Conception Convo with Claire Mauksch

Welcome to the Conception Convos: a series of recorded conversations about conception and the many roads that people take on their journeys to create their families. My goal is for people to share their stories in a raw and mostly unedited way (not just because I’m not a video editor, ha!) so that others can find solace and inspiration from their experiences, and most importantly, know that they are not alone on their fertility journeys.

Today’s Conception Convo features Claire Mauksch.

Claire is a public defender, writer, and first-time mom. She recently relocated from New York to Seattle, where she lives with her five-month-old son, Sam.

Watch or listen to Claire’s interview for:

• The emotional & clinical experience of fertility treatment with a partner who has cancer

• Her favorite coping method for the fertility journey

• The best advice she received, and has for you!

Claire is thoughtful, eloquent, and funny and her sweet baby makes a lovely cameo in this interview - enjoy!
