This Thursday, April 23 🎙️

We are keeping our episode streak going for Infertility Awareness Week 🧡

A new episode of Love and Infertility featuring Justine Froelker and Chad Froelker, very dear friends of mine.

If you know Justine and Chad, you know they don't hold back on their story. They're honest and real.

In this conversation, Justine and Chad share their story navigating infertility together—what it looked like to move through grief, stay connected, and support each other in the midst of it.

It’s honest.
It’s meaningful.
And it speaks to what so many couples experience but don’t always have language for.

If you’re walking through infertility as a couple, this is a conversation worth listening to.

Infertility is often a silent struggle—but it shouldn’t have to be.

Grateful to be on KMOV St. Louis this morning with Meghan Drakas to talk about National Infertility Awareness Week đź’›

These conversations matter. When we bring infertility into the open, we help individuals and couples feel seen, understood, and less alone in what they’re carrying.

If this topic resonates with you, I’ve been sharing more this week—including a deeply personal conversation with my wife about our own journey.

You're not alone in this.

Happy Infertility Awareness Week đź’›

This week matters.

It’s a time to recognize the emotional weight so many individuals and couples carry—often quietly—through infertility and reproductive loss.

To mark this week, we’re sharing something deeply personal.

My wife, Marjorie, and I are telling our story—what infertility looked like for us, how it impacted our relationship, and what helped us stay connected through it.

This episode is vulnerable.
But it’s also practical—real things that helped us navigate this together.

If you’re walking through infertility, you’re not alone.

For Infertility Awareness Week next week, we’re sharing something deeply personal.

My wife, Marjorie, and I will be telling our story.

Our journey through infertility—what it looked like behind the scenes, how it impacted us individually and as a couple, and what helped us stay connected through it.

This episode is vulnerable.

But it’s also practical.

We’ll be sharing not just what we went through, but what we learned—what helped, what didn’t, and what couples can actually do to navigate this together.

If you’re walking through infertility, you’re not alone.

More soon.

If you’re navigating infertility with a partner, this is a conversation worth listening to.

Honored to have served as emcee for the gala at the Institute of Reproductive Grief Care’s 2026 Symposium.

Together, we raised $150,000 to support the development of a new screening tool designed to better identify mental health concerns for individuals experiencing reproductive loss. This kind of work matters — not just for research, but for the real people and couples who need to be seen, supported, and understood.

I was also grateful to be part of the “Partner’s Perspectives” panel, alongside three other men who shared their stories with honesty and courage. These conversations are so important — creating space for men’s experiences and for how partners carry this journey together.

Grateful for this community, this mission, and the opportunity to be part of work that continues to grow in both depth and impact.

Episode 3 of Love and Infertility drops Thursday, April 2 🎙️

This isn’t just insight.
It’s application. 🤝

If you’re navigating infertility as a couple, this episode is for you 💛
