Our IVF Struggles With Parenthood & Marriage + Everything We Did To Have Our Daughter

Recorded: May 7th 2025 | To celebrate Mother’s Day, we’re dropping a bonus episode. Will Compton sat down with his wife, Charo Compton, to talk through the raw, emotional, and honest journey that brought them to parenthood — through IVF.

From the moment they realized getting pregnant wouldn’t be easy, to the hormone shots, the heartbreaks, the hope, and finally holding their second daughter — this conversation dives into the real highs and lows that so many couples go through in silence.

They talk about how IVF impacted their marriage, what it taught them about patience, communication, and showing up for each other when nothing feels certain.

This episode is for the couples still in the thick of it, the moms who fought to become moms, and anyone who’s ever had to battle for their family.

You’re not alone — and you’re stronger than you think.
