    • episode 54 - Brooke Padanyi on IVF

      We're back, baby! Right before we jumped on with this week's guest, Brooke Padanyi, Nicole and I were gushing about how excited we were to record again. This guest reminded us why - she is so real, funny, and honest about a tough subject - IVF.

      • What Brooke's experience of going through IVF was like
      • How she made the decision to go ahead with it (even with the hefty price tag)
      • What got her through the brutal and lonely parts of IVF
      • The mental and physical toll of the process
      • What a joy list is (and why it's relevant)
      • Why women need to advocate for themselves throughout the process

        • We absolutely loved talking to Brooke. She mentioned she would be happy to talk anyone through her experience in more detail - her instagram is @broooke__w if you'd like to reach out.
