Shownotes

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Natalie Crawford to have a conversation every woman deserves to hear sooner. We talk about fertility through a completely different lens, not as a last stop after things go wrong, but as a powerful reflection of whole body health. From the pressure to push through burnout to the confusing, often incomplete information women are given about their cycles, this episode is not about quick fixes or fear based timelines, it is about clarity, agency, and asking better questions.
