Dr. Jessica Zucker joins me to talk about her powerful new book Normalize It, which calls for breaking the silence around women’s mental, emotional, and physical health. We dive into the stigma that still surrounds miscarriage, reproductive choices, sexual trauma, and menopause—and how true healing starts when we’re willing to have the hard conversations.

We also explore the emotional weight so many women carry across their lives, from body image struggles to working mom guilt and perfectionism. Jessica shares her insights on aging naturally, setting boundaries with social media, and raising daughters in a culture that often pressures women to stay quiet.
