Have you ever pondered the societal pressures placed on women to have children?

It's time to break the silence and reflect on the expectations society places on women's reproductive choices. In my conversation with guest Leslie Rasmussen, we talk about women's reproductive rights, midlife empowerment, the courage to pursue our true passions and her latest book, The Stories We Cannot Tell, which is a MUST READ!

We dive deep into:

• The stigma and shame surrounding women’s fertility and reproductive issues
• Highlight the societal pressure women face to have children and the unfair blame placed on them for fertility challenges
• The reproductive rights and access to healthcare in different states
• My experience and challenges when I was pregnant with identical twins
• Leslie’s admiration for her mother’s resilience in caring for her husband despite challenges

And wait until the end to listen to Leslie’s confession about imposter syndrome and what she did or didn’t do that helped her overcome it!

So tune in to this episode and start making the most of your second or third act.
