SOBRE ESTE EPISÓDIO
When life takes you down an unconventional path and you meet a kindred soul — why not try to make a baby together?
In this episode, our host Hannah Gittos explores doing just that with her best friend, actor, writer and producer, Thomas Lyle Cottle.
This episode is a warm, humorous, raw and honest look at trying to have a baby in a platonic relationship — one built to last for life.
Please note: This episode explores IVF and fertility. There is also discussion of miscarriage, so if this theme feels triggering, you may want to pause at about the 1 hour and 5-minute mark.
It also contains references to masturbation and sexual health.
