You might know today's guest, Alease the Embryologist, from social media, where she somehow manages to educate, empower and entertain while breaking down what's actually happening behind those mysterious IVF lab doors. Alease is incredibly smart and refreshingly real, and today, Ali and Alease get into ALL of it—including her own decision to freeze her eggs while happily married, because she's still on the fence about building a family, and why she chose to freeze eggs instead of embryos with her husband. Alease also takes us behind the scenes of the embryology lab, sharing a day in the life, and also what it was like to perform egg retrievals on patients and then become the last retrieval of the day herself. She also answers some of her patients—and your—most burning questions: What exactly is a mosaic embryo? What happens in the lab that we never get to see? And should you actually be genetically testing your embryos?IG: alease_the_embryologistEPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.Stay tuned for Petri Dish Princess, book #4, coming this fall!EXTEND FERTILITYExtend Fertility is a leading fertility clinic helping people take control of their reproductive futures through egg freezing, embryo freezing, IVF, and more.

Best-selling fantasy author, Gabrielle Wanek, brings us SONGS OF ASH AND DAWN - BOOK TWO, the second installment of a ten-book, female lead-driven fantasy fiction series. Her novel, Songs of Ash and Dawn - Book One debuted as #1 in Fantasy Series on Barnes and Noble and #1 in Urban Fantasy new releases on Amazon. A writer with a love for sharp-edged stories, complex characters, and mythologies that create new worlds, her series SONGS OF ASH AND DAWN, blends modern-day Midwest life with ancient power in an urban fantasy setting. Gabrielle started writing when she was 14 and draws inspiration from real-world folklore and family stories. She was previously a video game designer, which honed her craft of story and multi-layered narratives. SONGS OF ASH AND DAWN - BOOK TWO continues the adventures of heroines Aidan and Cora, while introducing key villains like Elizabeth, and continues to investigate the shadows – a group of nefarious beings who may be pulling all the strings. In this second book SONGS OF ASH AND DAWN, something dark continues to plague Cora, Aidan, and the rest of the population. Shadow creatures are casting dark magic no one understands, leaving ash where people once stood, and growing bolder with every passing day. But who's behind it all? And how will main characters Cora and Aidan overcome? As a demigod shifter awakening to the power within her and a witch learning to control a volatile power source, Cora and Aidan respectively, are pulled deeper into a hidden world of supernatural threats, mythical creatures, and ancient forces who will stop at nothing to claim or destroy what they carry. New alliances are forged. Old truths are shattered. And the deeper they go, the clearer it becomes—this is only the beginning.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Together, she and Ali discuss the power of storytelling, the importance of representation, and why sharing our experiences can make others feel less alone.For more, go to www.storyofus.loveIG: @thestoryofkateryanEPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.

A tiny dog sprinting toward freeway traffic should have been a tragedy, but it becomes the beginning of a story that changes everything. We sit down with author Heidi C. Heisel to hear how she rescued Gizmo, brought him home, and slowly realized this little dog was about to become her muse, her travel buddy, and the center of a children's book series that families actually want to read together. If you love dog rescue stories, heartfelt family storytelling, and children's books with meaning, you'll feel this one in your chest. We talk about how the Gizmo Goes books are built: rhyming picture books told from Gizmo's point of view, illustrated by Heidi's grandson Rivers, and finished with real photos from real adventures. That format lets Heidi blend fun with substance, weaving in life lessons about kindness, discipline, mindset, and self-acceptance alongside travel, geography, and history from places like Yellowstone, Ireland, and Germany. It's a refreshing take on educational kids' books that still feels light and playful. You'll also hear the behind-the-scenes journey from self-publishing to Scholastic, the family's move into audiobooks with a narrator who brings the pages to life, and how new tools like AI can support creativity without replacing it. The conversation takes a tender turn as Heidi shares Gizmo's passing in 2024 and the “meant to be” adoption that helped her keep Gizmo's legacy alive through a new pup named TikTok. If this story moved you, subscribe so you don't miss what's next, share the episode with a fellow dog lover, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.

With soccer on everyone's mind right now, this felt like the perfect time to bring back one of our most unforgettable episodes.This week on Infertile AF, we're re-sharing Ali's powerful conversation with soccer legend Carli Lloyd. Carli is a former pro soccer star, two-time World Cup champion, two-time Olympic gold medalist, and one of the fiercest competitors to ever play the game. And in this episode — which originally aired two years ago — she opens up about something far more personal: her long and difficult infertility journey.Carli shares what happened when she and her husband, Brian — her high school sweetheart — started trying to grow their family after her retirement and quickly realized it wasn't going to be simple. She talks about spending years focused on her career, why she didn't want to have kids while she was still playing professionally, and what it was like to learn, at 39, that getting pregnant was going to be much harder than she expected.Ali and Carli get into the IVF process, from being told IVF was their best option to going through egg retrievals, a failed first transfer, the emotional toll of it all, and the mental break they needed before trying again. Carli also shares what it felt like to finally get the news she was pregnant — and why this experience challenged her in ways even elite sports never had.If you missed this one the first time around — or if you're ready for a listen again — it's a good one.EPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.

Ever wonder what happens after you flush the toilet or wash something down the drain? In this episode of the Build America podcast, host Scott Jennings sits down with Brad Musick from Wastewater Solutions (WSI) to uncover the fascinating, unseen world of wastewater treatment. With over 40 years of experience, Brad shares his journey from the Navy to becoming a leading expert in the field. Together, they dive deep into the sophisticated blend of biology, physics, and massive infrastructure required to clean highly polluted water before it safely returns to the environment. From the Navy to Wastewater: Brad discusses his transition from military service to working at a local wastewater plant while balancing college and a starting family. The Magic of Biology: Discover how billions of bacteria are farmed to eat dissolved pollutants and transform dirty water into crystal clear effluent. Advanced Technology: Learn about the cutting edge roles of Ultraviolet (UV) treatment and Membrane Bioreactors in modern facilities. Class A vs. Class B Sludge: An explanation of how solids are treated, reduced, and recycled for beneficial agricultural use. The Unseen Infrastructure: A look at the incredible scale and financial investment buried right beneath our cities. The 5 Stages of Treatment: Preliminary (headworks and screening), Primary (clarifiers and gravity settling), Secondary (biological active sludge), Tertiary (advanced membrane filtration), and Disinfection (UV light execution). Microbe Environments: How operators manage Aerobic, Anoxic, and Anaerobic environments to maximize bacterial efficiency. Operations Insight: The critical roles of Return Activated Sludge (RAS) and Waste Activated Sludge (WAS) in maintaining plant balance. Through this conversation, it becomes clear that wastewater operators are the unsung heroes safeguarding public health and our natural water bodies every single day.

Today's guest is Danielle Melfi, the CEO of RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association. Danielle brings such a unique perspective because she's not only leading the nation's largest infertility advocacy organization—she's also been a fertility patient herself. In this episode, she opens up about her own egg-freezing journey and how that experience continues to shape the way she advocates for millions of people navigating family building today.Ali and Danielle talk about what RESOLVE is working on right now, why fertility treatment is still financially out of reach for so many people, and the real work being done to expand insurance coverage and improve access across the country. They also get into what's happening in workplaces, why fertility benefits matter more than ever, and how employers can better support people going through treatment. Danielle shares practical ways every single one of us can become advocates—whether you're in treatment now, you're building your family another way, or you simply want to help make fertility care more accessible for the next generation.

Movie hacking tropes are pure fiction. Learn why the actual cyber security methods look nothing like your favorite thriller.Hollywood loves a specific image of a hacker: a lone genius in a hoodie smashing keys to bypass firewalls in seconds. This visual shorthand is designed to keep audiences entertained, but it completely ignores the tedious, technical reality of computer science. Real digital threats rarely involve dramatic interfaces or high-speed typing battles, yet these movie hacking myths persist because they translate easily to the screen.We break down the gap between cinematic storytelling and genuine cyber security operations. By examining how movies prioritize pace over tech accuracy, you gain a clearer view of how systems are actually compromised. While the film industry focuses on tension, the truth involves complex, long-term strategies that look significantly less exciting than what you see in action films.CHAPTERS00:00 Why This One Is Different02:27 Fourteen Companies.

Today's episode is a really special one because Ali is sitting down with three of her favorite people in the world: Helen, Aaron, and Blake—the real-life family behind her “Work of ART” children's book, Beautiful Bird.If you've read the book, then you already know a little bit about Jack Bird, the incredible boy at the center of the story. And today, you're going to hear the real origin story. This is a conversation about love, friendship, family building, and creating a family that looks different than what many of us grew up seeing—but is every bit as beautiful. Helen always knew she wanted to be a mom, and as a solo mom by choice, she embarked on a journey to build her family with the help of her dear friend Aaron. At the time, Aaron was building a life with his partner, Blake, and together, the three of them created a beautiful, intentional village around Jack from the very beginning.Ali, Helen, Blake and Aaron talk about fertility treatments, donor conception, LGBTQ+ family building, and what it means to redefine family in a way that puts love, honesty, and a child's well-being first. They also talk about one of the most difficult chapters of their journey: Jack's unexpected 33-day stay in the NICU after he was born, and how that experience shaped all of them as parents and as a family. Most of all, this is a story about showing up for one another. It's about friendship becoming family, about creating your own blueprint, and about the many different ways people can build a loving home.Snag a copy of Beautiful Bird for just $15 here: https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksEPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.

On this episode, we're talking about something that affects millions of fertility patients—but that almost nobody talks about until the bill shows up: reproductive tissue storage.If you have embryos, eggs, or sperm in storage, you know the drill. Every year, another invoice arrives. Maybe it's $600. Maybe it's $800. Maybe it's over $1,000. Most people just pay it because they assume that's the cost. But what if it isn't? Ali's guest today is Charlie Boyer, CEO and Co-Founder of Generations CryoVault, and he's on a mission to shake up an industry that he believes has gotten way too comfortable charging fertility patients more and more for storage. Charlie's background is actually in financial services and cord blood storage, but after taking a closer look at reproductive tissue storage, he started asking some uncomfortable questions: Why are prices so high? Why don't patients know they have options? And why are so many clinics owned by private equity firms without patients even realizing it? In this conversation, Ali and Charlie talk about transparency, private equity, patient choice, and Generation CryoVault's new Pricing Promise, which aims to dramatically lower the cost of long-term embryo, egg, and sperm storage. They also discuss whoownsyourcare.org, how to find out who actually stores your tissue, and what questions every fertility patient should be asking their clinic. Whether you have embryos in storage right now, you're considering fertility treatment, or you're just curious about where all those fertility dollars are going, this is a fascinating conversation about an often-overlooked part of the family-building journey.For more info, go to https://gencryo.com/IG: @generationscryovaultEPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.
