Ep. 164: This week, I’m opening up about my first IVF appointment and sharing the details of my fertility journey so far. From navigating the emotional ups and downs to the mental health tools that have helped me stay grounded, I’m bringing you along for the ride. Plus, I’m answering your questions about IVF prep, lifestyle changes, and even my dream of getting a pony—because sometimes, it’s okay to just want one! Tune in for a candid conversation about hope, resilience, and the road to parenthood.
