In this solo episode, I’m sharing a few real-life updates before diving into a topic that stopped me in my tracks. I started reading a book last week that referenced a study by Dr. Edward Wilson on the innate biological differences between men and women. Learning (or re-learning) that men produce new sperm for their entire lives, while women are born with every egg they will ever have, sent me down a deep rabbit hole - one that made me seriously reflect on my own fertility and biological timeline.
That curiosity turned into a deep dive into what our fertility actually looks like after thirty, and the data around conception after 35–37 was a genuine jaw-dropper. And that’s assuming everything else is in optimal shape: hormones, sperm health, stress levels, nutrition & overall wellness. It became very clear why so many women and couples in their 30s and 40s are facing fertility struggles, and why this conversation matters more than ever.
This episode isn’t meant to scare or pressure anyone. For me, it was about giving myself permission to sit with the facts, absorb the data, and re-evaluate what I want for our family. And once I did that, I knew I wanted to share this information with my female listeners so we can make honest, empowered, informed choices instead of relying on narratives that may not tell the full truth.
