EP.32: Expecting the Unexpected - A Conversation with Heidi Murkoff

Two Guys From Hollywood

Joining the conversation this week is Heidi Murkoff, the author and creator of the What to Expect When You’re Expecting (WTEWYE) book series and major brand. WTEWYE has been on the NYT best selling list longer than any other book, and to date the series has sold over 44 million copies in over 30 languages. On this episode, Heidi discusses when and why she knew she had to write the book, and the critical moment in her life when she sent in the first proposal (hint: contractions were involved). She talks about the unexpected success of the book and the most rewarding part of it all: meeting and working with parents all around the world. WTEWYE has grown into a brand with a website, an app, a podcast, a holiday, and even a film. Heidi shares stories from the set (including multiple nipple interactions) and why she fought hard to keep the birth scenes realistic. And if you’ve ever wondered if orgasmic births are a real thing...your questions will be answered. As always, we have a guest-inspired cocktail of the week! This week enjoy the WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE NOT EXPECTING. Find the full recipe and more on @twoguysfromhollywood on Instagram, and @TGFHPodcast on Twitter and Facebook. Cheers!
