  • Terrible Fucking News and Special Guest Ariane Price!

    Spoiler alert: Molly got her PGT-A results back and they're not good. It's a rough one, y'all, but luckily she's got a very funny guest, Ariane Price, whose horrific tales of endometriosis, pregnancy and postpartum depression are a wonderful respite from the gut-wrenching catastrophe that is Molly's life right now.

  • What's the Deal with PGT-A, Preimplantation Genetic Testing?!


    This week Molly ponders PGT-A, Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (the latest version of PGS). PGT-A helps doctors identify abnormal embryos before transferring them into the uterus to help avoid failed cycles, miscarriages, or having a child with severe health problems. Sounds great, right? But not all doctors are on board with it. What’s the deal?! Why?! Molly digs deep to get to the bottom of her own feelings about PGT-A with the help of doctors, listeners, strangers from the internet and friends of the podcast.

  • Self-Injurious Behavior with Jessica Cavanagh

    Molly and Amanda interview playwright and actor Jessica Cavanagh about her new play, Self-Injurious Behavior, loosely based on her experience raising a child with autism. And it's a comedy!

    Plus Molly runs into her friend Hanna at Dr. Kalan's office and tries to figure out next steps if she's not pregnant. And a phone call with friend of the podcast, Shelby Gale finally gives her the push she needs to make a decision about IVF...if she is, in fact, not pregnant. Which...is she? Listen and find out!

  • Shelly Gossman on Cancer and Motherhood (or not)

    This week Molly and Amanda interview Shelly Gossman...seasoned improviser, writer for SNL, Raising Hope, and APBio as well as co-executive producer of APBio. Shelly had Lymphoma at 23 and Breast Cancer at 35 and clearly she didn't let that slow her down. But what about motherhood? Did she want to be a mom? What's an oophorectomy? What's a bicornuate uterus? What were her options? How can improv help Cancer patients?


    Plus Molly tells you all about her week in Tinder. She thinks it's a pretty funny story. Maybe you will too.
