    Ep 40: The one where we cry a lot: canceled cycles, pregnant friends, and our holiday plans

    We’re crying, we’re laughing, and we’re surviving the holidays without losing it. Amy’s egg retrieval got canceled (spoiler: insurance companies can kick rocks), and we’re talking getting lapped by friends with pregnancy announcements, plus all the messy emotions infertility brings. We get real about feeling left behind, share how we find small joys, practice self-care, binge our favorite holiday movies, and lean on each other (and you!) to get through it. ⭐️ If the pod has helped you feel seen, please follow and rate us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

    Ep 38: Tarot, fertility & the power of intuition with actor and tarot reader Ferin Petrelli

    🎃 It’s Halloween, and the vibes are mystical. ✨ This week, Amy and Kayti welcome the enchanting Ferin Petrelli — actor, writer, intuitive, and tarot card reader — for a conversation that blends fertility talk with a touch of the magical. Ferin shares her experience with egg freezing, the deeply personal story behind why she chose to do it, and how we can use intuition, spirituality, and a dash of cosmic timing to navigate big life transitions. Then she turns the tables (and the cards!) for live tarot readings with Amy and Kayti — pulling insights that are as spooky-accurate as they are inspiring. 🃏💫 This episode will leave you reflecting, laughing, and maybe even reaching for your own deck.

    Ep 33: Navigating Genetic Complications, Fragile X, BRCA, IVF and Marken’s Story

    Amy sits down with her longtime friend Marken Greenwood Bellows to share her journey through an unexpected diagnosis of a Fragile X premutation and primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) at just 36. Together, they unpack the emotional rollercoaster of infertility and IVF, how the FMR1 gene premutation impacts fertility and risk for POI, and the reality of navigating the financial and insurance barriers so many face when pursuing treatment. They also dive into experimental options like ovarian PRP, the gaps in women’s healthcare, and why early fertility testing matters. Marken also shares about her resilience, self-advocacy and the message she wants others to hear: the sooner you have information, the more choices you have when it comes to family-building. 🔗 Resources: ⁠⁠⁠⁠About the Fragile X Premutation⁠⁠ About the Fragile X Premutation⁠⁠ and FXPOI⁠⁠ Fragile X Syndrome Genetic Testing ⁠⁠Journal of Ovarian Research Study⁠⁠ ⭐️ If the pod has helped you feel seen, please follow and rate us on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.
