Episode Details

We’re talking all about donor conception and infertility advocacy on today’s podcast episode with my wonderful guest, Victoria Nino. Victoria is the creator of Expecting Anything, a blog where she candidly shares her journey through infertility, IVF and motherhood through donor eggs. She is also the founder of Infertility Unfiltered, a platform dedicated to sharing raw, honest stories about infertility without the pressure of a positive outcome.

Victoria has just published her first children’s book, Our Hearts Match, which helps parents have important conversations with their donor-conceived children and to emphasize the bond that parents share with their children outside of DNA. She is on a mission to normalize donor conception, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to have her on the show. Her work offers a message of hope, resilience, and understanding for those on their own fertility journey.

During our conversation, we talked about:

💙Why it's important to hear unfiltered narratives about infertility

💙Victoria’s fertility story, including what led her to consider donor eggs and what happened when she was ready to have a second child

💙Her inspiration for writing Our Hearts Match

💙What people should know about donor conception and third party reproduction
