#17: Beach pants and summer solstice
it's the vibe
Happy summer solstice! The weather in LA is warming up and summer is officially making her grand entrance.
On our end, big news: Kayti has officially reached full term in her pregnancy, so the countdown to meeting her baby girl is on. Meanwhile, Amy just completed her 30 days of estrogen and will be sharing a hilarious (and slightly cringe-worthy) story about a recent procedure to open her cervix on next week’s episode. Trust us, it’s one you won’t want to miss.
A few housekeeping notes: Kayti will be going on maternity leave next week, so Amy will be steering the podcast through the summer after a little R&R and some travel in July. Show her love with your reviews, emails, and social shoutouts! Kayti plans to step back from social media for a bit—though, given her Virgo energy, that may be easier said than done (if you know, you know).
As always, we’re so grateful to have this incredible community alongside us. Life feels like a whirlwind right now, but your support is what keeps us grounded. Here’s to sunshine, growth, and stories that make us laugh, cry, and keep going.
Catch you next week!
With love,
Amy & Kayti 💛
This week, we delved into one of our favorite topics—travel and living abroad—with special guest Ali Ramos. Ali, a longtime friend of Kayti’s from high school, and her husband live in Costa Rica, where they underwent IVF—in Spanish, no less! Now well into her second trimester, Ali shares candid insights on IVF abroad, pregnancy after IVF, her long battle with chronic endometriosis, and PGT-M testing. It’s a rich, wide-ranging conversation that’s especially valuable if you’re considering IVF in another country.

These pants from Left On Friday are pure summer energy. Think lazy beach days, road trips with friends, or long-haul flights to Europe (a girl can dream!). Plus, they’re totally forgiving of any post-egg retrieval bloat. We’ll take one in every color, please.
