But that's not what they told me.

They said, "This is a geriatric pregnancy."

If you've followed Whitney for any length of time, you know she's been one of the most disarmingly honest voices out there on the stuff we talk about on the show.

She was talking about freezing her eggs before it was a mainstream conversation.

Whitney has been completely open about body image and an eating disorder she struggled with for years, and recently she's been hilarious and unbelievably candid about getting pregnant at 40, being told she was a geriatric pregnancy, and going through postpartum depression after having her son, Henry.

She takes things that are usually whispered about behind closed doors and says them out loud, on stage, and with a microphone.

Now what podcast? So what what inspired you to this?

So sort of the same thing that inspired the Advanced Maternal Age podcast.

This is something for years I've been getting questions on from family, from friends, from not friends, from like people I went to like grammar school with that just send me a message like, hey, I just found out I'm pregnant.

Like, what should I do? And all sorts of variations of that.
