When love crosses borders, laws get messy.
In this episode, Richard Westoby and Julio Gaggia unpack the beautiful, chaotic, and often unfair reality of IVF and surrogacy in Europe — and why they built a new platform to fix it.
From Argentina to Amsterdam, they talk about new beginnings, legal limbo, empowering women in sports, and why community matters when the system doesn’t.
✈️ What you’ll hear:
• The wild truth about Europe’s patchwork surrogacy laws
• Why some same-sex couples still have to leave the EU to build families
• How women athletes are leading a new reproductive-rights revolution
• The launch of the new IVF Daddies website — built for stories, support & sanity
This isn’t policy talk — it’s real people, real bureaucracy, real hope.
