In this episode, we are joined by not one but two, incredible individuals, Baden and Zane Colt, who are intended parents by surrogacy, expecting their first child in July 2023. Baden and Zane get raw and real with their journey, which begins with Baden's childhood epilepsy diagnosis and their lead-up to today where they are working with their surrogate, Ashley, who is 24.5 weeks pregnant, and all the milestones and challenges in between.

Baden and Zane are active members of the surrogacy and fertility communities with Baden running a support group for intended moms by surrogacy and Zane sits on the board of Conceivable Dreams, an Ontario-focused fertility advocacy organization. Together they run the surrogacy blog Not My Tummy (But I'm Still Mummy) as well as the popular Instagram account @notmytummy, where they focus on telling their story, sharing surrogacy resources, and educating the general public about surrogacy through the lens of parents-to-be by surrogacy.
