Summary

Today we interviewed Mallory Weggemann & Jay Snyder! Mallory and Jay have navigated their own IVF journey and have shared every step with the world as they believe vulnerability is what makes us most connectable. It is their hope that they have played a role in helping reduce the stigma around male infertility, raise more awareness of the conversation of infertility and parenthood as it relates to professional female athletes, and change the perception of what parenthood and the journey looks like for women living with disabilities. It is with great joy that they embark on their greatest journey yet as they prepare to welcome their first child in March of 2023. Mallory has broken eight world records as a paralympic swimmer and by the 2012 Paralympic Games, she held fifteen world records and thirty-four American records. It was an honor to speak with these two and we hope you enjoy this episode!
