Should I start family planning before I even know if I want to have a baby? How big of a factor does age play? At what point should I consult a fertility specialist after not conceiving a baby on my own? Will doing IVF have an impact on my career and day to day life? Are there resources to help me financially plan for my journey with IVF?
With fertility at the top of Katie’s mind, so many questions follow. To help talk things out, Katie brought on her sister Jenny, as well as Bobbie Thomas, Kristyn Hodgdon of The Fertility Tribe, Rita Hazan, and Dr. Joshua Klein of Extend fertility to talk all about the medical and personal sides of fertility.

The New Future of Plus Size Fashion

Katie Sturino is still looking for an answer to why plus size in-store expansions fail. In the first episode of this series, ‘Why is plus size fashion failing?’ Katie discovered the disconnect between data showing demand for plus sizes IRL and in-store sales numbers that don’t meet those projections. 
Katie speaks with two anonymous guests who worked at national clothing retailers that oversaw the ultimately failed launch of plus sizes nationwide, breaking down the time and effort and care that goes into an extended size launch. Even with the best of plans, these retailers still couldn’t figure out how to successfully launch plus size nationwide. In this episode we find out what went wrong. 
Special thanks to our anonymous guests for speaking with us, you know who you are!

What Goes Wrong with Plus Size Launches?

It's been 9 years since Katie Sturino began talking about fashion for women of all sizes. In many ways, a lot has changed since then. The conversation has made its way to mainstream media, advertising campaigns, and brands focused on creating a full size range have been born. 
But have we seen the peak of fashion's acceptance for larger bodies? Big retailers like Old Navy and Loft have swung and missed. Contemporary brands like Staud and ALC have quietly launched extended sizes that disappeared before getting any traction. And now Katie wants to know what’s going wrong. This is the first episode of a THREE PART SERIES exploring the past, present, and future of the plus size fashion industry. 
Special thanks to Our guests Helen Nightingale and Hitha Herzog for speaking with us. You can find Hitha Herzog at @hithaherzog on instagram and @hithaherzog on twitter, www.hithaherzog.com, and check out her book Black Market Billions on audible.

Why is plus size fashion failing?

Just a content warning, in this episode we’ll be talking in some detail about food and eating disorders, so if you’re not in the place to listen right now, totally ok! We’ll see you next time.
This week, we’re talking about food! Specifically, our relationship with it. To help answer our questions and cover this topic, I brought on Julie Duffy Dillon, MS, RDN, NCC, LDN, CEDS-S. Julie is a registered dietitian, eating disorder expert, and PCOS expert that helps people confidently tackle health concerns moving forward without shame and blame. She teaches them how to burn their diet books while bringing clarity to their relationship with food and body. Julie wants to empower everyone to grab their crown because they are King and Queen of their own castle. She has spoken at the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics Food and Nutrition Conference and was a featured dietitian for the reality show My Big Fat Fabulous Life.

She also hosts the podcasts The Period Feels and Tigress.

Some organizations working to end period poverty:
Dignity Grows - a national provider of free comprehensive hygiene essentials paired with period products and distributed in a discreet fashion.
Lowcountry Period Project - a South Carolina-based org provides period products, education, and advocates for menstrual equity, working to end the luxury tax on menstrual hygiene products.
Period - distributes free menstrual products to communities in need and advocates for systematic change through policy and legislation.
Check out the National Network of Abortion Funds to support local, independent, abortion funds across the U.S.. You can find a list of funds roughly ordered by how dire the situation in their respective states is, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights’ “What If Roe Fell?” report here.
