Egg freezing is becoming more popular, and with good reason. Women are delaying starting a family, and the process of egg freezing can seem like a really smart insurance plan for your future fertility. But what does it actually involve? How do you prepare for it? And how does it help your chances of falling pregnant ‘naturally’?
Sydney-based brand consultant, podcaster, and Substack author Kate Lancaster shares the reality of freezing her own eggs at the age 33—and how she feels about her fertility now, one year on from finalising the process.

We speak to nutritionist, dietitian, body image advocate and author Lyndi Cohen about how to mentally embrace the many (!) and often weird (!!) changes your body undertakes during pregnancy - and also the very real need to properly fuel it. Being a mum of two herself, Lyndi tells it how it is, and isn’t afraid to make fun of herself in the process.
