Talking Away The Taboo
Talking Away the Taboo is the podcast for anyone in the Jewish community struggling to have a child and seeking a place for emotional support and comfort. It is a show that will help you learn while validating your feelings and processing the hardship, and teach everyone else to be more sensitive. Each week, Dr. Aimee Baron and her guests talk away the taboo of infertility, pregnancy loss, infant loss, surrogacy, adoption, and more. We laugh, we cry, and we challenge the Jewish community to think differently about a topic that has for so long been shrouded in secrecy and shame. Join us on the wild, unpredictable, and gut-wrenching journey of creating a family.
