Becoming a gay parent can feel incredibly isolating.
How do you find other gay dads?
Where’s the sense of community?
And why does it often feel like nothing in the parenting world was designed with you in mind?

That’s where David Morgenstern comes in. A gay dad to a 4-year-old with a background in marketing, David set out to build something more than just a brand—he built a movement.

Gaddies is fun, stylish, and community-driven. What started as a line of apparel meant to make a statement has grown into a hub of connection and resources for gay dads everywhere. From t-shirts to tote bags to tools for navigating parenthood, Gaddies is helping dads feel seen, supported, and proud.

Midwifery care looks vastly different depending on where you are in the world—and even from one region to another. Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to Ness Dixon, a passionate and multi-talented professional who, among many roles, serves as a Registered Midwife in Ontario, Canada. In our conversation, Ness shares insights into the traditional roots of midwifery and how the profession has evolved over the past few decades to meet the changing needs of birthing people and their families.

When you ask someone on a first date, “Do you want kids?”—you likely have a clear vision of the future you're hoping to build.

For Kim and Aldo, that vision took a full decade, countless challenges, and unwavering commitment to bring to life. After exploring every possible path to parenthood, they’re now living the dream they once imagined.

In today’s episode, I speak with them from their home in the Netherlands about their incredible journey to family—navigating bureaucracy, overcoming obstacles, and, just days before our conversation, finally becoming the legal parents of their 23-month-old daughter.

You can follow their family story on Instagram @2gaydadsinnl and on TikTok as Two Gay Dads in NL.

What do you do when you’ve got young kids, thriving careers, and life already feels full?
If you're Lisa and Jaimee, you add twins to the mix—and start a podcast to capture it all.

Today, I’m chatting with the dynamic duo behind The Two Mom Edit, a podcast that’s honest, funny, and deeply relatable. From how they found each other, to building their beautiful family, to sharing the messy, magical moments in between—Lisa and Jaimee keep it real.

You can find their show on Apple Podcasts and follow them on Instagram @thetwomomedit.

Bonus: Lisa and Jaimee are also the founders of Limitless Slides, the company featured in this month’s sponsor spots on the babyREADY podcast!

Growing up during the early days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic meant living with a deep, often paralyzing fear. So much was unknown, and the narrative at the time made it feel like a life sentence—especially for those of us who were Queer. The idea of creating a family, let alone using your own genetic material, felt impossibly out of reach.

But oh, how far we've come.

Today, I’m deeply honoured to speak with Brian Rosenberg, founder of GWK Academy. Brian is a gay, HIV-positive parent of three who generously shares the story of how he and his husband built their family through adoption and surrogacy. He also opens up about the mission behind GWK Academy—an organization dedicated to supporting Queer people on their path to parenthood.

The last thing any hopeful parent wants to hear is, “You can’t move forward until you’ve had a counselling session.”
But in Canada, Implications Counselling is a required step for anyone using donor eggs or sperm to grow their family — and that includes all individuals and couples, not just Queer folks.

While it might sound like a barrier, for Dara Roth-Edney, it's actually an opportunity: a chance to ensure hopeful parents feel seen, heard, and supported as they navigate the complexities of assisted reproduction.

Today, Dara joins me to share more about this essential process and the work she and her team do at Informed Fertility.

When you finally pluck up the courage to come out to your parents, you cross your fingers and hope that, for the most part, nothing really changes. You want to feel that love and support. Sometimes you don’t think about the questions and concerns that your own parents may have. Do you give them space for that? Do they give you space to ask your questions and feel your feelings?

Angela Briones is my guest on the show today and she talks about her podcast where she tackles this subject and so much more.
