The vulnerable content in this podcast is insightful, educational, and, above all, relatable. I love the dynamic between Tara and Todd - it gives married couples going through these trials hope for a strong relationship no matter the outcome. I would listen to anything these two recorded!

Thank you for sharing your story! Gives me hope and prepares me for the start of my infertility journey I am just starting. Your researching and desperation is very relatable. Thanks for your vulnerability.

So glad I found this podcast. It’s funny, real, and so so relatable. Tara in particular is so relatable. Would love to have her as a friend! Thank you both for sharing your story and being vulnerable. Really enjoyed following your journey!

There’s great information here but honestly Todd is sometimes kind of mean to Tara. Their dynamic obviously works for them but it can be tough to listen to. Also the name change conversation had some misogyny on display. Why should Tara change her name and why wouldn’t changing Todd’s name be equally valid?

I've been binge-listening to your podcast for the past two days and I'm almost caught up on season 2! Your heart-wrenching journey through IVF and surrogacy has resonated with me deeply. While my own IVF journey has been shorter than I expected so far, and I'm currently waiting to try my first transfer, listening to you and Todd has been so meaningful. Like Tara, I love to research everything, and your podcast has helped me put names to emotions I've felt, which has been very healing. There were so many moments where I saw myself in your story, especially the funny parts—like boxing up household cleaning products or looking at Todd having a drink with quiet anxiety. I’ve had similar moments with my husband, and Todd’s perspective gave me insight into what my husband must be going through. I've laughed and cried throughout your podcast. While I loved The Egg Whisperer and Fertility Docs Uncensored for the doctor’s perspectives, it’s so exciting to find a podcast that shares the full journey from a patient’s perspective. Your openness has made me feel seen and understood, and knowing you both faced so many challenges gives me hope for my own journey. Thank you for sharing your story so vulnerably—it's been a lifeline for me.

I look forward to every episode! I am a first time GC and am so excited to see how your second journey unfolds. I hope Georgie gets a baby sibling soon! Fingers crossed for no more bumps. You’ve done an amazing job advocating for and educating about surrogacy by sharing your story. Thank you!

Listening to season 2 episode 2 and am dying laughing at Todd addressing the comment about saying “like” too much. I have never laughed or cried so hard listening to a podcast about infertility. Thank you for keeping me company on my infertility journey. Congratulations on Georgie and know you are bringing hope to a lot of people.

I noticed on the video that there are close ups of Tara when she talks, but no close ups if Todd when he contributes. I would like the focus on him, too. It brings him in to the conversation more if there was a close up of him when he contributes.

I love the dynamic between Todd and Tara, they’re easy to listen to and I feel like I’m in the room with them. I went through a long infertility journey too, and while it looked very different from Todd and Tara’s, their conversations and perspectives feel so validating. With all that said, I was really looking forward to listening to the Dr Aimee episode. I was so disappointed in the episode as it was essentially a supplement ad.

This podcast is heart wrenching, vulnerable, honest and beautiful. I never thought I would get so emotional about someone else’s infertility journey but Tara and Todd’s story changed how I think about fertility and I couldn’t be rooting for them more. Thank you both for sharing this podcast and for everything you’ve done to help women on their own fertility journeys!

This is one of my favorite podcasts! As someone who has not personally struggled with infertility but has many close friends and family members that have, I wanted to better educate myself on the topic and this podcast has done just that! It’s so informative while also being engaging by following Tara’s specific story. I also LOVE her banter with Todd, they seem like the best couple and they make each podcast so entertaining. Highly recommend!

Tara you’re a hero — thank you for doing this and stepping up to be a leader for all of us.

Here is a good review !! I love the show, you and Tara absolutely complete one another ! If I ever see you in the wild, I will ask for an autograph! All the good baby 2 jujus sent your way.

As someone who went through infertility 11 years ago, I would have loved a podcast like this. I wish the both of you luck in your next journey!

I cannot thank you both enough for opening our eyes to how beautiful (and hard) this journey could be. I never was open to surrogacy until serendipitously listening to your podcast while going through our third failed transfer. I had always said if this (IVF) doesn’t work out, we would “just adopt”. I couldn’t envision a life where surrogacy was part of our story. We are preparing for our transfer with our amazing surrogate in March. And while there is so much to be sad and fearful about I am filled with excitement and hope. PS. Todd, could you do something about the lighting 😜😝😭

As someone who has been on a loooooong infertility rollercoaster of my own (don’t you worry, the ride is still going and loopier than ever), I really appreciate Tara and Todd’s candor and casual, honest conversations. I also loved Dr. Beck coming on for a chat and hearing her perspective. Thank you both for helping me feel less alone ❤️

Such a great podcast. Thank you for sharing your story

It is easy to feel alone and isolated during infertility and Tara and Todd provide an incredibly supportive, uplifting space in this community. They share the good, the bad, the ugly, and I find myself feeling so excited for them as they “graduate to the next level”. Thank you for adding a voice to this topic!

I love this podcast. It’s so great to find a podcast that is so real about the ups and downs of fertility. I also like that Tara’s husband is on it too. It’s the only fertility podcast series I have gotten my husband to listen to. He especially related to the supplements and overhaul of all plastic in the home! I actually have responded to Instagram stories and Tara even replied to me which is amazing! I’m excited to see where the podcast goes from here. I highly recommend it. I will tell you it does end with a baby so if that is triggering for you then you might want to skip the more recent episodes

As someone who has struggled with infertility and gone through the adoption licensing process, this podcast resonates with me on so many levels. Tara and Todd get real and are unbelievably authentic — for the first time on my infertility journey, I felt truly seen. I have encouraged friends and family to listen so they can better understand why and how infertility is so traumatic. T&T: Thank you for sharing your story and inspiring others to do the same!

Tara, please stop saying ‘right, right, right.’ When Todd or one of your guests is speaking and you agree with what they’re saying, you say ‘right’ repeatedly while they’re still speaking. I can no longer listen because of this.

I walked on their shoes for couple of years, I cried and laughed with them when I heard him talking about the process. Last week’s episode made me laugh so hard when Todd realized how many “like” he says when he talks hahahaha 🤣🤣 so funny. Stop it Todd, you can do it! Good job guys, keep it up!

I have loved following Tara and Todd’s journey. Having gone through a stillbirth myself at 39 weeks, this podcast has brought so much peace and healing for me. I love how they make it light and not all heavy and sad. Makes you laugh and cry. I can’t wait to continue listening till episode 100!

Take a drink each time someone says “journey”! Spoiler alert—you’ll be dead! Love the podcast though! Thanks for talking about this topic and you can say “journey” as much as you want!!

I’m child free by choice but started listening because I have friends & clients dealing with infertility/IVF and wanted to learn more, & I was so surprised how into this podcast I’ve been! Could not wait for new episodes to drop. Tara & Todd are such good people, and that really comes through. They’re also great story tellers, not only sharing the “what” but also the thoughts, feelings, and full vulnerability of these situations that you don’t often get to hear about. It’s help me understand the experiences of people I know much better without having to ask intrusive questions or them having to relive painful memories. What you’re doing is such a service to the world, thank you for sharing!! Look forward to hearing future episodes with perspectives from those whose journey went differently, & you did such a great job of giving listeners foundational knowledge about fertility issues that will make it that much easier for future guests to share. Thanks for what you do 💛

So thankful this podcast exists. Tara and Todd are funny, smart, thoughtful…it may sound funny because of the topic, but has truly been a joy to discover this podcast as my husband and I deal with our own fertility journey.

I love this podcast. T and T have great chemistry and they’re so good at storytelling. It’s interesting to hear their story since infertility can be such a lonely endeavor. And love that Tara is helping others with infertility. They’re just such great people.

Looking forward to hearing more from you guys. Please also bring back the Tara and Johnny podcast!

I found this podcast and decided to listen out of pure curiosity, as I felt drawn to their story after reading a headline about their use of a surrogate. I have been binge listening for the past several days and I can’t get enough! Tara sounds a lot like me and I feel like I can relate to her feelings. Even though I have not struggled with fertility myself, I certainly struggled with some anxious thoughts during my pregnancy. When she talked about “the bag”, I couldn’t help but laugh because I KNOW I would have had the exact same feelings she did. I absolutely empathize with those who struggle to conceive and I have found it interesting to hear their behind-the-scenes struggle. Most celebrities are hush hush about these things and only share the good news, so the fact that they are laying it all out there is really brave and makes them way more relatable.

As someone who went through multiple miscarriages, I feel all the feels when Tara talks about the miserable heart beat scans. I hope everyone going through infertility realizes they aren’t alone when listening to this podcast

Highly recommend for partners who are on the difficult journey of infertility. There are so many moments, other than the roller coaster of hope and disappointments, that I totally related to (becoming a glass household, and loving those anesthesia naps!), and I appreciated the rawness mixed in with some humor. Really amazing to have a partner’s perspective too. Thank you for sharing your stories!

As an infertile woman who is always looking for content that I can relate to- I felt a little bamboozled by the fact that a pregnancy/baby was happening all along and we were surprised by that. It felt very “oh we struggled, but it ended with a baby!!!” I would caution that this may be triggering or difficult for some women.

I recommend this podcast to anyone I know experiencing infertility. Thank you both for taking us on your journey. This is such a terrifying, exciting, devastating, shameful, and everything in between journey. I appreciate you sharing your ups and downs. It was so relatable and nice to know that we aren’t alone.

I’m probably not in the target audience. I’m not of child-bearing age, nor did I follow this heart-pounding & breaking journey to get to motherhood. I’m just a mom. A woman willing to listen with compassion to a couple who are completely transparent about how many times and ways they tried to become parents. So maybe this was EXACTLY for me. I needed to know how it is for this couple, a case study come alive. I soon forgot it was super-successful power couple. I learned sooo much. I didn’t like waiting each week; good news, you get to binge if you lack impulse control like ahem me. May your story bless others with understanding, comfort, and hope.

So thrilled for you and Todd. I saw you on a figure skating broadcast this past weekend and you looked beyond healthy and happy! 🥲🩷

This podcast on Tara and Todd’s infertility journey is terrific and full of great information, humanity, & lots of love. Tara and Todd have great chemistry and present their journey as a true medical mystery. As a retired physician, I am well aware that this subject is not talked about enough. Kudos to Tara for being so inquisitive, intelligent, persistent, & resilient in her desire to to understand every aspect of her and Todd’s infertility journey. She is a great medical detective and I feel this podcast will help many people who struggle with infertility. As many others have said, Tara and Todd are open, honest, and full of empathy. As of today’s episode, Tara and Todd announced the birth of their beautiful daughter Georgie Winter by surrogate. Couldn’t be happier for Tara and Todd & wishing them all a future filled with great health, tons of love, and happiness! Congrats 👶🏻🎉👏🏻👏🏻 and please continue this much needed podcast.

My best friend and I have both been struggling with fertility. She found this podcast and suggested I listen. We have both been hooked and religiously listen to new episodes and discuss afterwards. Tara and Todd offer new perspectives, information, and advice all of which I find so helpful as my husband and I start to tackle year four of our own journey. This podcast even has my husband asking, “what happens next in their journey?” 😜 Give it a listen! It’s relatable, informative, and at times humorous as they tell their story.

Been a Tara fan since 1996. I just wanted to say, while I don’t know fertility struggles first hand the struggles Tara & Todd have gone through, has opened my eyes. Hopefully it opens others eyes as well. I feel like a whole new world has been opened up to me. I had no idea everything one had to go through due to infertility. Thank you for being so transparent and everyone listening should know that if you (and others) can go through this we can go through anything. Worrying & dreading a simple Pap test now seems ludicrous. Thank you!

Loving following along the journey, question is this it for the series ? Or is there more ??? Updates ?

If you are struggling with infertility and IVF or have a loved one who is, this podcast is a must listen. Thank you Tara and Todd for being so vulnerable and honest about your journey and struggles and providing some humor too! With IVF, sometimes you have to laugh not to cry. Your words are cathartic for those of us who are still trying to find our way through the questions, disappointments, and hope that infertility brings. Because of this podcast, I’ve also learned a lot more about reproductive immunology and surrogacy, which are avenues my husband and I may explore in the future.

This podcast is so heartfelt, charming, and honest. Tara and Todd are incredible and i thank them for sharing them journey with us. A must listen for anyone who is currently experiencing is has experienced pregnancy loss or fertility issues.

It’s a very open and honest discussion about their infertility journey. Infertility issues can be so complex and they don't claim to be experts they just give insight into what they have been through and tell their story. If you have been through infertility, your story may be different but you can definitely relate.

Whether you are on a fertility journey or you are not, this is such an important podcast on an issue that is not talked about enough. Told through Tara and Todd’s story, it’s engaging and enlightening. And as a woman, I was shocked that there is much surrounding fertility that I didn’t know. And though I’ve always prayed for and stood by my loved ones who have gone through fertility treatments, endo surgeries, miscarriage… I never fully understood the trauma of it until now. I know how to be a better friend and family member to those I love walking through these issues because I understand them better now. Relaying complicated information, traumatic information, through an individual story humanizes these issues so Thank you Tara and Todd for your vulnerability.

So incredible that Tara and Todd are speaking candidly about their journey. The deep love and appreciation Tara speaks about her surrogate with had me crying multiple times in episode 13. Also probably because I felt so invested by the time that last cliffhanger was revealed I was crying tears of joy. Sending all the love and positive vibes to T&T&little T!

Tara and Todd do an excellent job with this podcast. It can’t be easy to recap these memories, but they do it almost as if in real time. And they do it in a way that puts you right there with them. You feel all of their emotions, cry and laugh alongside them, and somehow feel less alone on this very lonely, tumultuous, and mysterious journey. My husband and I are no longer on the journey, but we never got our dreamed of baby, so in a way, I suppose we will always have that bit of sadness, wonder, confusion, and curiosity. This podcast not only tells an important story, but it educates and empowers you to own your health and your health outcomes. I’ve learned a lot and taken notes. Bravo!

Tara and Todd are so real and raw about their experience, making infertility seem a little less intimidating. I enjoy listening to their conversation, as it helps me navigate my own personal experience and battle against infertility. Tears well up in my eyes as they break down their journey, but I also find myself chuckling at their little jokes and banter, and their ability to laugh their way through a difficult time. Tara and Todd, thank you for airing your journey and making me feel like I’m not alone. 🤍

This podcast has been so great to listen to! My husband and I went through IVF and listening to the podcast has brought back all the memories and feelings and definitely helps you to feel validated in those feelings. Tara mentions how it’s a very isolating journey and I feel like this podcast can help those struggling on their own infertility journey feel less alone in it. Thank you, Tara and Todd, for sharing your journey!

What a blessing this podcast has been! From the biggest moments to the smallest details, Todd and Tara have shared it all despite the pain it caused them to relive it all. So grateful for all of the gaps they’re bridging in the infertility community by publicly putting their story out there! Worst club…best members!

As someone who has miscarried 2x in the past year with one of the two babies having Trisomy 18, this podcast is very helpful as we begin our IVF journey. Advocating for yourself and knowing how/when to do so is so important. This podcast gives me further information to appropriately advocate for myself, my husband, and my future family.

An honest take on the long journey that is infertility. Todd and Tara are down to earth, funny and lovable. I laugh, I cry and I can’t wait until the next episode. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story. It makes this experience less lonely.
