Hosted by Jamie Massey, Over 40 Fabulous and Pregnant creates a vital and candid space for a specific chapter of life that often goes unspoken. This isn't a clinical guide, but a companion for the emotional and physical journey of motherhood after forty. Every other Monday, you'll hear real, unfiltered stories from women navigating the complexities of trying to conceive, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. The conversations are raw-there's laughter, tears, and the kind of honest oversharing that only happens among those who truly understand each other's struggles, including the profound grief of loss. Tuning in means connecting with a community that dismantles the myth that this path is impossible or should be walked alone. You’ll find relatable experiences that educate and validate your own, whether you're seeking empowerment during fertility treatments or reassurance during a pregnancy that defies societal timelines. The podcast moves beyond simple inspiration to deliver genuine solidarity, making it a trusted resource for anyone redefining what family building looks like later in life. It’s about finding your footing with humor and heart, supported by stories that prove you are far from alone.
