149. Our Fertility Journey pt. 1 (re-release)

Marisol notes that she does not like talking about her fertility, that it feels deeply personal and that she is nervous about talking about it publicly. Three years later and the Marisol and Adam have grown to talk about fertility, infertility, making babies, IVF and the surrogate process a whole lot! Join us as we listen back on pt. 1 of our fertility series. This was the first time we put out a deeply personal episode related to growing our family and adding children into our lives.

This episode originally aired on 11/21/2019 and for those doing the math, we gave birth to Neo Luther 4/21/2021 so this was not the end of our journey for sure, but it was great insight to where we were emotionally in the process. It was the first time we had started dabbling our toes into the medical side of fertility and had started taking letrozole with our cycle.

As we have spent the last season navigating our next fertility journey it feels important to walk back in time to when we first started recording and publicly speaking about our fertility journey with Neo. It was a long road that ended in our now two year-olds life. As we take a small break in putting out new episodes (we have not stopped recording) we are navigating a new kind of fertility journey again as we move forward with a surrogate carrying our embryo from our first cycle of IVF. I hope you enjoy this step back in time.

About the Podcast

Reading Aloud
Welcome to the Reading Aloud Podcast, a place where the creative, emotional and hilarious aspects of relationship communication are explored in real-time, by a real Married couple. Marisol and Adam are a married couple living in Asheville, North Carolina. Outside of the Podcast, Marisol is an entrepreneur, who owns SolReflection, a therapeutic image consulting firm (she's a style therapist) and Adam works for Dogwood Alliance, a environmental non-profit organization. After dating, marriage, and lots of travel, the couple went on a long fertility journey. That journey lead them to IVF, a tremulous pregnancy, post partum depression and an amazing life altering miracle kid, Neo (all while recording the ups & downs). These days Marisol and Adam are raising a toddler, navigating the surrogate process to add to their family, and starting the egg retrieval/IVF process again after a miscarriage. Tune in as the couple provides you insight into how they communicate, navigate and thrive through married life, parenting, being an adult, and living in the world today.
