About this episode

Louise and Ryan discuss their fertility journey and the challenges they face while navigating emotions and support.

This week, Louise and Ryan head straight from egg retrieval into the podcast chairs, so there’s no better place to start than a real-time update on their fertility journey. What follows is a raw and incredibly honest conversation about how they’re both actually feeling through the process. Louise opens up about feeling unsupported at times, while Ryan shares how difficult he’s finding it to be the support system she needs while navigating his own emotions too. We then move onto some of the hot topics in the news this week, from the controversies surrounding the Met Gala to the shocking statistic that 1 in 4 children are reportedly not potty trained by the time they start school… which leads to a bigger conversation about where the responsibility really lies. And we end on a very sweet listener question from a dad wondering which public bathroom is most appropriate to take his young daughter into. 🗓 New episodes every Wednesday 📩 We’ve got a NEW email!
