I am so excited to officially announce a wonderful addition to The LIFE Nest team. Please help us warmly welcome Michelle Siddle, our new Executive Coordinator who hails from beautiful Nova Scotia.

Michelle is an experienced surrogate, an RPN, and brings years of management experience to The LIFE Nest. She is deeply passionate about health and wellness, trained in mental health support, incredibly organized, and full of thoughtful ideas and vision. More than that, she is a genuinely compassionate, positive, and caring person who naturally makes others feel supported and seen.

In her role as Executive Coordinator, Michelle will be overseeing the daily operations of TLN while helping strengthen and expand the heart of what we do. She has already stepped so beautifully into this role and is actively supporting our surrogates with care and dedication. She is also helping us grow our doula support and training program, along with our egg donation program.

Michelle truly feels like an answer to prayer. Her presence has already been such a blessing to our team, and I cannot wait for everyone to get to know her better as we continue building and growing together at The LIFE Nest.

Some surrogacy journeys are filled with excitement from the very beginning. Others carry heartbreak, silence, waiting, failed transfers, difficult appointments, loss, uncertainty, or moments where people feel completely alone in the process.

One thing I have learned is that support matters deeply.

Not just during the “big” milestones, but during the quiet moments too. The days filled with anxiety before beta results. The emotional weight after a failed cycle. The pressure surrogates can feel while carrying for another family. The fear intended parents carry after years of infertility, loss, or disappointment. The moments where everyone is trying to stay hopeful while protecting their hearts at the same time.

People often see the announcements and happy endings, but they do not always see the emotional, physical, financial, and mental layers underneath the journey.

Every person deserves to feel informed, respected, cared for, and genuinely supported throughout the process. Sometimes the greatest thing we can offer is simply steady support, honest communication, and a safe place to land during difficult moments.

Surrogacy is not just about reaching a destination. It is about walking through the journey with compassion, trust, and humanity together.

If you have experienced pain, stress, disappointment, or isolation during your surrogacy journey, whether as a surrogate or intended parent, please know that you do not have to carry it alone. If you need support or simply someone to talk to who understands the journey, please feel free to reach out or leave a comment below.

Wishing everyone a peaceful and beautiful Victoria Day weekend.

We hope you find a little time to slow down, rest, enjoy the sunshine, gather with people you love, and make memories that feel simple and meaningful. Long weekends can be busy, but they can also be a reminder to reconnect with what matters most.

Thinking of the families spending the weekend celebrating new babies, preparing for births, healing postpartum, navigating infertility, or simply trying to make it through another season of motherhood one day at a time. You are seen too.

Stay safe, enjoy the fresh air, and soak in the little moments this weekend brings.

Today is Hyperemesis Gravidarum Awareness Day, and for so many women, this is far more than “bad morning sickness.”

Hyperemesis gravidarum can be completely debilitating. It can mean months of relentless nausea and vomiting, dehydration, weight loss, isolation, hospital visits, fear, and feeling like your body is fighting against you while trying to grow life at the same time. Many women suffering from HG feel misunderstood because people often minimize it or compare it to normal pregnancy nausea, when in reality, it can impact every part of daily life and mental health.

Behind many healthy babies and beautiful birth announcements are mothers who survived pregnancies that were unimaginably difficult. Women who kept going while barely being able to eat, drink, function, work, parent, or even get out of bed. There are mothers who suffered quietly because they felt guilty for not “enjoying” pregnancy, while still loving their babies deeply.

Today is about awareness, compassion, and believing women when they say they are struggling. It is also about honoring the strength it takes to survive pregnancies that feel impossible while still holding onto hope for the miracle on the other side.

To every mother who has walked through HG, your experience was real, your suffering mattered, and your strength deserves to be recognized.

May is Preeclampsia Awareness Month, and this is something that deserves far more conversation and education than it often receives.

Preeclampsia is not “just high blood pressure.” It can come on suddenly, escalate quickly, and affect both mother and baby in very serious ways. One of the hardest parts is that many women dismiss the symptoms because they are told swelling, headaches, exhaustion, or not feeling right are just part of pregnancy. Sometimes a mother knows deep down that something feels off before anything shows clearly on paper.

This month is about awareness, but it is also about listening to women. Trusting mothers when they say something doesn’t feel normal. Encouraging women to seek medical care when symptoms arise. Supporting families who have walked through frightening pregnancies, NICU stays, birth trauma, loss, or long recoveries because of preeclampsia.

We believe mothers deserve to feel heard, informed, and cared for throughout pregnancy and postpartum, not dismissed or brushed aside.

To every mother who has experienced preeclampsia, postpartum preeclampsia, or severe pregnancy complications, we see your strength and we honour your story.

Today, we celebrate the women who nurture, love, protect, carry, guide, grieve, hope, heal, and hold others together in ways the world does not always see.

To the mothers.
To the grandmothers.
To the stepmothers.
To the women longing to become mothers.
To the women who have experienced loss.
To the surrogates who give the gift of life.
To the foster and adoptive mothers.
To the aunties, mentors, caregivers, and quiet mother figures.
To the women doing their best through exhaustion, heartbreak, joy, uncertainty, and growth.

You are so deeply valued and cherished.

We recognize that Mother’s Day can hold many emotions all at once. For some, it is beautiful and joyful. For others, it carries ache, memory, longing, or complicated love. Wherever you are today, we hope you feel seen.

Thank you for the care you pour into others, often in ways that never make headlines but change lives every single day.

Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at The LIFE Nest.

Today is World Maternal Mental Health Day, and it feels important to say this out loud. Mothers need more support.

Not just during labour and birth, but before pregnancy, during postpartum, through loss, through healing, through exhaustion, and through the moments nobody sees. So many women are carrying invisible weight while still trying to care for everyone around them.

We believe maternal health is about more than appointments and checklists. It is…
• Emotional health.
• Mental health.
• Nutritional health.
• Spiritual health.
• Rest.
• Safety.
• Community.
• Feeling heard.
• Feeling respected.
• Feeling genuinely cared for.

We also know that every journey looks different. Some women are becoming mothers for the first time. Some are healing from loss. Some are carrying babies for another family through surrogacy. Some are navigating infertility and wondering if motherhood will ever happen for them. Every one of those stories deserves compassion and support.

Today, we honour the strength of women everywhere, but we also want to remind mothers that they should not have to do this alone.

Today is International Day of the Midwife, and I just want to take a moment to honour the women who stand so quietly and powerfully at the center of birth.

Midwives don’t just “catch babies.” They hold space. They listen. They trust the process of a woman’s body in a way that is deeply rooted, deeply respectful, and deeply needed. They are often the calm in the room, the steady voice, and the ones who see both the strength and the vulnerability in a mother at the exact same time.

We’ve had the privilege of working alongside midwives in different birth spaces, and I can say this with my whole heart. When a midwife is present, something shifts. There is a level of care that goes beyond checklists and becomes relational. Intentional. Grounded.

The Life Nest, we value collaboration, respect, and making sure every woman feels supported in the way that is right for her. Midwives are such an important part of that picture as they protect, advocate, and walk with families through one of the most sacred transitions of their lives.

To every midwife, thank you for what you do, for how you care, and for the quiet strength you bring into every birth space.

Bereaved Mother’s Day
Today, we hold space for a kind of motherhood that the world does not always see or fully understand.
To the mothers who have carried life and also carried loss,
who have loved deeply and had to let go,
who continue to show up with a strength they never asked for,
You are a mother.
That does not change.
Your baby matters.
Your story matters.
Your love is still here, and it always will be.
We honour you today with gentleness and respect. There is no timeline on grief, no right way to carry this, and no expectation for how today should feel.
If today feels heavy, you are not alone in it. If today feels quiet, that is okay too. However it shows up for you, it is valid.
We are holding you in our hearts today.
