World Health Day (today) is kicking off a year-long campaign on maternal and newborn health titled, “Healthy beginnings, hopeful futures.” It urges governments and the health community to ramp up efforts to end preventable maternal and newborn deaths, and to prioritize women’s longer-term health and well-being.

80% of maternal deaths are preventable.

I was invited to be on my friend's podcast, Instigating Women + Friends, to discuss ectopic pregnancy and the importance of this campaign. This episode's recording is from her podcast.

An ectopic pregnancy is life-threatening and happens when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus.

Enjoy our real and honest conversation.

Thank you, ‪World Health Organization, for choosing this topic for this year's campaign.

One of my best friends, Marian, joins me to talk about a very real and fresh experience... her fear of flying. It's so real that she recently asked her ex-husband to take her place on a trip to Hawaii with her kids.

I helped Marian decide her best outcome, and we discussed it in this episode.

Reminder: You are not defined by your fears, and you are not broken because of them.

My friend, Gwen, joins me again for another episode of The Gal Matrix. She just became a licensed Psilocybin Facilitator by the Oregon Health Authority, which means:

Gwen can now care for an individual or group ingesting Psilocybin (AKA Magic Mushrooms) to improve hard-to-treat disorders, such as addiction, PTSD, sexual trauma, depression, chronic anxiety, and more.

Gwen answers all of my questions and more about what this means and the impact it has on people.
