Spermcast with Molly Hawkey

In episode 7 of the podcast I meet Molly Hawkey. 

 

Molly is an American actress and comedian. She is also the creator of the podcast Spermcast, documenting her search for a sperm donor in order to have a baby solo. 

 

In this episode we discuss: 

- An overview of Mollys own fertility journey to date 

- Why Molly started her podcast and how it has helped her

- The difficulties of dating when you want a baby

- The benefits of talking about your situation with friends and family (or in Mollys case an entire podcast population!)

- How our reality is not well represented in films

- Whether we are realistic about what we are looking for, or if it is a bit of a fantasy

- Being supported by friends and family on the trying to conceive journey

- Being happy and hopeful about the situation, whilst still dreaming about the fantasy version

- How each decision seems harder in the moment

 

and much more!

 

Molly actually has some super exciting news that she is 7 weeks pregnant following her latest fertility treatment. (This episode was recorded quite a few weeks ago, so we don't discuss this) 

You can hear about this latest news as well as her entire journey leading up to this point on Spermcast. Head over and check it out (once you've listened to this episode obviously!!) 

 

I have also been a guest on Spermcast, so if you haven't had a listen, the episode is called Molly, Mel and The Stork and I.
