Fertility is a such an interesting topic THAT NO ONE SEEMS TO TALK ABOUT ENOUGH. This podcast aims to change that. Maybe you grew up thinking you’d get pregnant if someone breathed on you the wrong way…until you started trying to actually get pregnant. Or maybe you felt guilty that you weren’t thrilled when you got pregnant and you and your partner weren’t trying at all. Or maybe you felt the world tip over when you miscarried. IVF, surrogacy, egg donors, IUIs, loss, endometriosis…it’s a lot. Hosted by IVF mom Ashlyne Blue, Confessions of a Slow Cooker is a place for anyone in search of radical candor, stories (the good and the harrowing), answers, tips, and resources to navigate journey to becoming a mother with the very women who lived to tell the tale.

    Episode 12: A Mother's Work with Sherri Huff
    May 19 2026

    What about the mother of the would-be, wannabe mother in all this? And what if she has two daughters (or sons for that matter) on completely different fertility journeys at the same time?

    Ashlyne talks to her own mom to talk about just that––as well as her own challenges with miscarriage and pregnancy. A mix of funny stories and difficult moments that are all too common...just maybe not discussed all that much.

    Episode 11: The Little Embryo That Could with Jennifer Wayne
    May 12 2026

    Jennifer Wayne was going to have a career in music. And she did. And then she was on TV. And then...wait 35 is considered geriatric? She needs to freeze her eggs? She can't? But wasn't getting pregnant supposed to be like the easy part?

    No, not everyone will have all of Jennifer's story. But a lot of us have run up to the wall of infertility with the same questions around age and timing and the unfortunate truth that while some may have no trouble starting a family...a lot of us do.

  • Episode 8: 8 Pregnancies, 6 Miscarriages, 1 IVF, 2 Kids with Courtney Dashe

    Episode 8: 8 Pregnancies, 6 Miscarriages, 1 IVF, 2 Kids with Courtney Dashe
    Apr 21 2026

    Nashville-based singer/songwriter Courtney Dashe never envisioned that she would spend so much time and effort forming a family...I mean, who does really? A long time = a long story, and one Courtney spared no detail on.

    This is an episode for the women who don't want the "short version" of something so important, so harrowing, so scary at times. Not to win the I-Had-It-Worse-Than-You competition that doesn't actually exist but sometimes feels like it does. Just to tell it. All of it. For someone out there who needs it.
