In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my wife, Katie Steinfeld, to talk about her deeply personal journey as a surrogate for one of her best friends. At a point in her life where she was already raising four children and managing a successful business, Katie took on the incredible challenge of carrying a baby for someone else.

Listen as Katie shares the emotional and physical aspects of being a surrogate, especially as a “geriatric pregnancy,” and the profound impact it had on her, our family, and her friendship. It’s a powerful reminder of the strength of human connection, the joy of selfless giving, and the incredible things we can achieve when we step outside our comfort zones.

Whether you’re interested in surrogacy, family dynamics, or simply looking for an inspiring story, this episode is a must-listen.
