Description

On this Season Three Finale, Ali talks to Venus Morris Griffin, mother of seven, six of whom were conceived via artificial insemination. Venus tells Ali all about her extraordinary life, which includes a lifetime of abuse, having to use ART because of her husband's male factor infertility, and how she was ostracized by the Catholic community when they found out her children were conceived via ART. She also talks about her now ex-husband being sentenced to 45 years in prison, how she told the children they were donor conceived, becoming a super successful real estate agent, and the book she's writing that chronicles it all. (For the record, Ali thinks Reese Witherspoon should option the book and star in the mini-series of Venus' life). If you enjoy this podcast, please SUBSCRIBE, RATE AND REVIEW!

In this unfiltered podcast about infertility, Brooklyn-based journalist and mom-of-two Ali Prato, who went through secondary infertility and IVF herself, talks to women—and some men—about the messy, frustrating, painful, heartbreaking, absurd and sometimes hilarious journey to have a baby. Or in some cases, to not have a baby. Each episode tells a different story about family building, getting real about miscarriages, egg freezing, sperm and egg donation, IUIs, endometriosis, male factor infertility, adoption, surrogacy, genetic testing, single parenting by choice, LGBTQ+ fertility, living childless not by choice, depression, relationship issues, money issues, jealousy, PTSD, and so much more. Ali covers all of the outcomes in this safe, non-judgement zone: the happy endings, the soul-crushingly sad ones, and the ones still in limbo.
