The Cost of Love – Episode 6: Talia Chai on Egg Freezing, Timing & Autonomy

In Episode 6 of The Cost of Love, Haley McGee speaks with nutritionist, entrepreneur, and content creator Talia Chai about the emotional and financial realities of egg freezing.
This episode is a candid, compassionate conversation about time, choice, and pressure. Talia shares her personal journey through the process—why she did it, how it affected her relationship to love, and the unspoken costs (emotional, financial, social) that come with taking control of your reproductive future.
From a production standpoint, we approached this episode with care. The subject matter is sensitive and deeply personal, so we let the story unfold naturally—supporting it with a warm, unobtrusive edit that honoured Talia’s voice and Haley’s gentle questioning.
This isn’t just an episode about fertility—it’s about autonomy, dating on a timeline, and the psychological weight of reproductive decision-making in a world that often expects women to “just see what happens.”
