Thank you, Iyabo, for telling us this piece of your story. I love that way of thinking about motherhood that Dr. Lucas told you about. I find it meaningful for me because I love kids and I don't plan on having any biological kids of my own. Thank you again for your vulnerability.

Oh Iyabo, what a beautiful heart-tugging story. We don't know what another person goes through so we must have compassion for everyone. Thank you for sharing. It took a lot of courage and I feel like I know you so much better now. You have risen about such heartbreak. I will keep you in my prayers 🙏.
