I’ve been getting a lot of questions about what is going on with me personally these days so I thought I would jump on here and give an update. I’ve told a few people, but for those who want to know, here it is. Disclaimer: I really hope that the guys who click in and read this stuff have dropped off by now, like, seriously, scroll on past dudes. I’m going to take a deep dive into women’s health issues in this post, and probably more and more so in future post because, duh, I am “The Fertility Advocate” and I talk about this stuff all day every day in my work. So if this stuff isn’t your jam, all good! Just consider yourself warned!…

One thing is for sure, people have a lot of questions about surrogacy –and I think that is just GREAT!! The more we can hear from the beautiful surro moms out there, the more surrogacy can become a more talked about, mainstream and assessable option for those wishing to grow their family. Below is a quick interview with surro mom, Skylier. I asked her my top 10 MOST ASKED surrogate questions, and I love the way she answered those tough questions with such grace and ease. I’m sure you’ll enjoy reading her interview as much as I did! XO, Megan Skylier’s Interview 1.) What has been your favorite part of being a surrogate mom so far? I love the joy that is already pouring in from…

Meet beautiful surro mom, Valerie. I asked her to weigh in with her answers on some of the most common questions surrogate mother’s get asked. I really appreciated her candor and transparency — and I think you will agree with me! She is happy to give helpful tips and advice to mommies looking to take this step for themselves. You can follow the journey she documented on instagram under the handle: @thisismysurrojourney. Enjoy! XO, Megan Valerie’s Interview 1.) What has been your favorite part of being a surrogate mom so far? My favorite part would be the very unique connection I have with my sweet surro baby. It’s not like anything I’ve ever felt which makes it very special. I love her but not like my…

I have this friend named Megan, we are strangely identical in more ways than just sharing the same name. We met almost 15 years ago and have weathered so many of life’s storms, together, side-by-side. I was that weepy Maid of Honor that couldn’t hold it together during my toast; I just love her so much and am SO excited that she is using her gifts and talents to now serve women! She has an amazing career as an event planner for CAA, the top talent agency in the world. She does things like host Grammy parties and Sundance parties, and the Golden Globes. So you know, no big deal… 😉 She recently launched her “Power Your Purpose” podcast and it was so fun to…

I have some really inspiring friends. I learn so much from them — especially by watching how they handle the curve balls life that can throw our way. One thing they have taught me — and demonstrated by their actions — is the importance of practicing gratefulness, and the ability to turn even extremely difficult circumstances into something good.

It was hard work transitioning Cal to preschool this past Fall. It’s such a lovely little play school. The teachers are gently and kind, the room is full of fun toys and he gets to play with water, play dough, sand, dirt — everything a kid could want. But he cried and clung to me and didn’t want to let me drop him off and leave. This was not one of the parts of parenting I had given much thought to. My heart felt like it was breaking watching him sob and cling to me. It hurt me so much — I would sit at my desk at work with my stomach in knots asking myself if I am doing the right thing. (more…)

I love my crew of girl friends, they are smart, funny, loyal, and sharp as hawks — and they totally called me out about my instagram posts looking altogether too pretty. You see, they know the state of my kitchen, and no, it’s not perfectly picked up and organized and shining. They know the state of my house, God love them, and they KNOW I picked things up in that one little corner of the house before that photo was snapped. So that little square frame that you see on instagram looks effortless, but really it was me rushing around sweating and pushing toys and dishes and who knows what else to the side, to get that one pretty little shot.
