#55: The Fertility Convo That's Long Overdue ft. Margaret Wang

Most of us only start thinking about fertility when something suddenly feels urgent; a doctor’s appointment, a breakup, a birthday, or the quiet realisation that time may not feel as endless as we once thought. In this episode, I sit down with Margaret Wang, CEO of GenPrime and Rhea Fertility, for a deeply honest conversation about fertility, womanhood, pressure, timing, and learning to listen to our bodies before life forces us to.

Together, we talk about:

why fertility shouldn’t just be a “women’s issue”

the invisible emotional load many women quietly carry

⁠egg freezing, aging, and the pressure surrounding motherhood and timelines

the questions many of us don’t even know to ask about our own bodies

and why so many women still feel alone in this conversation

Margaret also opens up personally about navigating egg freezing, heartbreak, societal expectations, and the tension between building a career, building a company, and hoping to one day build a family. Whether fertility feels far away, deeply present, or painfully emotional for you right now, this conversation is an invitation to get curious, ask earlier questions, and feel a little less alone.
