Unexpecting: An interview with special guest Tara Lipinski

I'm honored to be hosting Tara Lipinski for a conversation about her fertility journey. You likely know Tara as an Olympic figure skater, winning gold in 1998. She's also been a commentator for NBC, and at 41 she and her husband Todd are now sharing the story of their journey towards parenthood.⁠
⁠
In People, Tara shared that "In the last five years, I've been under anesthesia 24 times, had four miscarriages, four D&Cs [dilation and curettage], six failed transfers, eight retrievals and was diagnosed with endometriosis with two subsequent major surgeries."⁠
⁠
While she's lived a good deal of her life in the spotlight, she is just now ready to step into sharing about this journey with others. She and her husband have started their own podcast, "Unexpecting." I know you'll be inspired by her strength, her openness, and her determination. ⁠
⁠
As she shared in People, " To get through this has really shown me how strong I am. You think as an athlete, 'Oh, I'm so strong and am able to get through anything,' and little did I know that this journey would actually teach me that I could do that. I was really put up to the test so many times where I thought, 'Oh, I have fallen down so hard I don't know how I'm going to get back up.'" ⁠
⁠
Through it all, I haven't given up," she says. "My urge to become a mother is what had gotten me through and has kept me going. I've never wanted anything more."⁠
