My journey to parenthood was marked by 6 years of longing and uncertainty. I endured numerous medical procedures and the heartache of repeated disappointments. Accepting that parenthood might not be part of my story was challenging. I was open to adoption, but it also presented its challenges. In 2013, after one final attempt at IVF, I was blessed with healthy twin boys. This moment transformed my journey into one of profound joy and fulfillment. With over 20 years of experience as the founder of Lucky Chick Beauty, I was familiar with life’s ups and downs as an entrepreneur, but nothing prepared me for the challenges of making a baby. While others seemed to achieve parenthood easily, my path was more complex. I faced the demands of injecting medications and surgically implanting embryos. Today, my fertility struggles put life’s challenges in perspective. I’m grateful that more people are open about their struggles, helping others feel less alone on their journey to parenthood.

LOCAL EDITION EPISODE! Mom Of Non-Verbal Child With Autism Helps Him Communicate & Write A Book - Laura Hirsch S7 E29 More Than Meets the Eye is a collaboration between a mother and son, Laura Hirsch and Trevor Hirsch. Trevor was diagnosed with regressive autism at age three. He is now 25 years old. He does not say a lot verbally, however Trevor learned how to play the piano and sing songs when he was 21 years old. Then, two years later, he started doing Spelling 2 Communicate, and learned to spell on a letterboard what he couldn’t say verbally. He spelled to his mom that he wanted to write a book with her about his life to inspire others. Trevor even chose the title of the book. As an author of numerous books, Laura knew she had to tell Trevor’s story. This method is giving a voice to the voiceless millions who have been trapped in a silent cage, and have been misunderstood their entire lives.   If this wasn’t enough, since Trevor has been doing Spelling 2 Communicate, he has been able to share with Laur

I was happily going through life devoted to my career as a healer and massage therapist. I then went back to school in my mid-thirties to get my Masters in Oriental Medicine. Suddenly I started feeling the clock ticking, even though I was extremely busy and did not have a partner at the time. I had always been hesitant to bring a child into this world, but did not want to miss out. Five years later, I did end up getting married and carried a baby into the end of the first trimester before I had a miscarriage. I was 42 years old. It was then that I learned for the first time that miscarriages, especially in the first trimester, are extremely common. I connected with many women who suffer this trauma silently. Never-the-less, I was devasted. I started studying everything I could about infertility and how to fix it. That is when I discovered the work of Weston Price, a dentist in the 1930s. His ancestral, nutrient dense diet was an integral part of cultivating a new, more wholistic approach to how I

Working mom - An attorney for 21 years specializing in childbirth cases. Parenting and working has always been a challenge, particularly since I am married to a busy business owner. My husband and I worked together closely when raising kids, plus had great support from his parents. This allowed me to travel the country for work. I am also a bestselling author and that journey did require me to spend less time with my family. It took 14 months and 1000's of hours to write the book. I get up at 3:00 am everyday and usually in bed between 7pm and 8pm. The book was published in June 2023. Author of the Book a "A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth." As an attorney that specializes in childbirth cases, I have analyzed the mistakes that are made during labor and delivery. Drawing on this knowledge, I authored the book "A Parent's Guide to a Safer Childbirth" to help parents prevent these mistakes and have a healthy baby. Rather than merely getting involved after an unfortunate mistake was made, I am getting invo

*Most people get into birth work because they had a very negative birth experience. That's not my story. I became a doula in 2001, long before it was a common term.*Then, from about ages 24-29, I apprenticed with a home birth midwife, mostly to the Amish community.*It was during this time that I became aware of just how common fertility challenges and miscarriages are.*I took my nutrition education/experience and coupled it with my career in birth work (doula, prenatal/postpartum yoga instructor, placenta encapsulation specialist, founder of a doula collective that gave workshops on topics like making birth plans, breastfeeding, baby wearing, etc.) and began focusing on fertility optimization.*When my first daughter (both born at home) was a toddler, I began doing research for a naturopath on MTHFR & methylation*That exploded into a comprehensive functional genomic analysis that I use today to support my clients to get to foundational causes of puzzling health challenges, like fertility.I am a functional

LOCAL EDITION EPISODE! I've been a pseudo-stepmom to my boyfriend's two kids since entering their lives five years ago. We waited a long while before I even met his now 18-year-old daughter and now 12-year-old son. We've very much taken everyone else's perspectives and experiences into consideration when it has come to the pace of our relationship. We're absolutely soulmates, but we're not married yet simply for bigger-picture reasons and also some financial reasons. Although marriage has always been part of the conversation.  We have my boyfriend's two kids 50% of the time, week on and week off. The daughter graduates high school this year, so changes are definitely in store in the coming months. I personally always desired/chose to be child-free. However, I made the choice to accept and welcome my boyfriend's kids into my life. On the good days, I feel like I'm getting a piece of something that I would've not experienced being child-free. But on the tough days, it can

LOCAL EPISODE!  First time I ever did a drug I was 5 years old. My father tried to rape me when I was 11 yrs old. My mother tried to beat me when I was 12yo. My brother and I were on meth when I was 14 yo and he tried to have a weird romantic relationship with me. I left home at 16 yo.  I say all that so you know where I came from with how I grew up and the parenting skills I started with. I waited until I was 30 to have children because I wasn't sure if I was going to fuck up my kids if I had them. I had gone through so much growing up and I was still relying on pot and alcohol to cope and escape stress in my life. I also had an abortion at 18 and I wasn't sure if I'd ever be ready to parent nor did I feel I deserved to have children after being careless. But my hormones kicked in when I was 29 and I turned into an animal about having kids, lol. Literally, I could only think about having kids and how I must become a mom, lol. I'm laughing to myself about how quick I changed my mind and how de

Here are some tips to dispel the myths of the miserable divorce, how to talk to children and promote a good divorce, which is one in which the children come first: ● Show your success and happiness with your head held high. Attend your children’s events and school meetings with your ex, gracefully acknowledge your children’s time spent with your ex as an important time for development for your children, and focus on self-care for yourself.  ● Half-truths about your divorce can mutate and spin out of your reach. Share your situation with a limited number of people, especially at work and among friends too, so that you can control the flow of information and protect your children from misinformation about the details of your divorce.  ● Children are impressionable regardless of their age. When telling children, generally less is more and simpler is better. In the best divorces Sarah has witnessed, the children are unaware of why their parents got divorced.   ● Gossips fuel the myth of the inadequate divorced pa
