“I didn’t think this could work.”

In this honest episode, Whitney sits down with Amy Huston to share what it’s really like to build a family through egg donation and surrogacy when pregnancy isn’t possible and certainty feels out of reach.

After years of IVF, medical challenges, and letting go of genetics as the defining marker of parenthood, Amy introduces the idea of “borrowed trust” — leaning on the belief of others when hope feels exhausted. She shares how releasing control, choosing an egg donor, and trusting a surrogate helped her grow her family in ways she never expected.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What it’s like to pursue egg donation and surrogacy after medical challenges
• Why IVF and third-party reproduction are never guarantees
• How Amy shifted from genetics to connection
• What “borrowed trust” means during infertility
• Why letting go can open the door to something better
• This episode is for anyone navigating uncertainty and wondering if family building can still work — even when confidence feels borrowed.
