In this episode, Aimee sits down with Emily Sklar, a podcast producer and media personality, to discuss her proactive decision to freeze her eggs at age 35. After years of prioritizing her career in the Detroit, DC, and LA radio scenes, Emily opens up about her mother's influence and a professional pivot led her to claim her future by securing the possibility of motherhood on her own terms.

Emily reflects on how her professional drive often pushed the idea of family into a far-off, hypothetical future. She describes the egg-freezing process as an emotional experience that connected her current, independent life with her long-term goals.

This conversation touches on the need to normalize these discussions long before the "biological clock" begins to panic. Emily shares how she navigated the emotional and physical aspects of the process alongside her support system. Her story highlights the importance of trusting your own timing and taking intentional steps to keep your future possibilities open.

If you're navigating the balance between career ambition and the "what ifs" of future family planning, this episode offers an empowering look at taking control of your own timeline.
