    EP 53 | Hope, Loss & Next Steps: Bianca Jade’s Fertility Journey

    In this episode, we sit down with Bianca Jade, a TV host and wellness personality from New York, who is courageously in the midst of her fertility journey. Bianca opens up about freezing her eggs in her late 30s, experiencing two natural pregnancies that sadly ended in miscarriage in her mid-40s, and going through one IUI and three IVF transfers, with one precious embryo still remaining. She shares what it’s like to be so open about such a personal experience with her platform, the emotional toll, and the hard truths that often go unspoken. We also talk about how, in fertility, plans so often don’t go to plan, yet you still have to find the strength to keep planning the next steps. Bianca discusses the immune protocol she’s currently on, the surprising doctor-approved step she’s added to her treatment, and how she continues to hold on to hope while exploring donor eggs. Through it all, we had a warm, fun, and truly inspiring conversation with Bianca, one that will leave you feeling seen, uplifted, and reminded of the strength it takes to keep moving forward.
