Welcome to The Private Parts of Wellness, where we embrace the messy, imperfect journey of life. Finding balance isn’t about perfection; it’s about showing up, making choices, and accepting the beauty and chaos along the way. No pressure, no perfection— We’ll dive into everything from sex, hormones, aging, science, and a bit of the "woo woo".
With a double board-certified family nurse practitioner and certified menopause provider.
Heads up—She curses, so this podcast may not be suitable for the office or a carpool with kids.
