EP02: Options, Not Obligations: Navigating the Fertility Conversation


Listen Later

What does it actually mean to "have a choice" when it comes to motherhood? In this deeply personal episode, Rashmi, Priya, and Sonam pull back the curtain on their own fertility journeys. We get real about the grueling reality of IVF—from the physical toll to the emotional heartbreak of cycles that don't go as planned.

But fertility isn’t just one path. We dive into the empowering (and often taboo) choice to remain child-free, the strategic decision to freeze eggs for the future, and the beautiful possibilities of adoption and surrogacy. Whether you’re in the thick of treatments or deciding if parenthood is for you at all, this episode is a reminder that there is no "right" way—only your way.

What we discuss:

The IVF Rollercoaster: Our personal struggles with treatment and navigating the grief when it doesn't work.

The "Child-Free" Choice: Why it is okay (and empowering) to choose a life without children.

Preserving the Future: The logistics and peace of mind that come with freezing your eggs.

Expanding the Definition of Family: A look at adoption and surrogacy as viable, beautiful paths to parenthood.

Reclaiming Power: How modern science and social shifts give women more autonomy than ever before.
