41. Nonbinary parenting, fertility, and advocacy with Sophia Dhrolia
Sophia Dhrolia (she/they) and I discuss their journey into parenting, including IUI, challenges with fertility, IVF, C-sections, postpartum pre-eclampsia and so much more. From meeting their wife (on Plenty of Fish!) to their Bollywood romance, we talk about how they had kids as a queer couple. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll learn so much from this incredible human. This is an absolute must-listen and one of my all-time favourite interviews.
