Tara Lipinski: Unexpecting takes listeners through the Olympic figure skating champions’ tumultuous, on-going, five-year quest to become a mother. Her journey began in 2018, and since then, the normally open and public athlete-turned-broadcaster has kept this often-devastating roller-coaster ride a secret. Until now. Most people have heard of in vitro fertilization (IVF), but not the often-cruel existence it forces upon its patients when complications arise. Listeners will be shocked at the vulnerability and honesty of the conversations, and the hunt for some sort of acceptable reason for Tara’s excruciatingly painful struggle to build a family will continually drive the story forward. Unexpecting will tackle uncomfortable and taboo subjects and take on the complicated issues surrounding IVF and infertility with sincerity and humor. Tara certainly didn’t predict she would be thrust into this world. But as the cliché goes, expect the unexpected.

Bingeable 5 stars

Fellow IVFer here, multiple rounds over many years and I relate soooo much to this show. I think I have listened to about 90% of the IVF podcasts out there (because even after it’s successful, I still carry the trauma and find other peoples experience so fascinating) and this is up there with the best. Great production very professional, so raw sometimes, these two are so genuine and they have been through it that’s for sure. If you’re looking for your next binge and you love the IVF genre with people telling their experience this is 100% for you.
