In today's very special episode, I am joined by philanthropist, award-winning OB-GYN and the self-proclaimed Olivia Pope of Vaginas, Dr. Jackie Walters! We discuss the inextricable link between feminine health and mental health, Dr. Jackie shares her own harrowing fertility journey, and the societal pressures on women in the realm of fertility. I had so much fun, learned so much, and was so inspired having Dr. Jackie on the pod and I hope you enjoy it too!    “Pain has a purpose. Misery gives you ministry. And struggles give you strength. And I can certainly say that my fertility struggle has made me stronger every day.”   Listen to Dr. Jackie's podcast, 'Dr. Jackie's Point of V" or pick up her book, "The Queen V."
