Today, Ali sits down with a true powerhouse in the infertility community: Rebecca Flick, Chief External Affairs Officer at RESOLVE, who has spent the past 20 years advocating for fertility patients nationwide. Rebecca opens up about her own deeply personal infertility journey, including her diagnosis of premature ovarian failure (and how that language has evolved), discovering she carries the MTHFR gene (and what that really means), and navigating IVF. She shares her experience of transferring three embryos, welcoming her son (now a teenager), and conceiving her daughter years later—without ART. Rebecca also reflects on the power of advocacy, how RESOLVE has grown, and the ways the infertility landscape has transformed over the past two decades.For more, go to www.resolve.orgFollow on IG: @resolve TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: TTC; ART; IVF; MTHFR gene; premature ovarian failure; embryo transfer; advocacy EPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli'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, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!

What happens when a stay-at-home mom in Indiana gets so fired up about injustice that she starts a movement that changes America? Shannon Watts, founder of Mom's Demand Action and author of the instant New York Times bestseller "Fired Up," knows exactly what it feels like to go from folding laundry to fighting the most powerful lobby in the country. Her story isn't just about gun safety—it's about every woman who's ever been told she's not the right person to create change. How do you know when it's time to stop letting someone else handle it and start taking action yourself?Shannon's journey from corporate communications executive to one of America's most powerful activists didn't happen overnight, and it sure as hell wasn't easy. In this raw, honest conversation, she breaks down exactly what it means to live "on fire"—and why the blowback you'll face for stepping into your power is not only predictable but completely worth it. We're diving deep into the messy middle of creating change, the double bind of "fucksgiving" that women navigate, and how to sustain yourself when fighting for what matters feels impossible.What You'll Learn in This Episode:• The bias towards action vs. letting someone else do it - and how to recognize when it's your turn to step up • Why blowback is predictable and none of it is personal - plus practical strategies for handling criticism when you're creating change • The "fire formula" for identifying your abilities, values, and desires to live authentically • How to distinguish between "false fires" (purpose, happiness, busyness) and what actually fulfills you • Why taking no pay for 11 years was Shannon's biggest mistake - and the martyrdom trap that keeps women small • The double bind of "fucksgiving" - being expected to give all the fucks about everything while giving zero fucks about criticism • How to build sustainable activism that doesn't burn you out (hint: it's about winning and finding your people) • The bridge-building strategies for having political conversations across divides without compromising your valuesShannon's story proves that you don't need permission, credentials, or the "right" background to create massive change. But here's what hit me hardest: her revelation that women's biggest fear isn't failure—it's that pursuing what they want will make them bad mothers. What would change in your life if you stopped believing that taking up space meant taking something away from others? Ready to discover what's limiting you and what's calling you?

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === After two back-to-back Ten-Plus Live intensives here in San Antonio, the guys meeting women in-field have determined the exact same thing I have: everyone is out there socializing again. Our 'social muscles' have been toned back up into shape, people have rediscovered self-awareness and best of all...women are actually bolder and more fun in certain ways than EVER before. Even nightlife as we know it has been subtly transformed, signaling that the 'new normal' is actually more about optimism than being stuck in the mud. Even women's attitudes toward life, the media and especially US as men have undergone a welcome and exciting transformation. Get all the details in this brief episode...and stop listening to ANY 'keyboard jockey' who hasn't gone out there IRL to meet women lately. Check out the brand new Substack at https://mountaintoppodcast.com/substack === HELP US SEND THE MESSAGE TO GREAT MEN EVERYWHERE === Snippets From The Summit are all about completely original ideas for success with women that also happen to be extemely effective...and actionable.

It's World IVF Day! Today, Ali is talking to her friend and former Infertile AF guest, Emily Patel, about The Hopeful Families Collection, Emily's new initiative to bring books into public and school libraries to celebrate the many ways families are created, including assisted reproductive technology (ART), adoption, surrogacy, and donor conception, while helping all children learn that every family is built with love and hope. Emily talks about why she created this movement, some of the books that will be included (including Ali's books, Work of ART and Beautiful Bird!) and how listeners can help support the mission. "The goal is to bring awareness," Emily says. "Even with our family, we're a bi-racial couple with donor-conceived children from two different donors, which is not a very traditional story. "It's wanting to allow those families that are unique to be represented in books, and making sure that other families can educate their children from a very early age that it's ok that you have friends who have families that look different from you, that came together differently than you. We can celebrate our differences, because it's truly just love that creates a family." For more, go to www.hopefulmamafoundation.orgFollow on IG: @hopefulmamafoundationTOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: TTC; ART; IVF; IUI; surrogacy; embryo adoption; adoption; single mom by choice; single parent by choice; donor conception EPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli'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, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!

Co-Host Peter Moore (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/petermoore) There is much talk about the so-called Pandemic of Loneliness going on nowadays in post-modern culture. My first-time guest Peter Moore is the former editor of Men's Health Magazine and currently a columnist, writer and illustrator. Once his kids became teenagers doing their own thing and having left the Magazine, one day Peter woke up and realized he didn't have any close friends anymore, and it sucked. So what did he do about it? Well, in a world where more men have fewer close friends than ever before, Peter knew he needed a strategy? What was it? And what is it we actually need from male friendships nowadays? What do men build friendships around nowadays? And what about combatting loneliness in The Digital Age? What should we do if we have fallen into the trap of replacing IRL relationships with social media and porn? And what about AI? We already know that's no real substitute for human interaction...right? Above and beyond social skills, what really bonds people together to form close friendships? What are the key differences between how men and women build relationships, and how can we make best use of those dynamics? What do you do if you don't drink, given so many guys go out and have a beer together? How can we get our of our comfort/familiarity zone if that's what's holding us back from meeting people? And hey...why is it that all nutjob serial killers and the like always tend to be "loners"? Remember, all of the full episodes are now available on VIDEO now as well.

Earlier this month, Angela's Shadow won two awards – for best screenwriting and best production design – at the 2025 Leo Awards. It was the latest in a string of successes for the film, which won the Panorama Audience Award at the 2024 Vancouver International Film Festival, kicks off a theatrical run in Toronto this weekend, and is acclaimed Cree filmmaker Dr. Jules Arita Koostachin's highly anticipated follow-up to the similarly lauded Broken Angel. In Angela's Shadow, Angela (played by Sera-Lys McArthur) and Henry (Matthew Kevin Anderson), young 1930s socialites with a baby on the way, embark on a short trip north to visit Angela's beloved childhood nanny, Mary (Renae Morriseau). When Angela is harassed by a menacing shadow figure, Mary moves to bless and protect her and her unborn child with illegal Cree ceremonies and medicine. As the truth about her ancestry and the spectral figure's identity unfold, Angela must decide whether to delve into her newfound spiritual traditions in order to protect herself from her husband's escalating purity-obsessed racism. Angela's Shadow is the second film in a trilogy that follows three sets of Cree characters all connected to each other in some way, across three different time periods, who use their connections to their Cree spiritual traditions to combat and heal from settler colonialism. The first film – the aforementioned dramatic thriller entitled Broken Angel – won Sera-Lys the award for Best Actress at the 2022 American Indian Film Festival. In this compelling conversation with Sabrina Rani Furminger, Jules and Sera-Lys talk about healing from settler colonialism through art, working with family (three of Jules' sons and her mom all appear in the film), being pregnant IRL shortly after being pregnant onscreen, and where they're going to take us next.Episode sponsor: Directors Guild Of Canada, BC District Council

Hop aboard the Brolita Express! Find a seat between Orwell and Borges. We're stopping in Austin and London on our way to Hive, a mysterious Greek island run entirely by women, ruled by a masked queen, where only the manliest men are sometimes invited. Jack Mason (The Perfume Nationalist) and Yeerk (Bistro Californium) are on the list. And so of course is my old friend Garin Hovannisian, illusionist and author of the must-read new novel HIVE, which I urge you all to read while summer is with us. The audio in Austin in the first half is low, so please raise your volume then adjust as we cross the pond   For twice the feature length adventures, and regular smoke-break mini eps on topics of the day, subscribe to the show at patreon.com/filthyarmenian   If you joined us IRL in LA or Austin or NYC or London, it was lovely to see you.

This week Jackie is croonin' like Chris Martin, MJ is begging for some 'llatin and Holden returns! Oasis is performing together again (for now), we're traveling back 1000 years (in pop culture time, that is) because the CEO cheatin' video dropped MOMENTS after they recorded last week's "Second Helpings", but boy does the video never lose it's KICK!  Everyone agrees a Katy Perry concert is the best place to steal kisses 'cause everyone's gonna be distracted by trying to not be crushed to death by the fallin' flyin' sky bug thing she rides over the crowd in, and it's a bad time for props 'cause Beyonce almost committed her own mass murder-suicide by flying over the audience in a car that started to have that Detroit lean in the sky! Holden is called out for his rudeness, and everyone please let Lexi know what they're stuck with when she leaves, and then Holden tries to deflect by revealing LIVE (at least to them) that Ozzy Osbourne has passed, RIP Hell just got another demon. Jackie wants to talk about the Reylo fanfic birthed "The Love Hypothesis" 'cause it's bein' turned into a movie with Lili Reinhart and Tom (master)Bateman, Daisy Ridley's husband IRL. A man in NY experienced a literal (Like, literal) "Final Destination" death involving an MRI machine, Katy Perry's havin' a bad time, but just remember she tried to STEAL A HOME FROM NUNS! The Orwellian state of the world has lead to the creation of Tyler, The Creator's newest album 'Don't Tap The Glass', the demise of public dancing, AND the ~secret family~, Holden channeled his inner 'Night Horse' and had 11pm pasta before he started his Goonin'!

Have you ever thought about your religious beliefs and where they came from, and how they shaped you as a person? What if the "traditional values" you grew up thinking were totally normal are actually part of a much darker system of control hiding in plain sight? Today I'm bringing you Tia Levings, New York Times bestselling author of "A Well-Trained Wife," and her story is going to blow your damn mind about religious trauma, Christian fundamentalism, and how the tradwife movement connects to patriarchal ideologies that are literally shaping our politics right now. From a mainstream Southern Baptist upbringing to the quiverfull movement, Tia's journey reveals how Christian patriarchy operates as a "cult within a cult" - your neighbors next door who looked a little conservative but were living under a completely different set of rules where abuse wasn't just normalized, it was sanctified.I've been chasing Tia down for a year and a half because her analysis of what's happening in our country today traces directly back to these core fundamental beliefs that have been patiently infiltrating mainstream America for decades. If you're wondering what the hell is going on in America, Tia's story is the key to decoding those invisible threads and figuring out how we move forward instead of backwards.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How mainstream Christianity can funnel people toward higher-control fundamentalist beliefsThe shocking reality of "Christian domestic discipline" and wife spanking in fundamentalist homesWhy the quiverfull movement aims to win the culture war through population controlHow the "fundy baby voice" is used to keep women sounding childlike and non-threateningThe hypersexualization tactics hidden behind modesty teachings in Christian patriarchyHow to recognize when political figures are using patriarchal manipulation techniquesWhy joy and happiness are actually forms of resistance against fundamentalist controlPractical ways to resist authoritarianism without burning yourself outTia's courage to tell the whole truth about Christian fundamentalism - including the secrets they don't want exposed - is exactly what we need right now to understand the forces shaping our reality.

We dive into being single in 2025, setting boundaries, and dating authentically—apps vs meeting people IRL, travel hookups, and what makes a great first date.  Then: Yo Aunteas reacts to the headline that Beyoncé's unreleased music / tour materials were allegedly stolen from choreographer Chris Grant's car in Atlanta—and why ATL smash‑and‑grabs are too common.  We celebrate RuPaul's record 10th Emmy nomination for host and unpack long‑running Drag Race production drama, favoritism, and fandom fatigue.  Ask Yo' Aunteas returns! A Communitea member asks about the viral Labubu craze; we compare notes on 90s nostalgia collections (Tamagotchi, Trolls, Pokémon, etc.) and whether collectibles are cute or a dating red flag.

Meet Keri Croft, an infertility, child loss and surrogacy advocate who went through 16 years of infertility. On today's ep, Keri tells Ali all about her family building journey, which includes having her son, and also the devastating loss of her first girl, Angel, who was missing part of her cerebellum. "It was a horrible, horrible decision to have to make, and I wouldn't wish it on anybody," Keri says of undergoing a TFMR (Termination for Medical Reasons). Keri talks about how a balanced translocation affected their fertility journey, and also how she navigated IUI and IVF. "I tried everything. And of course that takes a toll on your marriage. It was an absolute clusterfuck," she says. Keri also shares how she lost two other girls, Hope and Jade, how she and her husband decided to pursue surrogacy, and launching her workshop, Find Your Dream Surrogate. "After years of fertility treatments, loss, and heartbreak, I eventually had my daughter via a surrogate — a journey I navigated completely independently, without an agency," Keri says. "It was beautiful and brutal and eye-opening in ways I never expected. When it was all said and done, I kept thinking: Why the hell isn't there a better roadmap for this? So I built one."For more, go to www.kericroft.comFollow on IG: @thekericroftshowTOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Pregnancy; TFMR; trying to conceive; pregnancy loss; baby loss; IVF; IUI; balanced translocation; surrogacy; ART; EPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli'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, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!

What if your biggest career decisions could be guided by something deeper than spreadsheets and SWOT analyses? My guest Christina Trifero went from Silicon Valley tech executive to spiritual business coaching entrepreneur, and her journey of intuition development after 40 will challenge everything you think you know about inner authority. She literally got paid by her company to leave California (yes, really), found her dream home in Georgia by "challenging the universe," and now helps executives release control while building million-dollar businesses. In today's episode, Christina breaks down her practical approach to spirituality and entrepreneurship, sharing how she helps high-achieving women trust their gut without losing their analytical edge. We dive deep into the messy, beautiful process of major life transitions, why most spiritual influencers make her skin crawl, and how to tell the difference between intuition and just wanting something really, really badly.What You'll Learn:How to distinguish between real intuition and ego-driven desires (spoiler: it has nothing to do with urgency)The "challenging the universe" technique that landed Christina her dream job relocation packageWhy neutrality and non-attachment are the secret weapons of successful spiritual strategyHow to spot fake spiritual coaches who prey on vulnerable people seeking transformationThe three levels of surrender work that Christina uses with her executive clientsWhy your nervous system needs to be regulated before you can access clear inner authorityHow spiritual bypassing keeps you stuck in quicksand instead of real growthThe unexpected connection between feeling grief deeply and experiencing massive joyChristina's story proves that following your intuition doesn't mean throwing logic out the window—it means integrating both for decisions that actually serve your highest good. Are you ready to stop outsourcing your inner authority to everyone else's opinions and start trusting the whispers of your own wisdom?

Is it really alllll about follower count when it comes to B2B influencer marketing? It's not. It's more about who's following you, than how many.  Vin Matano, Founder of Creatorbuzz, talks about how B2B influencer marketing programs can change brands if used correctly AND strategically. From building a full-funnel strategy to choosing the right creators, it can be the tool your brand needs to scale.  Plus, what does a good creator brief actually look like? What makes LinkedIn content stand out? How do you incorporate events IRL into your strategy? Some things may surprise you.  Whether you're a Marketer at a B2B company or someone who wants to know more about B2B influencer marketing, this is the episode for you.  Follow Vin: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vinmatano/ Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

When mysterious orbs of light start appearing in photographs at haunted locations, a psychic medium claims they're messages from the dead — but paranormal investigators armed with science have a far less supernatural explanation that might burst your spiritual bubble.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: America's foremost exorcist, Theophilus Riesinger, faced off with Lucifer himself in the grueling 1928 case of a demonic possession in a rural Iowa convent.

Today, Ali is talking to Zach and Alexandra French, the founders of the nonprofit organization The Surrogacy Foundation, whose mission "isn't just to raise funds, but to propel surrogacy into the mainstream." Zach and Alexandra share their entire family building story, from how they met and got together to having their first child without Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). They talk about what happened when Alexandra found a lump in her breast, and how they navigated her cancer diagnosis and treatment. They also talk about Alexandra's double mastectomy, and how they pivoted to surrogacy after her surgery. "My doctor said if we wanted to expand our family, I could no longer carry. We would have to turn towards surrogacy--because if i carried another child, my cancer would return," Alexandra says. They talk about all of the intricacies of surrogacy, from finding a match to navigating the legal side, and share what it was like when their next baby was finally born. They also talk about creating the Surrogacy Foundation and how they've raised more than $500,000 so far to help families in need. "At The Surrogacy Foundation we don't just raise money; we help families every step of the way," they say. "Because education is essential to accessibility, we provide state of the art education based on decades of experience in an easy-to-use format."For more, go to www.thesurrogacyfoundation.orgFollow on IG: @thesurrogacyfoundation TOPICS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE: Breast cancer; chemotherapy; double mastectomy; trying to conceive; surrogacy; nonprofits; surrogacy grants; ARTEPISODE SPONSORS: BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND WORK OF ARTAli'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, “Beautiful Bird” tells the story of three parents, one incredible boy and a family built with love—and a little bit of science.Pre-orders are available now!

But did you know that when it comes to storing your reproductive tissue—including eggs, sperm, and embryos—you DO have a choice? Most clinics automatically store your tissues—or hand you off to their partner. But guess what? It doesn't have to be that way. Enter Generations CryoVault, which believes in the motto, "Your tissues. Your choice." When you choose to work with Generations CryoVault, they help you transfer your tissues securely and easily to their headquarters – a place you can trust. Take control of this part of your journey by visiting gencryo.com.

Inito is an at-home fertility monitor that tracks all four key hormones—Estrogen, LH, FSH, and PdG—on a single test strip. Instead of piecing together fragments of info, Inito offers a full, clear picture of your hormone health through a data chart and clear insights that are unique to your body and your cycle.The Inito Starter Pack is available for just $89 with the code INFERTILEAF at inito.com.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacySupport this podcast at https://redcircle.com/infertile-af/donationsOur Sponsors:* Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code INFERTILEAF for a great deal: https://happymammoth.comSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/infertile-af/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

“A Kiss Is Still a Kiss” (December 3, 1987) We're supporters of Shelley Long on this podcast, but in advocating for the Diane years of Cheers, we've overlooked the Rebecca years. As such, we're bringing Jonathan Bradley Welch back in to speak about what works well during the back half of the show. In a lot of ways, Kirstie Alley saved Cheers, but does what she became IRL affect how we should feel about her heyday? Well, it's complicated, but we'll talk you through our feelings on the subject. We have episode transcripts courtesy of Sarah Neal. Our logo was designed by Rob Wilson. This episode's art was designed by Ian O'Phelan. Sound cues for this podcast were composed by Meika Grimm.
