The Fawcett Report

Bridget Gordinier’s story isn’t easy—but it’s one we all need to hear. In this episode of The Fawcett Report, I talk with Bridget, a birth mother from the closed era of adoption who has lived in silence for far too long. Her experience of being forced to place her child without dignity, respect, or any real choice is heartbreaking—and unfortunately, not rare. We met 17 years ago through HelpUsAdop...

Jackie Cohen is the definition of doing life on your own terms — and in this episode, we talk about all of it: motherhood, entrepreneurship, infertility, adoption, and building a life you love. Jackie is a single mom by choice, a jewelry entrepreneur, and a woman who turned “someday” into now. She shares what it really felt like to start the adoption process at 40, how she kept showing up even whe...

This one is extra special. I’m sitting down with my friend Natalie Morales (yes, that Natalie Morales) award-winning journalist, CBS News correspondent, 48 Hours contributor, and one of the most genuine people I know. We go way back, all the way to when helpusadopt.org was a kitchen-table dream, and Natalie was the first person to take a chance on telling our story. Today, we’re turning the tables...

In this episode of The Fawcett Report, I sit down with my friend Ashleigh Bergman — mom, entrepreneur, and the creative mind behind Milestones by AB. We talk about what it really takes to build a career you love, not the perfect, filtered version you see online, but the real, messy, figure-it-out-as-you-go kind of journey. Ashleigh shares how she went from working the floors at Fred Segal to becom...

This week’s episode of the Fawcett Report Podcast is all about fashion, motherhood, reinvention—and everything in between. My longtime friend and guest, Meeghan Mullin, joins me for a no-filter conversation about what happens when you take a leap, what it’s like to grieve while showing up online, and why getting dressed can be a powerful act of self-expression. We talk about denim addictions, Chan...

In this raw and deeply personal episode, I sit down with my friend Dr. Jaime Knopman—reproductive endocrinologist and fierce truth-teller in the world of infertility and IVF. We talk about the pain of failed cycles, the grief no one prepares you for, and how too many people exit fertility treatment with nothing but heartbreak and empty arms. I share my own story—five rounds of IVF, three miscarria...

I didn’t know one coffee meeting would change the course of my life—but it did. In this episode, I sat down with my longtime friend and powerhouse strategist Jack Maged, the man who looked me in the eye nearly two decades ago and asked, “What are you waiting for?” That question lit a fire that brought helpusadopt.org out my head and into reality.  We talk about what it really means to get unstuck,...

Welcome to The Fawcett Report. I’m Becky Fawcett — mom by adoption, infertility warrior, advocate, and a woman who stopped trying to be perfect a long time ago. In this first episode, I’m sharing the story that changed everything: my years of struggling with infertility, the heartbreak of miscarriage, five rounds of IVF, and the fear that came with choosing adoption. I open up about the silence, t...
