  • Best honest podcast about Fertility!

    Ali is like your best girlfriend that you tell all of your secrets to. She has a way of making her podcast guests feel comfortable that they open up and share details and topics that aren’t normally talked about. As a listener, I’m always learning something new. I’m appreciative to have these stories available to me.
