When we first sat down with Sophie in Episode One, we were introduced to a woman whose openness, raw emotion, and unwavering honesty set the bar for everything that followed. Sophie's ability to share the highs and lows of her life – from motherhood to running a sheep farm with her husband Ross, to navigating rural life with their son Dougal – touched a chord with so many of you. Her unique combination of grace, humor, and vulnerability made her story unforgettable.

Sophie’s journey, as she so honestly described, included the unexpected surprises of a COVID birth and the battles that came with fertility. She spoke candidly about the emotional toll and the challenges of accessing treatment while living rurally – a reality many women know all too well. Sophie's message was clear: listen to your gut, advocate for yourself, and never be afraid to ask for help.

As we pick up with Sophie in this second chapter, we are reminded why her first episode remains a fan favorite. This time, we dive deeper into the complexities of fertility, love, loss, and the unexpected twists that life throws your way. Sophie brings us her characteristic honesty, humor, and wisdom as she discusses the heartache of miscarriages, the unpredictability of pregnancy, and the ongoing battle that fertility presents.

For Sophie, this isn't a "journey" – as she so brilliantly puts it, fertility is a battle. There is nothing fun about it. It's a daily fight filled with tough decisions, emotional setbacks, and, at times, unimaginable grief. Yet, true to her spirit, Sophie shares it all with humor, grace, and the kind of candidness that continues to resonate with listeners.

So, buckle up for a conversation that’s filled with both tears and laughter, a reflection of life with Sophie, Ross, and their incredible family. It’s not always easy, but it’s always real, and that's why we are so grateful to have Sophie back with us once again.
