Tara Lipinski: Unexpecting takes listeners through the Olympic figure skating champions’ tumultuous, on-going, five-year quest to become a mother. Her journey began in 2018, and since then, the normally open and public athlete-turned-broadcaster has kept this often-devastating roller-coaster ride a secret. Until now.

The vulnerable content in this podcast is insightful, educational, and, above all, relatable. I love the dynamic between Tara and Todd - it gives married couples going through these trials hope for a strong relationship no matter the outcome. I would listen to anything these two recorded!
Thank you for sharing your story! Gives me hope and prepares me for the start of my infertility journey I am just starting. Your researching and desperation is very relatable. Thanks for your vulnerability.
So glad I found this podcast. It’s funny, real, and so so relatable. Tara in particular is so relatable. Would love to have her as a friend! Thank you both for sharing your story and being vulnerable. Really enjoyed following your journey!
There’s great information here but honestly Todd is sometimes kind of mean to Tara. Their dynamic obviously works for them but it can be tough to listen to. Also the name change conversation had some misogyny on display. Why should Tara change her name and why wouldn’t changing Todd’s name be equally valid?
I've been binge-listening to your podcast for the past two days and I'm almost caught up on season 2! Your heart-wrenching journey through IVF and surrogacy has resonated with me deeply. While my own IVF journey has been shorter than I expected so far, and I'm currently waiting to try my first transfer, listening to you and Todd has been so meaningful. Like Tara, I love to research everything, and your podcast has helped me put names to emotions I've felt, which has been very healing.
