Linda Hoang appears to have it all, at least on social media. Her page is filled with photos of her family, friends, food, travel but she admits something is missing. “It's sort of like we are living this half or fake life,” explains Linda. “We are very happy about the life we have, but it's not the life that we have wanted for the last five years.”  She and her husband Mike have been diagnosed with ‘unexplained infertility’ and for the past five years have been trying to conceive. Linda joins us to talk about the diagnosis and her options for starting a family. You can learn more about Linda by connecting with her through twitter or her website, Linda-Hoang.com.

Family Matters is a conversation sparked by parents, for parents, where we explore the issues that matter to you and navigate the challenges we all face. We are not experts but rather every day moms learning by trial and error. Our biggest hope for is that you walk away feeling a little more informed and above all – understood…like we get you because we’re in it too.

Host Laurel Gregory is an award-winning journalist who has worked in Canadian media for 16 years. The mother of two co-created Family Matters in 2016 in order to create a reliable source of information to both educate and entertain parents. She secretly envies parents who raised children prior to the information age and is confident that – big or small - a walk in the woods and a good night’s sleep cures all.

Producer Christine Meadows has been with Global Edmonton for a decade, minus the 2 years spent on maternity leave with her boys. She is constantly navigating balance in her life as a working mom who loves her boys but also loves her “me time”. She fears screen time is going to be her biggest life regret and is still trying to ditch social media after-hours to be more present
