You might recognize this amazing woman from The Bachelor. Not only was she once a contestant, she WON season 2 of Bachelor Pad and met her hubby, Blake, on the show. Blake and Holly have had a very challenging path to parenthood that includes all the things - IVF, IUIs, surrogacy, and eventually adoption. You will not believe the struggles and heartbreak Holly has faced to finally meet her beautiful daughter. Her path to parenthood wasn't easy, but it was perfect in the end.

Alex takes her first Jager bomb and adopts a neighbor's cat. Blair's chickens are needier than ever. We are both in a waiting period in our own cycles so we discuss the anxiousness and emotional mind fuck that brings. Blair contemplates taking up crafting... basically, we are a HOT MESS!

On this episode, I interview Daryl and Sara Van Tongeren, authors of the book, The Courage to Suffer: A New Clinical Framework for Life’s Greatest Crises. Daryl is a professor of psychology and Sara is a clinical social worker. The motivation to write the book, in part, came after receiving a very challenging infertility diagnosis. Their book is based on their experience and their clinical research and is about how people can use a combination of existential and positive psychology to work through the phases of suffering and discover a new sense of meaning in their lives.

GOOD NEWS! Alex's embryos made it to her new clinic - but why the F wasn't there a delivery notification?! Doesn't it work just like Amazon Prime?

July is Fibroid Awareness Month, so who better to interview than the Fibroid Queen herself?! Phyllis is a Registered Nurse, yoga instructor, and fitness coach who has battled fibroids for a large chunk of her life.

Through being her own guinea pig, she has developed a holistic fitness regimen, the Fibroid Fitness Challenge, to help other women do the same.

Dr. Knight blows my mind in this episode! Ovarian rejuvenation - say what?! Yep, that's right - there is technology out there that wakes up ovaries that have stopped producing eggs. IVF over 40?!
