    Encore: What No One Tells You About Fertility, Genetics & Creating Your Family

    In this powerful encore episode, we sit down with Lila Dayani, a genetic counselor and founder of Genevieve Health, and Stephanie Levich, founder of Family Match Consulting, to break down the often misunderstood world of fertility, genetics, IVF, and surrogacy. From the emotional reality of infertility to the science behind genetic testing, this conversation sheds light on the paths so many families take—but few openly discuss. Stephanie shares how she helps intended parents navigate surrogacy with confidence, turning fear into clarity during one of life’s most vulnerable journeys. As she says, “it’s really frickin scary… you’re envisioning a stranger carrying your baby” — but with the right guidance, that fear transforms into trust. Lila dives into the importance of proactive genetic testing—before pregnancy—and how having the right information can be life-changing (and even life-saving). MJ opens up about her own deeply personal fertility journey, reminding us that there is no shame in how you build your family—only strength, resilience, and love.
