Season 3 Episode 3: All of your questions will be answered today on Bitchless Bride + Beyond! Dr. David Ryley, a reproductive endocrinologist at Boston IVF specializing in all aspects of fertility care is in the studio. I brought Dr. Ryley in to discuss not only fertility in general, but egg retrieval/freezing (and what that means exactly), getting pregnant as part of the LGBTQ community, and fertility as it relates to transgender patients and cancer patients. My goal is to help educate our audience and the new demographic on all of these fronts. Because it’s more than just about fertility, it’s about PRESERVING fertility due to physical, professional, medical and emotional circumstances. We are now given the opportunity to defer pregnancy/childbearing + family building for a time when it’s right for us, versus the evolutionary right time.
Some hot topics we cover: Not meeting the right significant other, ticking biological clock, freezing eggs for when we’re damn well ready to have babies (if ever), single mother by choice, society downplaying miscarriages, why abortion would be a “rite of passage” if men got pregnant, updated porn + 70s bush, etc….
Dr. Ryley: “I live in the world of unbelievably intended pregnancies. Family is defined as an environment that provides a source of love that any child will thrive.”
Deb: “I’m very aware of the fact that I am bleeding and there is a wand up my pussy...” See the pic of Dr. Ryley’s face when I blurted out this line…

Today on Bitchless Bride + Beyond, Debbie + Kerri “are flying by the seat of their pants”, with no podcast itinerary other than to make people laugh. They’re keeping it super lite with conversations about switching teams, pooping, the “c” word and much more! Deb might ruin your love of pancakes with a disgustingly detailed anecdote, and Kerri’s obsession with making the bed is worrisome. Don’t miss this hilarious show... it’ll get you to work safely!!
Season 3, Episode 11: Today on Bitchless Bride + Beyond, Debbie + Kerri laugh about the now infamous Peloton ad. Seriously! Poor Grace from Boston! Were you as offended as the rest of the world? What did you think about Ryan Reynolds’ spoof with the gin ad? Dig in with us on your drive to work or two mile run as we take on Peloton! Of course there were plenty of twists, turns and tangents as Deb and Kerri journey down this giant rabbit hole! So listen up brideys + beyonders, and enjoy!
Season 3 Episode 10: Accepting Your Path in Life Even if it Chose You Instead of You Choosing it!
Today’s show is all about getting to know Debbie + Kerri as they talk + laugh about how different their perceived paths are compared to what they had envisioned. You’ll definitely feel like a fly on the wall as these two get painfully + comically real about their lives, writing careers, achievements, disappointments and everything (like, everything!) in-between. As the temperature rises in the studio so does the heat of the conversation! So listen up brideys + beyonders!
Happy Thanksgiving! We have such a FAB show for you to listen to as you travel between Thanksgiving celebrations! Today, we’re talking with Certified Life + Health Coach, Melinda Keegan otherwise known as a spiritual gangster. Outside of being a total badass, physically + mentally, Melinda believes everybody is capable of living much bigger, leading their own lives and letting their unique light shine. She coaches people who decide that it is their responsibility to seek more from their relationships, health, career and communities. I mean… everyone needs a little mental push when it comes to next steps, be it planning a wedding, living healthy lifestyle, and achieving professional + personal goals! So listen up brideys + beyonders!!!
Even though we had a few technical difficulties, this show is too fantastic not to share with you! Kerri sounds a little far away, but I swear she’s right next to me (with her hand on my leg). Anyway, it’s the holiday season brideys + beyonders, so obviously, we invited Dr. Jocelyn Charnas back on to Bitchless Bride + Beyond to talk about mental health and strategies to keep your head held high during this potentially difficult time. ’Tis the season of joy, good cheer and happiness, right? Clearly, these words seem to set the exception for us; essentially dictating how we’re supposed feel, but what happens if your feelings don’t match up with the joy, the good cheer and happiness? Listen to Dr. Charnas’ splendid advice as we navigate these topics and dive into the abyss, together.
Dr. Charnas is a Ph.D., and is a licensed clinical psychologist practicing on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. She treats adults with anxiety, depression, phase-of-life and adjustment issues, and specializes in interpersonal and relationship issues.
