#17: Voice notes from listeners
Also, kitchen towels can be cute?! 🍊
It’s the first week of June (how?!) and everything feels like it’s happening all at once. Kayti’s getting ready to welcome her baby girl soon—third trimester is in full swing—and Amy is continuing to move forward in her surrogacy journey. She’s back on estrogen (again 😅), and we get into why in this week’s episode.
We also did something special on the pod this week: we featured your voice notes. Think of those long, rambling voice memos you send your best friend—except it’s people from around the world sharing their real, raw, beautiful, messy IVF and infertility stories. It’s emotional, it’s honest, and it reminded us (again) just how strong this community is.
We’re constantly blown away by the humor, resilience, and heart you all bring. Yes, we joke around and laugh at how brutal this process can be, but honestly? Most of the time we’re just deeply moved by how supportive everyone is towards one another. This community really is something special.
Also, fun fact: this week was National Egg Day—so go ahead and treat yourself to a little brunch. Celebrate those eggs in whatever way feels right. 🍳✨
Life’s still a lot—work is wild, the podcast is a full-time job on top of everything else, and somehow it’s already June. But even with the chaos, we’re holding onto hope, laughter, and maybe a little hormonal delusion. And if you’re doing the same? You’re doing great. Truly.
Sending you sunshine and whatever small joy you can grab this weekend.
xo,
Amy & Kayti 💛

Whether you're deep in the IVF snack era, emotionally baking at 10 p.m., or just trying to keep your kitchen looking like a functioning adult lives there—these towels get it. Plus, they come in a million (okay, not literally a million) prints that actually feel like you. Not your mom’s dish towel. Not your partner’s weird college hand-me-down. Yours. Hot tip: once you use one, you’ll want to replace every crunchy old towel in your drawer. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.
A favorite short story collection for your upcoming vacation.
Speaking of vacay, this is truly the best skincare product we keep in our bag during summer.
