**Ep. 184: **In this solo Q&A, I’m giving you all the IVF updates—what’s working, what’s frustrating, and the little rituals I never expected to care about (yes, Arnold is involved). I’ll share the one wellness rule I swore I’d never follow, why I’m suddenly rethinking caffeine and ice water, and how I’m handling the emotional side of this process. Plus, we need to talk about baby names—because I think I’ve decided, but now I’m second-guessing everything. Let’s chat!
