If you haven't had a chance to listen to my original episode on our experience traveling with our daughter,...

Welcome to today's episode of What We Tell Our Daughters. This week we are traveling from Madrid to Munich and then to Thailand! In these times of travel, we still do our best to maintain our healthy lifestyle practices, but we also let ourselves live and truly enjoy each place we go - including all the food and sweets!

While I believe there is value in IVF and...

Today, I'm here to share some insights I had around our daughter's behavior while we traveling for the last 6 weeks. We are not a fully nomadic family anymore (we have a home-base) but we still travel quite a lot and we try to really immerse ourselves in the experience of each place we go. What I thought was going to be a challenging trip, ended up being one of the smoothest and loveliest times we...

Our bodies are so much more than the vessels that carry us through life. They are a living, breathing ecosystem.

In this very first episode of What We Tell Our Daughters, I dive into the idea that hormones run the show of your body. They impact our experience of life and our perception of what it is like to be US. I will go to bat for the idea that most women don't truly even know what it feels like to be them because their hormones have been masked or out of balance for so long. I'll also share how this sho...
