OBGYN Dr. Shepherd on Egg Donation, Surrogacy & What Really Makes You a Parent
Manage episode 479010387 series 3434567
What happens when your doctor becomes your fiercest advocate — and ultimately, your friend?
In this episode, I sit down with my own OB/GYN, Dr. Kimberly Shepherd — a true BADASS woman who has single handily helped so many women like me along their infertility and pregnancy journeys.
I open up publicly about choosing egg donation — a topic that still feels taboo for so many. Dr. Shepherd and I get real about what it means to build a family outside the “traditional” mold, and why love — not biology — is what defines parenthood.
We cover everything from:
🧡 Egg donation, IVF, and surrogacy
🧡 Navigating infertility as a same-sex couple or single parent
🧡 Talking to your kids about how they came to be
🧡 And yes… we even get into the "juicy" OB/GYN questions no one wants to ask (but everyone needs answers to)
Whether you’re starting your own fertility journey, supporting someone who is, or just want to understand the many incredible ways families come to be — this episode is for you!
