Podcast Overview

A podcast about the elephant in the room - women's health being constantly overlooked, understudied, or not discussed. My goal is to change that - to amplify the voices of women (inclusively) through this podcast and to help people and parents gain more reliable and evidence-based information about their own health and well-being, as well as their children's. Topics: family health, parenting, women's health (inclusive), LGBTQ+, reproductive and/or sexual health, hot topic health issues, children's safety and development
