  • Ignore the haters. I love the cover art!

    I’m so glad I wasn’t alone in this fertility journey.

    Everything in the podcast was accurate and comforting to hear. I forgive Dr. Vasquez and I hope all of you get your rainbow babies.

  • Other than the ads

    I was struck by how the podcast participants and host talk about the human beings being created. It felt like listening to a podcast about a gadget from Amazon.

    Thank goodness I was born before anyone thought to call me “genetic material.” From day one I was a baby.

    I have a cousin who had severe spinal bifida. These people would’ve tossed her away because she wasn’t a sufficiently “high grade.”

  • Good content but…

    The cover picture is so inappropriate for this subject and I’m trying to understand why it was chosen.

  • Too political

    Take the politics out and agendizing. The whining and melodramatic tone diminishes the value and quality of the podcast. So tired of women’s wilingness to be a victim rather than a strong resilient human.
