Hello all! This week I sat down to chat with an old friend of mine. Hannah is one of the most wonderful people I know. She is so incredibly warm, FUNNY, and bubbly, and her story is so insightful, and one I think everyone who is trying to conceive should hear. Hannah is currently undergoing rounds of IVF, in the hope that she and her husband, will have a baby. She is so vulnerable, candid, and knowledgeable about her experiences, and I cannot thank her enough for sharing! If you enjoyed this, and would like to connect with Hannah, you can find her on Instagram @journey_to_baby_mclean.
