***Trigger Warning: In this episode we talk about miscarriage, surgery, and fertility issues.***

Over the past few months I’ve received countless requests to talk more about fertility and have a fertility-focused episode. I don’t know if it’s something in the air right now, the fact that I’m now (vomit) in my late twenties, or what but it seems like I can’t go anywhere with other women lately without talking about fertility. Freezing eggs, AMH levels, IUI procedures... it’s enough to make your head spin. Not to mention the tremendous amount of grey area that surrounds the topic of our reproductive systems. 

It seems like most people know someone who had trouble getting pregnant. And luckily women are more open about those struggles than ever, but we still have a long way to come. Which is why I begged Dylan’s cousin - AKA Holistic Nutritionist and blogger - Lindsay Surowitz (@weeknightbite) to share her story with us. 

Now before you get the wrong idea, I want to emphasize that this episode is NOT:

• A step-by-step guide on how to get pregnant 
• A conversation about a holistic approach to pregnancy 
• A doctor using medical terms and words we don’t understand 

INSTEAD, this episode is one woman’s *very* raw, *very* personal fertility story. 

Because Lindsay is a best friend of mine, I watched her fertility journey up close. Lindsay encountered so many obstacles, set backs, and disappointments in her pursuit to become a mom and was so generous with her entire story in our conversation. We talked about what it really feels like to have trouble conceiving, the ins and outs of the hormone injections, and heartbreaks that can happen along the way. She’s a warrior and is remarkably strong and real about what she went through, and I know you or someone you love will find so much comfort in her honesty.
