Hi, I’m Doree.
I bring people together through my podcasts, my writing, and my social media around topics that are sometimes hard to talk about — like getting older and infertility and how to take care of yourself when the world is falling apart. I also like to write and talk about culture, women’s issues, parenting, media, and celebrity. My new book, Thanks for Waiting, is about how I came to terms with, and even came to enjoy, being a late bloomer. It’s out now from Ballantine — order it now.

“While Shafrir’s droll sarcasm is perfectly calibrated, it’s her vulnerability and writing about more difficult experiences—such as her struggle with infertility—that will keep readers rapt. This coming-of-age story raises the bar.”
