Belinda sits down with Christy Quinn for a beautiful and honest conversation about surrogacy, motherhood, neurodivergence, relationships and choosing joy through it all.
Currently pregnant as a surrogate, Christy shares what led her to carry a baby for another family, the realities of IVF, surrogacy and pregnancy, and how she and her husband have navigated the journey alongside raising their two sons.
We also talk about life inside a neurodivergent family, and what happens when everyone experiences the world a little differently. Christy shares the challenges, the lessons, and the incredible gifts that come with raising children who think and feel deeply.
What we cover:
- Christy’s journey into altruistic surrogacy and what made her say yes
- The realities of IVF, surrogacy and carrying a baby for another family
- How she explained surrogacy to her two sons
- Raising children in a neurodivergent family
- The lessons she’s learned through motherhood, healing and forgiveness
- Why dancing, joy and connection are such a big part of how Christy moves through life
Whether you’re curious about surrogacy, navigating neurodivergence, raising children or simply trying to parent in a way that honours who your child truly is, this conversation offers insight, compassion and a fresh perspective on doing life differently.
