Preschool Drop-Offs, Frozen Eggs & the Water Buffalo Era

Preschool Drop-Offs, Frozen Eggs & the Water Buffalo Era20 aug56 min

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is freezing her eggs at 36—and this week, Sonia and Jess are talking about what her very public fertility-preservation journey brings up for women thinking about egg freezing, fertility after 35, reproductive timelines, the cost of egg retrieval, and what they wish they had understood about preserving fertility earlier. They also get candid about first-day-of-school separation anxiety, preschool and kindergarten transitions, motherhood, getting back to feeling like yourself, and the ongoing Lindsay Clancy case and maternal mental-health conversation.
