Season 3
Welcome to Season 3 of Stork’d! This season includes 10 incredible stories of resilience, triumph, love, surprises, community, transformation and so much more as our guests share their unique definitions of family and paths to building family – including an update on my own journey to become an SMBC.
My sincere hope is that listening to these stories will give the Stork’d audience confidence, clarity and validation to create a family life which lights you up and is the right fit for you, however you chose to define family.
Season 3 Episodes
Welcome to season 3! Today, we discuss the upcoming Season 3 and I share an important life update. In many ways, the start of Stork’d and my own family building journey have run parallel to each other.
I speak with Saundra and Susan who have built a community which they lovingly call their village family. Filled with friends, family and neighbors, the village family was composed to create a diverse and rich environment for their daughter to grow and thrive in.
I talk with Paige Pieroni about Turner Syndrome and the incredible family building journey she and her husband are on. Turner Syndrome is a genetic condition which affects female chromosomes at birth, and one of the main ways it impacts Paige is that she is unable to have children as a result of underdeveloped ovaries.
Annie shares a beautiful narrative of choosing adoption as her first priority in her family building. We hear of her experience with private domestic adoption and the joy of becoming an adoptive parent.
Aaron Kartchner about fatherhood and what it’s like to be a non-stereotypical stay at home dad. Aaron’s first daughter was born extremely premature at 27 weeks resulting in a 135-day stay in the NICU. Aaron chose to step into the role of primary caretaker.
