In this episode, I sit down with Alyssa Atkins, the founder and CEO of Lilia, the most enjoyable egg freezing experience in the world. Lilia is is on a mission to bring reproductive freedom to every woman by making egg freezing affordable, accessible, and convenient. Alyssa raised Lilia's first round of funding in 5 weeks with no product, deck, or website, and went on to gain backing from Y Combinator, Silicon Valley's most prominent investor.

Alyssa and I, like many women, were sick of doing the dating math.

“If I want to grow my career, scale my business, achieve XX by XX date… I need to find my husband by XX, get married by XX, have baby #1 by XX.”

As women, questions around fertility are some of our most common sources of stress. Everybody usually means well, but asking a woman when she’s planning to have kids, when she’s not fully ready is frustrating to hear, to say the least.

One of my favorite Alyssa quotes from the episode:

“Society is still very prescriptive in the sense that we are expected to: go to school, graduate, get a job, get married, and then have kids. That’s just not how it works anymore. Women are more discerning in their partners, we’re focusing on our careers, and taking more time… and our biology has not caught up.”

The incredible thing is… there’s a solution to this pain and frustration that buys an immense feeling of FREEDOM and peace of mind.

It’s called egg freezing, or embryo freezing, and I’m currently in the process of doing both.

Alyssa and I get into the nitty gritty details of how both processes work, the costs, and how egg freezing can benefit entrepreneurial, goal-oriented women, by giving them TIME to do the things they want.
