Episode 93 — Maddy’s Big YES: A Gift of Life, Love, and TrustThis episode is something truly special.In this conversation, we sit down with our friend Maddy, who shares a Big YES unlike any we’ve had on the podcast before, a YES that came from a deep, undeniable feeling after the birth of their own baby.Maddy knew they wanted to experience pregnancy again… but not to grow their own family. Instead, they felt called to become a surrogate, to carry and gift a baby to their friends, a gay couple, helping them become parents.What unfolds is a story of immense love, trust, and commitment.Maddy takes us through the journey, the emotional layers, the unexpected twists and turns, and the depth of what it means to say YES to something so big, so life-changing, and so deeply connected to others. Through it all, one thing remained steady: Maddy was all in.This episode opens up a beautiful conversation about what family can look like, beyond traditional definitions. It’s about the relationships created, the ongoing connection, and the way this shared experience has shaped all of their lives.We talk about communication, vulnerability, and the importance of leaning in, really listening, being honest, and allowing space for each person in the process. There’s a level of care, respect, and openness in this story that is both grounding and inspiring.More than anything, this conversation is a reminder of what is possible when people come together with intention, trust, and love.Maddy’s Big YES is not just about surrogacy, it’s about connection, generosity, and the incredible ways we can show up for each other in life.This one is a gift.Follow your Passion,Nat and MelYou can find Nat and Mel here:https://www.instagram.com/grabyourkeysandgo/https://www.instagram.com/shebreathesnow/https://www.instagram.com/splashoflifephotography/
