IVF mama and LIttle Words Project founder Adriana Carrig

It's our 250th Episode! Wooooot! Today, Ali is talking to a very special guest: Adriana Carrig, the brilliant IVF mama behind Little Words Project, the jewelry line featuring inspiring and empowering words and promoting kindness and support. Adriana tells Ali all about her family building journey, including what kind of sex education (or lack thereof) she got while growing up; her two year trial period of having sex but not getting pregnant; and what happened when she and her husband, Bill, went to a fertility specialist. She talks about having her first son through IVF; going "clean" in terms of her diet and beauty products; having her second son -- including a long and difficult NICU stay; and why she believes so strongly in the "power of the mind." She also talks how she took LIttle Words Project from something she did in her parents' basement to the behemoth it is today.
