Tara Lipinski: Unexpecting

By: Todd Kapostasy Tara Lipinski
  • Summary

  • Tara Lipinski: Unexpecting takes listeners through the Olympic figure skating champions’ tumultuous, on-going, five-year quest to become a mother. Her journey began in 2018, and since then, the normally open and public athlete-turned-broadcaster has kept this often-devastating roller-coaster ride a secret. Until now. Most people have heard of in vitro fertilization (IVF), but not the often-cruel existence it forces upon its patients when complications arise. Listeners will be shocked at the vulnerability and honesty of the conversations, and the hunt for some sort of acceptable reason for Tara’s excruciatingly painful struggle to build a family will continually drive the story forward. Unexpecting will tackle uncomfortable and taboo subjects and take on the complicated issues surrounding IVF and infertility with sincerity and humor. Tara certainly didn’t predict she would be thrust into this world. But as the cliché goes, expect the unexpected.

  • Tara Lipinski: Unexpecting Trailer
    Aug 19 2023

    In many ways, Unexpecting is navigating uncharted territory. While celebrities and public figures are beginning to discuss infertility and their difficult journeys to motherhood more openly, Olympic gold medalist Tara Lipinski is taking a massive step forward by baring it all – taking us through her tumultuous and heartbreaking quest to start a family in explicit detail. Her journey began in 2019, and since then, the normally open and public athlete-turned-broadcaster has kept this often-devastating roller-coaster ride a secret. Until now. Along with her co-host and husband Todd Kapostasy, Unexpecting will not only reflect upon past traumatic events and continue to seek answers to their “unexplained infertility”, but also confront the highs and lows of their current, on-going efforts to have a baby. Unexpecting will tackle uncomfortable and taboo subjects with vulnerability and humor, and take on the complicated issues surrounding IVF and infertility with candor and sincerity. Tara certainly didn’t predict she would be thrust into this world. But as the cliché goes, expect the unexpected.
