About this listen
As part of our Pride Month celebration, we’re honored to welcome Richard Westoby and Julio Gaggia — better known as the IVF Daddies and hosts of the popular podcast by the same name.
In this episode, they share their personal family-building stories — from Richard's surrogacy journey over a decade ago with his then-partner, to Julio’s experience becoming a parent through step-parenting. Together, they model a beautiful and honest version of gay fatherhood that embraces advocacy, growth, and breaking traditional norms.
🎧 You'll hear:
What the IVF process looked like for gay dads a decade ago
How Julio navigated his step-parenting journey with care and love
Why they use their platform to advocate for women’s rights and broader family equity
Their advice for anyone building a family in a way that defies expectations
These two dads are proof that love and family come in many forms — and that being true to your path matters most.
