This week, Corey and Nakia share their IVF story, opening up about the realities of infertility, IVF, and their journey to parenthood through surrogacy. From the early decisions that led them to IVF, to the decision to move forward with surrogacy, they reminisce with Dr. D about their 10 year journey to creating their family. Corey and Nakia reflect on the moments that challenged them most, the support that carried them through, and how their experience reshaped their understanding of family and parenthood.

The holidays can be joyful—but if you're going through IVF, they can also bring tough questions, unsolicited advice, and emotional conversations with family. In this episode, we're talking about how to navigate IVF conversations during the holidays in a way that protects your mental health and honors your boundaries.

We'll cover how to decide what (if anything) you want to share about your IVF journey, ways to respond to invasive family questions, and scripts you can use when family gatherings feel overwhelming.

If you're dealing with infertility, IVF, or pregnancy pressure during the holidays, you're not alone—and you don't owe anyone your story. We hope this provides someone with reassurance and empowerment to you this holiday season!
