Exam outcomes. Your ride. Your marriage ceremony. We all experience the mixed emotions associated with expectation. However, consider expecting a jailed romantic interest? A child delivered by a gestational carrier? Or the interval from clinical death and revival? This reflective podcast, host Katy Davis listens to extraordinary stories of navigating such uncertainty.
