The Emotional Landscape of Egg Freezing with Beth Galotta

Carolina Sotomayor Episode 198

What if everything you thought you knew about your fertility timeline… was wrong?

So many women are quietly wrestling with uncertainty about their reproductive future—stuck between societal pressure, biological realities, and unanswered questions.

You might be feeling the pressure of your ticking biological clock or wondering if freezing your eggs is something you should have done, could do now, or even want to do at all. The problem is, most of us weren’t given the facts early enough to make empowered choices—until now.

In this episode, I’m joined by therapist and podcaster Beth from Quiet the Clock for a deeply honest conversation about egg freezing, the emotional weight of fertility decisions, and what it means to take back agency over your timeline. Whether you're partnered, solo, unsure, or all of the above—this episode is packed with raw truth, wisdom, and practical insight.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • What it actually looks like to freeze your eggs—emotionally, physically, and financially
  • Why the “35 is your deadline” narrative is outdated and harmful
  • How to handle the uncertainty of fertility decisions with more grace and less panic
  • The biggest gaps in fertility education (and what you deserve to know right now)

This isn’t just about egg freezing—it’s about choice, informed consent, and shifting the power back into your hands. Let’s quiet the clock, together.
