About this listen
This episode is about the weight of a last chance — and the absence that makes it heavier.
We’re down to our final embryo. Mentally preparing for a last transfer brings fear, hope, and pressure all at once. I talk about where we were and what we were doing when we found out we were pregnant, the excitement that followed, and the moment panic quietly took over.
I also open up about something I don’t talk about often — going through IVF and preparing to become a father without having a dad of my own. Losing my father a few years ago changed how this journey feels. When I found out I was going to be a dad, grief and joy collided in ways I didn’t expect.
This episode is about telling our families, realizing how real everything suddenly became, and asking the question many men don’t say out loud: Am I ready to be the dad I never got to learn from?
From a dad’s perspective, this is a conversation about IVF, men’s mental health, grief, and showing up for your partner when you’re still figuring things out yourself.
If you’re supporting someone through IVF, navigating loss, or becoming a parent without a blueprint — this episode is for you.
