Customer Reviews
Broadly fascinating
The way the host tells her story while weaving in information and interviews is very compelling. As a straight women not thinking about having a child any time soon, this isn’t a topic I’d think to learn more about, but i’ve found the whole podcast incredibly interesting.
Great listen!
I love listening to this- such a great show and I can’t wait for season two!!
Compelling, deep and delightful
With appropriate doses of humor, wit, intelligence and pathos, Katie and Allison open a window into their journey as they endeavor to create a pregnancy. The candor with which they share their ups and downs is refreshing. This podcast will be helpful to others going through anything similar. Well done !
