For a long time, I’ve noticed the way we talk about motherhood — how often it’s framed as the moment a woman becomes whole.

As someone who is pregnant and stepping into this next chapter, I wanted to slow that conversation down.

In this episode, I reflect on motherhood as a new level, not a missing piece. I talk about the years of becoming that make strong mothers possible, the women in my life whose lives are already full and meaningful without children, and why implying something was “missing” before motherhood denies the very structure that makes motherhood grounded and healthy.

Nothing was missing. Not before. Not now.

If you’ve ever wondered how IVF actually works, this episode walks you through everything.

I’m taking you from my first consultation in August 2024, through the endless labs and imaging, my Lupron era, stimulation meds, bloating, monitoring ultrasounds, and the entire egg retrieval process. Then I break down exactly what happens to the eggs in the lab… fertilization, embryo development, blastocyst grading, and PGT testing. And finally, we walk through the embryo transfer process: how estrogen and progesterone work, what lining monitoring looks like, and how the actual transfer takes less than 20 seconds but somehow changes everything.

This is a long, honest, detailed episode designed for:

• anyone starting IVF
• anyone supporting a friend going through IVF
• or anyone who wants to feel seen, validated, and less alone

If you’re navigating infertility or preparing for IVF, I hope this episode arms you with clarity and reminds you that you’re not walking this road alone.

“Kids are expensive,” they say.

And I’m over here like… my daughter has already cost me FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. And she’s still in the womb.

In today’s episode, I break down the unbelievable (but very real) financial side of IVF: meds, retrievals, transfers, testing, monitoring, and the fun little plot twist of having Factor V Leiden, which means daily Lovenox injections to keep both of us safe.

And don’t worry, insurance makes multiple appearances… mostly as the villain.

If you’ve been through fertility treatments or are in the thick of them now, this episode will feel way too familiar.

Let’s talk about the true price of a miracle.
