Show Notes

We’re almost near the end of Katie’s Crib season 4 - and the PODCAST, Katie’s Crib! 

 

In the almost-last episode of the show, Katie welcomes Netflix’s “Wednesday” actress Riki Lindhome to the mic. Riki shares her unique journey of how she became a parent through surrogacy.

 

Riki first discusses the challenges she faced in trying different ways to conceive before surrogacy, including the unexpected decision her ex-partner made along the way.

 

The “Garfunkel and Oates” star then opens up about the balance between her career and motherhood. She also reflects on her son's personality, from his seriousness during infancy up to his now playful identity.

 

Finally, did you know that Riki is coparenting within a new relationship? Tune in to hear more, and of other insights Riki has learned along the way in raising her son.
