In today's episode Jody welcomes Marissa Clohesy. Marissa gave birth to her first child at 49 years of age through egg donorship from a kind woman who worked at a clinic where she regularly had bloods done. Following the birth of her first child had three more viable embryos that she needed to use, she explains she looks at IVF through a very scientific lens - you need a womb, an egg and sperm. The next attempt saw Marissa miscarriage and she believes it was due to her doing too much, not resting and thinking she just needed to hurry up (because she was now pushing 50). Marissa successfully conceived her second child at 51.We speak about Marissa's journey with her first child who has now been diagnosed with ADHD and ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder). Largely unsupported in her motherly role Marissa talks about why she needs to stay active and healthy for her children and how she is determined to live to 100."Send us a message"Connect:Website • https://www.jodyvassallo.com/Gather • https://www.jodyvassallo.com/gatherInstagram • https://instagram.com/jodyvassallobeautifulfoodNewsletter • https://jodyvassallo.substack.com/Contact • https://www.jodyvassallo.com/contactSupport the Show:Leave a review on Apple • https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/changing-seasons-podcast/id1757970211Credits:Host: Jody VassalloProduction: Sovereign Creator • https://sovereigncreator.io© Changing Seasons.
