Navigating Egg Freezing, Fertility Pressure, and Personal Agency with author Natalie Lampert | Golden Hour Podcast, Episode 32

What happens when a journalist dives deep into the world of egg freezing? In this episode, I sit down with award-winning writer and author Natalie Lampert, whose new book The Big Freeze (Random House, 2024) takes readers inside the booming egg freezing industry with unprecedented insight.

Natalie shares her personal thought process around egg freezing, what she discovered in years of reporting on fertility tech, and how the industry often markets hope while sidestepping harder truths. We unpack the emotional, medical, and financial pressures facing women today, and explore how fertility decisions intersect with autonomy, privilege, and systemic gaps in care.

Natalie’s work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and more. She’s also a TEDx speaker, Fulbright scholar, and deeply thoughtful storyteller. Whether you're considering egg freezing or simply navigating your own reproductive timeline, this episode offers clarity, nuance, and perspective.
