Episode 23: Surrogacy, A Pigeon, And Redefining The Traditional Family With Mariah Naella

I’ve loved every single guest and story I’ve shared on the podcast, but Mariah Naella’s story feels extra special. Maybe it’s because I had never even spoken to her before and she was so generous and open. Maybe it’s because her story was so compelling that I was a little speechless at times. Or maybe it’s because she lives with a pigeon – and it’s a pretty special little bird. Maybe it’s all of these reasons and a few more.
You’re going to have to listen in to hear why I love this episode so much. I don’t want to give away too much – just know that Mariah proves just how strong and courageous a person can be. The woman is truly remarkable. And has a really great laugh.

July 10, 2015Good for you taking time for yourself! I’m hoping to be able to take a month off and just reconnect and relax, one day. Mariah’s story is so beautiful! There is so much beauty and inspiration in her words. Her friend Havvah seems to be an amazing person. The pigeon story is very cool too. Thanks Jessica. You’re guests are ALL AMAZING!
