Your hosts have not had a minute to catch up recently, so today is all about life updates! Career, love, egg freezing — this episode has it all! Danielle chats about her move to Cleveland, and Jac opens up about how much she is loving teaching. This leads them both into a discussion on guilt over not working bedside. Plus, we get an update on Michael and how supportive he has been through the egg freezing journey, and we hear about a very special new man friend of Jac’s who has been by her side as well. The two express their gratitude to each other and to Cofertility for the constant support throughout this journey.

Life updates! Hot eggs don’t gatekeep...

The WoMed is a space to discuss, debate, and celebrate all things Women in Medicine! Danielle Maltby is joined by co-host Jackie Camardo to bring new issues and faces to light in the medical community. These nursing vets bring humor, reality, and a serious passion for the world around them to discussions on self-care, emerging healthcare trends, education, activism, patient stories, and pop culture representation of the industry. The hosts welcome not just women in medicine, but members of the LGBTQ communities in medicine as well, to ensure more people have a platform to amplify their voices. They are also joined by some of the industry’s biggest experts and thought-leaders! Nothing is off-limits, so listeners should come prepared to laugh, (maybe cry), and tune in to meaningful conversations that could change the way you see healthcare.

They say all good things must come to an end! After some thoughtful contemplation, D and Jac have made the decision to end the pod (for now). After five incredible years, it wasn’t an easy choice to make, but one they felt was necessary. The gals explain what led them here and reflect on their most cherished memories, where their friendship stands, and takeaways from their experience as podcast hosts. They also get candid about their future plans and hopes for their lives after the WoMed. We love you all so much. Thank you for everything!! And for one last time, WoMed...out!

WoMed...Out!

Caitlin Crosby is the multifaceted force behind The Giving Keys, a jewelry company with a heartwarming mission to support individuals transitioning out of homelessness in Los Angeles. She is also an author, TEDx speaker, and Oprah ambassador. (Yes, you read that right! THE Orpah). In today’s episode, she is sharing her inspiring journey from the entertainment industry to entrepreneurship and how her passion project turned into a full-blown business. Caitlin's story is one of creativity, compassion, and an entrepreneurial spirit driven by a desire to make a meaningful impact rather than financial gain. Her commitment to mental health advocacy and personal growth shines through as she discusses the significance of the word "resilient" for the year, reflecting on her own challenges, including becoming a single mom. The conversation also touches on the (not always positive) evolution of social media, the therapeutic power of The Giving Keys, and Caitlin's future hopes for the brand.

ICYMI: This is your brain on food with Dr. Uma Naidoo (Part 1)

With winter well under way, the gals are sitting down for a much-needed catch-up and mental health check-in. Jac and D are sharing candid updates on their lives and opening up about how they are really doing. D opens up about her current headspace and how her mental health is "mentalling" as she adjusts to life in Cleveland and gives a candid post-breakup update. While Jac is feeling mentally exhausted after her grandma’s recent health scare, she is so excited about her twin sister giving birth next month! It's safe to say the gals have a lot on the go right now and are due for a much-needed vacay somewhere warm!! Hopefully this episode serves as a reminder to take it easy on yourself this season, lean into rest and self-care, and give yourself some grace through whatever challenges you might also be facing this winter.
