Do you feel the pressure of your biological clock ticking and wonder about the expenses of freezing your eggs? This week, we’re discussing a topic that’s rarely talked about, but deeply personal, financially hefty, and emotionally loaded: egg freezing.

Our guest, Aliza Virani, knows this world intimately. After freezing her own eggs in Canada, facing sky-high costs, and a rollercoaster of emotions, she turned her personal experience into something groundbreaking: The Fertility Co-Living Retreat in Mexico City.

Aliza blends her decade-long background in luxury event planning (think Prada, Michael Kors, Harper’s Bazaar) with the real, raw, and often isolating experience of navigating fertility decisions as a woman in her 30s. Now, she creates beautiful, supportive, egg freezing retreats where women don’t just go through a procedure, they go through a transformation.
