Episode Details

What happens when you're successful, independent, and still feel like your biological clock is quietly ticking in the background?

Beth sits down with Ariana White, a publicist at Atlantic Records, for an honest conversation about fertility, egg freezing, anxiety, and the complicated journey toward motherhood. Ari opens up about why she chose to freeze her eggs as an empowering insurance policy, how societal pressure shaped her decisions, and how having generous fertility benefits through work gave her an opportunity many women don't have.

But this conversation goes far beyond egg freezing. Ari shares what it's like to navigate friendships when everyone seems to be moving through life at a different pace, why therapy became such an important part of her journey, and how she's built a support system that allows her to feel less alone in the uncertainty. Together, Beth and Ari unpack the pressure women face to have a perfectly timed life and challenge the idea that there is one "right" path to motherhood.

✨ UPDATE: Since this episode was recorded, Ari's story has continued to unfold. She is now a wife and a mom, making this conversation even more meaningful in hindsight. Her journey is a beautiful reminder that there is no single timeline for love, marriage, fertility, or motherhood, and that the path forward can look very different from what we once imagined.

If you've ever wondered whether you're behind, whether you should freeze your eggs, or what your future family might look like, this episode is for you. Come for the fertility conversation, stay for the reminder that you get to build a life that actually fits you.
