Ep 43: Surviving another year of infertility and ivf (✌️2025)

2025 came at us hard. Kayti navigated life with a newborn, Amy faced the unpredictable world of surrogacy, and together we kept running the IVF and infertility marathon. In this episode, we reflect on the lessons this year taught us — the emotional highs and lows, the moments of resilience, and the ways we’ve grown stronger and softer in equal measure.

We share practical strategies for handling infertility in the new year, from building your support system to creating tools that make the chaos more manageable. We talk about the challenges of parenthood, the emotional work of surrogacy, and the victories — big and small — that remind us why community matters. Plus, stick around for a surprise at the end of the episode you won’t see coming.

We’ll be taking a short holiday break and will be back with new episodes on January 9, 2026.
