I LOVED this conversation with Lindsey Keohane who is bringing such a breath of fresh air to my social media feed.

I knew I had to have her on the pod as - if you've been here a while you'll know - living and waiting at the same time is what we're about.

Lindsey has experienced three pregnancy losses and is now going through IVF with genetic testing...but this conversation really isn't about treatment, even though it is of course a part of the story.

It’s about what happens to your life when everything begins to revolve around “maybe this month.”

We talk about Lindsey's story so far; how she's managing social media and why it's so important to trust your doctor.

We also break down an Instagram post Lindsey shared that resonated with thousands of women: her decision to stop putting life on hold while trying to conceive and how she's planning to do it, including things like:

To buy clothes she enjoys now; not for pregnancy.
To plan holidays even if treatment might interrupt them.
To do things that bring joy without attaching them to fertility outcomes.

Living does not mean you don’t care, and enjoying your life does not reduce your chances.

If you feel like everything is paused…
If you feel guilty making plans…
If you’ve been measuring your life in cycles and months…

You're going to love this.
