Joe Apgar wasn’t thinking about infertility at 21.
He was just trying to survive cancer.

But years later — in the middle of dating, adulting, and trying to figure out what his future might look like — the reality hit: cancer hadn’t just changed his body… it had rewritten his path to parenthood.

In this episode, Joe shares what it’s like to navigate male infertility after cancer, and how the emotional weight of “undetectable sperm count” followed him into relationships, and self-worth.

Oh — and we also go all the way in on how awful the sperm bank experience is. From traumatizing vibes to beige waiting rooms and zero humanity, Joe and I dream up what it would look like if someone actually revolutionized the process.

This episode is honest, hilarious, and really got me in my feels. Joe’s story is a reminder that love, family, and healing don’t always show up how you thought they would… but when they do, it’s magic.
