In this episode, we dive into what it really means to be there for your partner during the highs, lows, and everything in between on the IVF journey.
Let’s be real—sometimes we want to fix things, but IVF isn’t something we can “solve.” What we can do is show up with presence, patience, and emotional strength. I’ll share what I’ve learned (the hard way) about supporting my wife through injections, appointments, mood swings, and heartbreak—without losing myself in the process.
We’ll break down:
-
What emotional support actually looks like during IVF
-
How to listen without trying to fix
-
Why your calm presence matters more than perfect words
-
Mistakes I made early on—and how I learned to do better
-
How showing up emotionally builds real trust and connection
Whether you’re just starting IVF or deep in the process, this episode will help you become a better partner and teammate. You don’t have to get it perfect—you just have to show up.
🎧 Hit play and take another step toward becoming the partner she needs—and the man you’re proud to be.

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.
