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.

Best fertility podcast

Tara and Todd are very relatable, heartfelt, and added in the perfect amount of humour to this podcast. A very enjoyable listen and super helpful to those struggling with infertility. Highly recommend for anyone going through it or knows someone who is.

Raw and honest

Thank you for sharing your painful and traumatic journey and being so honest and open. Infertility is the most heartbreaking experience.

Thank you T&T

Thank you both for your openness and shining a light on this important issue. So many struggle with infertility yet it is one of the most isolating experiences anyone can go through.
This will help us feel less alone and help to lessen the stigma associated.
You are both beautiful souls. Thank you!!
