  • Thumbnail graphic is offensive!

    Tried to listen but only got through a couple of episodes. I got too irritated by the graphic/ thumbnail for this podcast. It is SO OFFENSIVE. I’m sure there were lots of men involved in putting it together. Anyone take the time to get a review of that graphic from the women in room or better yet from all the women in the podcast? Those women have already been victimized and you guys are just piling on. Gross! This is SUPPOSED to be a podcast supporting women and couples who have been terribly a... more

  • Can’t even take this seriously

    Infertility is not to be minimized but girls who haven’t even developed their frontal cortex and the state of TN being willing to take them on this path tells you everything you need to know about how this state cares about women’s health - which is not at all - just baby factories. It’s ridiculously sad.
