As we head into 2026, more women than ever are asking themselves a deeply personal and surprisingly common question: “Should I freeze my eggs?” In today’s solo episode, Jacqueline breaks down everything you need to know about egg freezing right now — including age-related success rates, how many eggs you actually need, what the process looks like, and what the emotional side of delayed motherhood really feels like.

Whether you’re considering freezing your eggs for peace of mind, navigating an uncertain timeline, or simply curious about what egg freezing in 2026 can offer, this episode is your warm, big-sister style guide to understanding your options.

Jacqueline also shares why this topic matters now more than ever and sets up an upcoming two-part story you won’t want to miss. Next week, she’s re-airing a powerful conversation with a woman who froze her eggs a few years ago — and in early January, you’ll hear her updated journey through donor sperm, IVF, and the arrival of her miracle baby boy.
