Kyle and his partner welcomed their first son in 2024 born via an independent surrogacy journey. He has continued to educate, inform and support other IP’s on the overall surrogacy process. Surrogacy is a large leap of faith and IP’s should feel empowered to find the support that they need in order to be successful in their journeys. Everyone’s journey will be different but the foundation to successful journeys are unilaterally the same.

The My Fertility Journey podcast, hosted by fertility coach Bianca Bolissian, began as a haven for struggling TTC (Trying to Conceive) Warriors and those who had to adapt to futures different from their dreams.
It is also a place where Bianca shares her story and the knowledge of those who have reached the other side of their journey, sharing their tales of love and hope. Expert advice is a crucial component, featuring the experts that in some way were part of her journey, including guests in the fields of fertility and overall wellness.
