## Resource

In this deeply personal episode, Maeve sits down with Zach to share the full story behind their journey to becoming parents. What started as hope quickly turned into a long, emotional road through IVF—filled with setbacks, uncertainty, and moments that tested them in ways they never expected. Maeve opens up about the physical and emotional realities of fertility treatments, from hormone injections and procedures to navigating endometriosis, thyroid issues, and the pressure of time. Together, they talk honestly about what it takes to keep going when nothing feels guaranteed—and why advocating for yourself matters more than ever. This is a conversation about resilience, partnership, and the unseen side of building a family. For anyone who’s been through it—or is in it right now—you’re not alone.
