In this episode of The Future You, host and Men’s Health and Women’s Health editorial director Richard Dorment is joined by Eboni K. Williams, Amanda Lucci, and Dr. Brooke H. Wertz for a candid conversation about fertility, reproductive choice, and what it really means to plan for the future. 

From egg freezing and IVF to the rise of solo motherhood by choice, this episode explores how advances in reproductive medicine are expanding options—while uncertainty, timing, and biology still play a powerful role. Eboni shares her personal journey from freezing her eggs at 34 to becoming a single mom by choice, offering an honest look at expectations vs. reality and the emotional complexity behind the process. 

With expert insight from Dr. Wertz and real-world perspective from Amanda, the conversation breaks down what’s changing in fertility science, what remains unpredictable, and how people can make informed decisions about their reproductive health—on their own terms.

• How age impacts egg quality, IVF outcomes, and long-term planning 
• What egg freezing can and cannot guarantee
