Welcome back to part 3 of our series on Surrogacy! In this episode Mariah concludes her story of being a surrogacy carrier. One of her main desires for being a surrogate was to experience birth with all the expertise and knowledge she has gained from being a birth doula.

She recounts the joy of giving birth to Ruby, Shay and Tyler's daughter, and what her postpartum experience was like.

We also talk about all the myths surrounding surrogacy, what it takes to become a surrogate carrier, how her husband and kids felt about and supported her through this experience, some unique struggles she faced, and how being a surrogate has changed her life and career goals.

She is also a passionate advocate for all things birth and postpartum, working as a doula and having been a surrogate herself. Her unique perspective blends professional expertise with personal experience, making her a powerful voice on caregiving, resilience, and community support.
