I became a mom very young.
5
I was 22 at the time.
6
And so I was so excited.
7
I was so excited.
8
My ex -husband, he was really scared.
9
He wasn't the most excited, but I didn't care.
10
I was so excited.
11
and so um we were both young but yeah he came around finally
12
and um i mean he's my ex -husband
13
but um hopefully he doesn't see this and gets upset with me
14
but it's the truth i mean we were so young
15
and stuff but that's okay i mean my dad didn't want kids
16
when my mom told my dad
17
that she was pregnant he was not happy about it he was like
18
but the playboy parties and the orgies
19
and all this stuff it's all gonna end but then like
20
when i was born my dad was like this is the best thing
21
that ever happened to me like my father loved me like we were super close
22
but yeah you know he i mean my parents were not
23
that young my mom was 32 my dad was like 36
24
but yeah yeah my dad were like he he wasn't he wanted to like party
25
and like go to work like he didn't want kids
26
but then when he had kids he was like oh this is amazing yeah i was
27
so excited and uh i was just And then when I just I love being pregnant.
28
And when I was pregnant, I realized like I really loved being pregnant.
29
But also I think it's because I had never experienced something where I felt love like that.
30
And so I ended up becoming a surrogate after that too, because I just really loved being pregnant.
31
And I was a gestational one.
32
So I wasn't the biological mom.
33
They used donor eggs and eggs embryos they created from those donor eggs.
34
And then I had another one after the surrogacies because I was ready to have another one on my own.
35
But I also did egg donations too for gay couples.
36
Yeah.
37
I have a friend who did a lot of those too.
38
Yeah.
39
Those were fun.
40
And then those babies, they look just like me.
41
Oh my God.
42
So I have a question for you about that.
43
So being a surrogate, when you gave birth to the to the baby was it difficult at all to like hand
44
that baby over to this other couple or did you really just feel like
45
and like recognize like this is not my baby like how was
46
that feeling for you it felt uh kind of weird
47
because the baby that i had was chinese i feel like this is definitely not my baby i
48
and even though you know you can feel a connection to the baby.
49
I knew when I went into it that this was not mine.
50
So you never like struggled with the connection.
51
I was so excited to help somebody have a baby.
52
And then I loved that experience.
53
I wanted to do it again.
54
And so I did it again for a single guy.
55
And I just I love being pregnant.
56
I wish I could have an I talked about how I wanted to go to fertility clinic
57
and use donor sperm and i would create embryos and have one more but because i've had so much surgery
58
that's the only reason i don't want another one but
59
if i did i would be really excited about it
60
because it would be on my own terms you know i don't have to have anybody else
61
that makes like any kind of decision
62
because it's a donor sperm yeah yeah i have a friend
63
that used to work for me she did that she went out
64
and got she wanted to have a kid
65
and you know just like she's getting to an age where
66
she's like i'm not gonna find the right guy in time
67
and she got a donor sperm and she's she's a beautiful boy
68
and i see him like every week
69
and you know she just did it on her own yeah
70
what about being a donor egg like do you have contact
71
with um those kids at all like does it feel strange to know
72
that there's like versions of you running around
73
that like aren't yours they still the parents contact me they send me photos here
74
and there and then And I'll send them photos of my family.
75
And so I do contact them here and there.
76
But no, it's not weird.
77
I mean, I see the one of them that looks just like me.
78
So it's kind of cool.
79
Would you be open to meeting them if like down the line, when they were older, they like wanted to meet their biological mom?
80
Do you guys have that sort of like set up?
81
I've never really discussed that with them.
82
I mean, if they wanted to, they know everything about what I do for work.
83
So I always feel like I don't want to make anybody feel uncomfortable.
84
Like, oh, this is your biological mom.
85
She does or she does porn.
86
And I think the first family that I carried for when they had found out about what I did.
87
That's the last time I ever heard from them, and that was in 2022, and I would chat with them regularly.
88
So, that doesn't bother me, though, because, I don't know, it just doesn't bother me.
89
Yeah.
90
Not my biological child.
91
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
92
But if, like, the egg donor babies, if the parents didn't want me in the picture, it wouldn't bother me.
93
But I don't know.
94
I haven't really been in that situation where I felt rejected with them.
95
But, yeah, the first family just stopped talking.
96
They never said anything, but I have a feeling they stopped talking to me because they found out what I do.
97
Yeah.
98
Which is whatever.
99
Whatever.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
