Episode 12: Celebrating LGBTQIA+ Families with If These Ovaries Could Talk


Listen Later

Oh-varies, do we have a special treat for you! On this episode, Ruby and Anne talk with Jaimie Kelton, who is the co-host of the famed show, If These Ovaries Could Talk, the queer families podcast. The podcast has been written up in Forbes Magazine, was a Webby Award honoree, and has a celebrity-studded following (like Amy Schumer…no big deal).

When she went through her own fertility journey, Jaimie looked around and couldn't find stories like hers – of queer people building families, facing roadblocks, and experiencing the joys of parenthood. So she started If These Ovaries Could Talk to fill the gap.

In today's conversation, Ruby, Anne, and Jaimie dig into the nuances of queer parenting and fertility journeys – from trips to the clinic, to donor siblings, to decisions about where to get sperm, to insurance coverage biases. It's informative, honest, and funny, all rolled together.

In addition to podcasting, Jaimie is an actor, singer, dancer, wife, and lesbian mom to two kids.

Happy Pride, all!!
