What happens when your own surrogacy journey inspires an entirely new career?

Marla Neufeld, Esq., joins us to share how welcoming her twin boys through gestational surrogacy led her to found a legal practice dedicated to assisted reproduction and family building.

We also dig into the serious stuff: rapidly changing Florida surrogacy laws, complicated parentage cases, media narratives, international intended parents, and why keeping your reproductive attorney on speed dial may be more important than ever.

It’s a conversation about parenthood, advocacy, evolving laws—and just how many lawyers one surrogacy journey may occasionally require.

IVF can involve at least 150 individual steps—and far too many of them are left for the patient to manage alone.

This week, we’re joined by Nikki Munir, co-founder of Embraya, an IVF tracking app inspired by her own nearly four-year fertility journey.

Nikki opens up about learning she carries the gene for Duchenne muscular dystrophy, pursuing IVF with PGT-M testing, experiencing unsuccessful transfers and pregnancy loss, receiving an Asherman syndrome diagnosis, and seriously considering gestational surrogacy.

She also shares how a 1 a.m. panic over whether she had enough medication helped inspire an app that tracks doses, medication inventory, appointments, and cycle-specific education—because IVF is already hard enough without counting syringes in the middle of the night.

Join us for an honest conversation about IVF, surrogacy, unexpected detours, and turning one of life’s most difficult experiences into a tool that helps others feel more supported.
