| 6/26/26 |  Known Donors, IVF & One Very Special Embryo | When Calypso and her wife Nat decided to start their family, they never imagined the twists and turns ahead. From navigating the UK's fertility system and searching for a known donor to traveling internationally for IVF, their journey was filled with unexpected setbacks, difficult decisions, and more than a few emotional rollercoasters.In this episode, Calypso shares how one embryo became one pregnancy, the health challenges that changed their plans, and the lessons they learned about resilience, trust, and queer family building along the way.It's a hopeful, honest conversation about what it takes to create a family—and why sometimes the path that unfolds isn't the one you originally planned.🏳️🌈 Key TakeawaysFamily building rarely goes according to plan—but that doesn't mean it won't work out.Queer people often rely on community, shared stories, and online creators as our version of "the birds and the bees."Fertility journeys can uncover important health information that impacts far more than family building.Choosing a donor is deeply personal, and there is no one right way to do it.Known donors, anonymous donors, and everything in between can be beautiful paths to parenthood.IVF involves far more waiting, uncertainty, and emotional ups and downs than most people realize.Sometimes the hardest part of family building is adapting when the original plan changes.Being in a queer relationship can create opportunities for flexibility and choice that don't always exist in heterosexual fertility journeys.One embryo really can be enough.Sharing our stories helps the next family feel a little less alone.🏳️🌈 About the guest(s)Calypso Barnum-Bobb is a queer creator, storyteller, and founder of Mother Calypso, a platform documenting her and her wife Nat's journey to parenthood. Through honest and heartfelt content, she shares the realities of queer family building, fertility treatment, donor conception, and the emotional highs and lows that come with creating a family.Based in London, Calypso is also the co-founder of People Like Us Retreats, which creates transformative retreat experiences for queer women, trans, and non-binary people around the world. Her work centers on visibility, community, and helping LGBTQIA+ people feel less alone in their journeys.🏳️🌈 Thanks to our sponsorsCalifornia Cryobank Use code QUEERFAM26 for a free level 3 subscription to their donor catalogue!🏳️🌈 Resources Mentionedhttps://www.instagram.com/mothercalypso/https://www.wearepeoplelikeus.com/https://www.instagram.com/peoplelikeusretreats/https://www.youtube.com/@mothercalypso🏳️🌈 Interested in advertising?

| 6/15/26 |  Raising Donor-Conceived Kids With Honesty and Pride | In Part 2 of the conversation with donor conception expert, author, therapist, and podcaster Lisa Schuman, Jaimie flips the roles and asks the questions, diving deep into donor conception, queer family building, and the emotional realities of parenting in donor-conceived families.Drawing from decades of experience in reproductive medicine, Lisa shares what research reveals about communication openness, why honesty with donor-conceived children matters so deeply, and how LGBTQ+ families have helped shape the conversation around intentional parenting.The conversation explores internalized homophobia, non-biological parenting, genetics, identity, and the fears many queer parents quietly carry. It is an affirming and thoughtful discussion about trust, openness, and the many valid ways families are created.🏳️🌈 Key TakeawaysWhy communication openness matters more than donor opennessThe importance of talking to donor-conceived children early and oftenHow queer families helped shape donor conception researchInternalized homophobia and the pressure queer parents put on themselvesWhy there is no “right” way to build a familyThe emotional differences between queer and non-queer family building journeysHow intentionality impacts LGBTQ+ parentingWhy honesty builds trust in donor-conceived families🏳️🌈 About the guest(s)Lisa Schuman is a therapist, author, adoption and donor conception expert, and the founder of the Center for Family Building.

| 2/16/26 |  Come Out. Make Art. Repeat. | Coming Out Later in Life + Raising a Trans Teen | Jaimie sits down with Hilde Festerling—queer mom, children’s writer, and the creator of the all-ages “barnyard gothic” audio drama podcast The Goat American Novel. Hilde shares the story of coming out later in life, navigating an amicable divorce, and building a creative partnership with her girlfriend. The heart of the episode is how Hilde’s family used storytelling as a literal lifeline: writing and producing a full podcast with her kids (and extended family!) became a sacred space through adolescence, transition, and big family change—while also creating queer representation that can still feel accessible for kids in conservative environments.🏳️🌈 Key TakeawaysCreative projects can be relationship glue. Hilde describes the podcast as a refuge—an art space where family conflict didn’t enter, even during hard parenting seasons.Kids can be your best collaborators. Hilde’s children didn’t just listen—they became the “writer’s room,” tracking plot threads, character arcs, and story logic.Queer joy + safety can coexist in kids’ media. Hilde talks about balancing being proudly out with creating art that can still reach kids living in conservative homes where “queer” content is policed.Representation isn’t always loud. Sometimes queerness that unfolds slowly (and isn’t “on the cover”) is exactly what helps certain kids find themselves safely.Family can stay family after divorce. Hilde emphasizes an amicable separation and a “split but still connected” family model that includes her ex as family.🏳️🌈 About the guest(s) Hilde Festering is a children’s writer and storyteller, and the creator of the all-ages “barnyard gothic” podcast The Goat American Novel. Built with an ensemble of family voice actors—including her kids, siblings, ex-husband, girlfriend, and more—the project became both an epic storytelling experiment and a creative family tradition that supported connection through major transitions.🏳️🌈 Thanks to our sponsorsBe Parent Surrogacy Be Parent oversees the creation of family through surrogacy and IVF, from the very beginning, extending support even well after birth.

| 2/9/26 |  Seven Kids, One Lesbian, and a Graduation Gift of Sperm | Lex Beach is a gay mom of seven kids (ages 8–23), and her LGBTQ family-building story truly covers the waterfront: donor sperm, IUIs, donor sibling connections, parenting through divorce, blended same sex family life, known-donor attempts, miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy, and ultimately IVF.Lex knew she wanted to be a mom from the jump—and at 22, she got pregnant (the gay way) right after college… with sperm her parents literally bought as a graduation gift. From there, the story only gets bigger: twins, more pregnancies, co-parenting across households, a queer Brady Bunch era, and hard-earned reflections on what helps queer relationships survive the parenting years.Also: Jaimie forgets to hit record (again), records with a sick kid at home (again), and we all learn why favorite animals are somehow always in donor profiles… but braces aren’t.🏳️🌈 Key TakeawaysLex’s “elevator pitch”: 7 kids, ages 8–23, “made in all sorts of lesbian ways”Coming out at 15 and never being “in the closet”The grief of not being able to “mix genes” with a partnerGetting pregnant at 22 (with twins!) right after collegeChoosing a donor in the “primitive sperm bank era” (no adult photos, no audio, limited info)Donor selection logic: “No economics majors” + vote-by-friends methodThe reality of IUI timing with frozen sperm + why monitoring/trigger shots can matterSelling leftover vials… then scrambling to get one vial back for a partner pregnancyMiscarriage + ectopic pregnancy + emergency surgery and the emotional falloutIVF in Massachusetts and how coverage can change the equationBlending a family: “queer Brady Bunch… without Alice”Lex’s take on lesbian divorce rates, division of labor, identity as “mom,” and protecting the relationship during parenting🏳️🌈 Thanks to our sponsorsBe Parent Surrogacy Be Parent oversees the creation of family through surrogacy and IVF, from the very beginning, extending support even well after birth.

| 2/2/26 |  BONUS EPISODE: Love, Take Two: A Very Special Announcement (with Jose Rolón / @nycgaydad) | We were supposed to be dark this week… but instead, we popped in with a very special bonus episode. In this short, unscripted, slightly chaotic conversation, Jaimie is joined by longtime friend and collaborator Jose Rolón (aka @nycgaydad) to officially announce their brand-new podcast:💥 Love, Take Two 💥This episode, recorded without a producer, without an editor, and without a microphone (sorry in advance), gives listeners a behind-the-scenes look at how Love, Take Two came to life — from messy recording moments and last-minute decisions to big creative leaps, studio learning curves, and the joy of building something new together.If you’ve ever wondered what happens when two podcast hosts try to record an announcement without supervision… this is it.💖 About Love, Take TwoLove, Take Two is a conversation-driven podcast about second acts, fresh starts, and the unexpected turns that lead us exactly where we’re meant to be.From breakups to breakthroughs.From setbacks to comebacks.From “this didn’t go how I planned” to “this is better than I imagined.”There’s a comma in the title on purpose — Love, take two — like a love letter from your present self to your past self, reminding you that it gets better.🏳️🌈 Key TakeawaysWhy Love, Take Two exists — and why nowBuilding a podcast in studio (and learning as we go)Why we decided to just do the thing instead of waiting for “perfect”Scrapping episodes, re-recording intros, and trusting the processThe creative magic (and danger 😅) of two hosts who work the same wayWhy second acts aren’t failures — they’re evolutions• How this show is a breath of fresh air in heavy times🏳️🌈 Guests Featured in Season One of Love, Take TwoSeason One is stacked with artists, creatives, and cultural icons who’ve lived their own “take two” moments, including:Dominique Jackson Dana goldergLena Hall Drew Droege Jeremy CrittendonJesus Martinez Jonathan GregSophie B hawkinsAlexis BittarMorena BaccarinLamar Dawson …and more.💬 Final NoteThis episode is messy. It’s heartfelt. It’s very on-brand for two people building something new in real time. If you’ve ever questioned whether it’s “too late” to start over — this show (and this bonus ep) is for you.Love,Take Two 💖🎧 Loved this episode?
