Serving Miracles: IVF Wins with Esther Vergeer

Serving Miracles: IVF Wins with Esther Vergeer

Today we're joined by the legendary Esther Vergeer — widely regarded as one of the greatest wheelchair tennis players of all time. A seven-time Paralympic gold medalist, 48-time Grand Slam champion, and former world number one who held her title for over a decade with an astonishing 470 consecutive match wins, Esther's greatest win was her journey to parenthood.

Beyond her extraordinary career, Esther is the founder of the Esther Vergeer Foundation, empowering children with disabilities through sports, and the author of Fierce and Vulnerable. But today, she's opening up about a deeply personal journey: becoming a mother through IVF and surrogacy.

In this episode, Esther shares:
✨ What led her to pursue IVF
✨ How she began the process of finding a surrogate and agency
✨ The biggest misconceptions about surrogacy
✨ Her best advice for those just starting their IVF journey
