Dopamine & Detours
Dopamine & Detours is about riding the waves of life — the highs, the lows, and all the unexpected side quests along the way. Born out of our own infertility journey, this podcast dives into raw, unfiltered conversations about what it really means to keep going when life doesn’t follow the script.
Through interviews and honest storytelling, we explore the moments that test us, surprise us, and shape us. From heartbreak to humor and everything between. Because even in the detours, there’s always a chance to find connection, resilience, and maybe even a little dopamine
