The Dating Stories

In this episode we invite Camille, who is keen to break the taboo of "egg freezing" by (single) women in their thirties or beyond. More than a year ago Camille's long term relationship ended abruptly and unexpectedly. As she's in her thirties and has a warm wish to become a mom one day, this breakup had an even bigger impact than one would imagine. This was the starting point for Camille to decide to freeze her eggs. Now, a couple of months later, Camille is happy in life again, and determined to spread the word around social freezing. She went all the way to the Parliament to convince our politicians to have the procedure reimbursed. So, tune into this episode, and learn all about social freezing, what it takes, what it costs, the pros and cons and how it brought back comfort to Camille's (love) life.
