Ep. 186: In today’s solo episode, I’m catching you up on everything—because, wow, there’s a lot going on. I’m in the final stretch before my embryo transfer and feeling all the things: dizzy, overwhelmed, and emotional AF. I open up about IVF side effects, the pressure of social media speculation, and why I’m stepping away from Instagram after the transfer. I also share stories from a secret (and very wild) wedding weekend in Mexico, staying sober through it all, and my ongoing horse girl era. Plus, a mini Q&A on IVF, wellness, and mindset.
