Prepare to absolutely be blown away and inspired once you've heard the story of Lori Holland. Lori is a Georgia native who not only fought breast cancer, but then as soon as she saw the light at the end of the chemo tunnel, suffered a massive stroke that could have ended her life.

Lori says she lives a good life and I can't help but agree. Please listen and be inspired. Ashley and Bailey could have talked to her all day. Want to find Lori to tell her how amazing she is?

Join Bailey and Ashley as they talk surrogacy/gestational carriers with Jessica Daves from Memphis, TN. When you begin your fertility journey images of another woman carrying your child rarely make an appearance in your daydreams, but for some women that distant option becomes Plan A.

And thank God, it worked. We would like to thank Jessica Daves for sharing her story of hope, strength, and trusting another human so deeply.

Bailey and Ashley sit down with Devin Smith as she discusses losing her sister Tabatha in a sudden car accident. The small community of those who have lost siblings is one that The Undelivered wanted to give space to. Devin explains that she went from a glass half full, perfect bubble life to one that was shattered by the sudden loss of her big sister. James 4:8--"Draw near to the Lord and He will draw near to you." Devin's children nicknamed her sister Tabatha, Abba--which means The Father in Hebrew. We hope The Father was pleased with this interview. For more behind the scenes for The Undelivered follow Bailey & Ashley on IG
