In this episode, we talk about one of the hardest parts of the IVF journey that most men aren’t prepared for—when things don’t go as planned.
I open up about what it felt like to face failed embryo transfers and how those moments shook me emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. As men, we’re often expected to stay strong, keep pushing, and hold it all together—but what happens when the outcome breaks you?
We’ll talk about:
-
How to process the disappointment without shutting down
-
What to say (and not say) to your partner when she’s grieving
-
Coping with guilt, anger, and the silent weight of “what now?”
-
How I personally found the strength to reset and keep moving forward
This episode is raw, real, and necessary—for any man trying to be supportive while silently navigating his own heartbreak.
If you’ve ever felt like you had to grieve in silence, or didn’t know how to show up after a setback, this one’s for you.
🎧 Tune in, take a breath, and know you’re not alone.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
