When Chad Underwood and his wife decided to start a family, they never expected infertility to be part of their story — let alone his diagnosis.
After being diagnosed with azospermia (a rare male infertility condition), Chad was left navigating a world that doesn’t talk enough about male infertility — let alone how isolating it can feel.
Add in a global pandemic, the temporary closure of his yoga studio, and a whole lot of grief he wasn’t ready to process… and you’ve got one hell of a journey.
In this episode, Chad gets real about what infertility looks like from the male perspective — the shame, the loss of identity, and the wild experience of choosing a sperm donor.
Chad, your honesty is your superpower! Your story is proof that biology isn’t what makes you a dad. Showing up with your whole heart is.
This one’s for anyone who’s ever had to take a different path to their dream — and found something even more beautiful on the other side.
Watch now and share it with someone who needs to hear this.
