Summary

I’m joined by Ali Jackson AKA Finding Mr. Height to chat all about her egg freezing experience. Ali walks us through what egg freezing is, what factors went into her decision to freeze her eggs, and what the process is like. She shares how she felt throughout the process, what side effects she experienced, whether or not it’s changed how she feels about her timeline, and how she communicates about this with potential partners.

0:35.7

Hello.

0:36.4

I'm so honored to be your three-peat guest and very,

0:40.0

very honored at the inside joke reference. I was like thinking about this five minutes ago. I'm like,

0:46.4

okay, how am I going to introduce Allie? Like, you know, this is the first time somebody has come

0:50.2

back for a third time. Then it just hit me. I was like, oh my God, repeat. Here we go. It's perfect. For those of you who do not know Allie, which, I mean, I don't know how you would not know Allie. And I don't know why you, you absolutely should know Ali. You need to know Allie Jackson, aka Finding Mr. Height. She is absolutely amazing. And, you know, somebody that I totally look up to in

1:12.1

the dating space and the podcast space. And Allie, I'm so honored to have you back here and talking

1:16.6

about this really, really important topic. Thank you for having me. I, when you posted the story

1:22.4

about like, does anybody have egg freezing stories? I hilariously was like typing into the input box on Instagram and then I was like, I have her

1:32.6

phone number. Like I should probably just text her. So then I don't end up just like, yes, perfect.

1:39.0

Yeah. So I don't end up just like one box of all of the like input things that I'm sure you get. But I'm very, very excited. We haven't done an egg freezing pod on finding Mr. Haight yet. We keep meeting to. And so I'm just like so excited to talk about this. I love it. And I love that you're here to talk about it. I mean, there were a bunch of people who reached out and thank you to everyone who reached out. I appreciate that so much. The fact that you are willing to be open and vulnerable and share your story. But I just, I know, Allie, that like, you're going to leave no stone unturned in how you tell this and, and share the things that people really need to hear.

2:20.4

one of you, DM me and asked if I knew anyone who had done this. And I honestly hadn't to my

2:26.3

knowledge. So I had to post a story about it. And then I had some of my friends even texting me being

2:30.6

like, I'll talk to this person for you. And you know, it's one of those things that I feel like people don't talk about publicly enough, which is why it's so important that we do

2:37.5

talk about it and do, you know, educate people about it. And I mean, I'm excited to get educated during this episode. And I'd say to anyone who's listening, you know, if you don't think you're planning on freezing your eggs or if you're a guy and you're like, well, I don't need to know this.
