Of all of Mollys Sims' many accomplishments, including being on the cover of Sports Illustrated, she is most proud of her role as mother to her 3 children, a dream that she always had and wished for more than anything else in life. In this episode, Molly shares with Dr. Ghadir the many lessons she has learned over the years, lessons in parenthood, family planning, her career, and her relationship with her husband Scott Stuber. She recounts her parenthood journey, that started more than 10 years ago in Dr. Ghadir's office, when she took the leap and made her first appointment to discuss fertility preservation options (egg-freezing vs. embryo-freezing). She details how 10 years ago, it was taboo to talk about any kind of fertility treatments and no one shared their experiences, also how she felt pressure to find a partner to freeze embryos with. She also details how once she finally froze embryos, it took so much pressure off of her, as it felt like an insurance policy for having kids later in life. Both Molly and Dr. Ghadir explain how much has changed in the world of fertility since they first met, as far technology and social awareness, and how amazing it is that people are willing to share their experiences and stories around infertility. Molly details why she is so happy she took the steps she did to plan for parenthood, as she believes, like everything in life, success starts with a plan, and how there are many paths to becoming a parent, especially with help from the technology available now and the information that is out there. Her motherhood journey wasn't an easy one, but she always believed in doing everything and anything she had to, in order to achieve her dream of one day becoming a mother. Molly's ability to balance her busy life that includes her husband, her 3 children, and an extensive career, is admirable, and she always makes sure to leave time for having fun. She shares tips on how one can juggle everything without taking away from life's many pleasures. She also details how she believes that surrounding herself with great friends and family over the years took her through the many stages of her life, the highs and the lows.

On this episode of The Fertile Life, Dr. Ghadir interviews and speaks with one of his favorite patients, Virginia Thornton (@babyginny), entrepreneur, owner and founder of the wellness studio Get Well Soon, and mother to baby Nigel. Virginia and Dr. Ghadir both detail their personal journeys to parenthood, what the IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization) process entails for couples, and what they both learned along the way. Virginia explains that it was actually her husband, musical artist Pusha T (@kingpush), that urged her to see Dr. Ghadir, and how when she finally decided to see a fertility doctor, it took so much of the stress out of planning for her first baby. Virginia also shares what was important for her when choosing a fertility specialist and clinic, and why she is so happy that she froze embryos for the future to use if and when she decides to try for another child. Dr. Ghadir and Virginia explain the many various treatment options available for intended parents, in addition to IVF. Dr. Ghadir details him and his wife's own path to becoming parents to their four children, how it wasn't always an easy one, and why IVF was the right choice for their family.  Dr. Ghadir and Virgina both share the same belief that the fertility process is much easier when your partner or spouse is on the same page as you. Virginia also discusses the wellness sanctuary she founded, Get Well Soon, and what an integral role self care rituals like meditation, sound baths, and sauna helped play in getting her through fertility treatments, motherhood, and helping her anxiety. @babyginny @getwellsoonxo Getwellsoonxo.com --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thefertilelife/message
