Joining the Fertility Sisterhood after our BRCA Diagnosis Feat. Stephanie Butnick

We are beyond excited to have Stephanie Butnick on this week’s podcast! Stephanie is the deputy editor of Tablet Magazine and a host of its weekly podcast, Unorthodox. She is also an author and has written for The Newish Jewish Encyclopedia, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post. Stephanie shared her personal family-building journey with us, which started when she first found out that her husband was a BRCA carrier. She decided to undergo IVF (during the height of the pandemic!) and discusses how she came to that decision, her multiple retrievals, the support she received along the way, what it felt like to join the sisterhood of fertility, and how she ultimately shared her journey with her podcast fans. Stephanie shared special shoutouts to RMA, JScreen, and of course the Unorthodox Podcast. Thank you for joining us, Stephanie! (We apologize for the sound glitches, but this one is worth a listen until the end!)
