Rosé All Day Anyways Erika Atkins & Katie Rainey

Well babes, we knew our punctuality streak couldn't last forever. Our bad. Anyway... it's the night before Eggsmas and all through Erika's house... these creatures are recording an episode with more feelings, more Amanda, and more special guest Laura Been. Laura tells us about her journey with egg freezing because, as we've learned, everyone's path to parenthood (or not!) is different. Grab your rosé and let's go! 

Oh babes, this one is all about our feelings. Egg freezing has proven to be a rollercoaster of emotions... Thank god for that emotional support human on hand! In this one, Erika talks about all she's feeling while Amanda pretends not to be in this episode. Oh and Katie isn't sick, but Rosetta has decided she's tired of not being on the pod. Grab your rosé and let's go!

What's up, babes! Well come on, we knew that punctuality streak we had going wouldn't last... so here's episode four of our special egg series, but in this episode we've got a very special guest who stayed with Erika during this journey. Say hello to Amanda, everyone! Oh and Katie is still sick in this one. Grab some rosé and let's go!

What's up, babes! We're dropping episode 3 late in the day... but still technically on time! We're back this week to find out all about Erika's first day of shots and how irresponsible it truly is of the medical community to just send people home to do these shots themselves. Oh, and Katie has strep throat. Grab some rosé and let's go!
Here's the NY Times article we mention in this episode: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/23/health/egg-freezing-age-pregnancy.html

What's up, babes! Look at us... two episodes in a row on time. We're back this week to hear all about Erika's egg-freezing orientation, Katie's confusion about the human body, and rage about the patriarchy’s impact on fertility planning. Grab some rosé and let's go!
And also... here are some things mentioned in the episode:

How egg freezing works - according to the Mayo Clinic


New York’s Fertility Coverage Mandate


We touch (or yell) specifically about the fact that vasectomies are typically covered by insurance (and $1000 or less when not) but in general women tend to spend a lot more money on their reproductive health. See: “My Uterus Costs More Than A Porsche,” Huffington Post.


We discuss how a man's age also has an impact on their fertility, but this is not well known. Here is an article from The New York Times that digs into that more: “The Risks to Babies of Older Fathers.”


Prince Harry’s new book: Spare. Not sponsored, just fans (Erika is anyways).


“We Did Yoga Today” (Just enjoy).

We're back babes! Well, at least for a little while. Erika won’t commit to an official relaunch, and Katie won’t commit to a limited run. We're here to document Erika's journey through the egg freezing process (with brief interludes about Katie's shitshow of a love life). We'll see if we can get our acts together after that. So enjoy this episode in which Katie REFUSES to stop calling Erika's eggs big and sexy. Grab some rosé and let's go!
