This week marks four years of writing 5 Things (that’s 850+ stories!) – and just over a year of my podcast 5 Things in 15 Minutes.
5 Things / Getting It Wrong
This week my team and I made a few mistakes. Sometimes we get it wrong, and I appreciate the folks who took the time to help me get it right and hold me accountable. Keep it coming.

I know that not just moms give birth (because some trans and non-binary people do also, and may not use the word ‘mom’) and I knew another term for breast milk is expressed milk (and thanks to Lucy, ‘human milk’). Lucy also shared a resource on the topic of transgender fertility.
