Description

My guest, Ariel Ng-Bourbonnais, shares her infertility and pregnancy loss journey.  There is often stigma and shame around this topic and Ariel wants to change that.  This led to her co-founding The 16 Percent, which provides women and men a safe place to share their stories. From this movement, came her book "Through Not Around", a collection of personal essays that aims to show those with a shared infertility and pregnancy loss experience a way through grief and a path toward healing. Ariel believes in the importance of embracing one's vulnerability and emphasizes that we all have a "unique story and it deserves to be told".
