While Linda waits for her new arrival, she excitedly checks in with her Australian family and receives a dry dose of long distance reality from her parents. Meanwhile, Linda’s best friend shares her very recent birth story and the hilariously unplanned nuances of new motherhood.
In the short moments before her life changes, Linda and Magnus also need to move house. After years of her long distance relationship and fertility uncertainty, she’s now waiting for the day. And with heavy anticipation (and some fears) around the inevitable birth, Linda has Magnus by her side and so far from where she started this story.
We’ll be taking a moment to pause Linda Marigliano’s Tough Love story here, returning with episodes after a brief parental leave hiatus. We’re continually giving thanks to the folk who have helped tell this story so far this season: Amelia, Adair with Tough Love, Melody, Maia, Amber and Evie at twntythree, Danielle and Lauren from Pandora … We’re eternally grateful to every guest who has generously given their time to featuring and sharing the series. And most importantly, thank YOU for listening. We love you.
