by love & courage

It’s the understatement of a lifetime to say we are so grateful, thrilled, and relieved to finally be releasing (so soon!) our first narrative podcast series, Making a Mother. This project is so close to our hearts, and we couldn’t imagine sharing this first glimpse with anyone but you.

Making a Mother is a collection of raw, honest stories about some of the complex circumstances and unthinkable challenges women face in the pursuit of motherhood. These stories speak to the physical scars left on our bodies, as well as the emotional scars left on our hearts. Featuring universal themes of loss and redemption, broken dreams and resilience, deep heartache and unwavering love—each episode showcases one woman’s unique story of courage, hope, and tenacity.

If getting a peek into these stories moves you the way it moves us, we’d love for you to be part of our Making a Mother podcast launch team.

As a launch team member, you’ll:

• Join Ashlee Gadd and our host Julie Vlahon for a behind-the-scenes Zoom chat about the process of creating the podcast.

• Get insider details about the stories featured in the series.

• Help spread the word by sharing with friends, posting on social media, and reviewing the podcast wherever you listen.

• Consider hosting a Making a Mother podcast club! Similar to a book club, you can use our forthcoming episode guides to foster meaningful conversations with your friends around each woman’s story.

This is a passion project built with so much care and love, and we couldn’t do it without you. Will you help us launch Making a Mother in the new year?

Thank you for being part of this journey and allowing us to create all kinds of slow art (sometimes really slowly.) The first five episodes of Making a Mother launch in January and we can’t wait to share them with you! ❤️
