In a world of ingredient overload, greenwashing, and toxic beauty standards, how do we care for our skin without compromising our health?

In this radiant episode of Reproductive Rebel, I’m joined by Renee Harris, founder of MadeOn Skincare and a pioneer in the clean beauty space. Together, we dive into the healing power of simplicity, the myths of conventional skincare, and how to create a conscious routine that truly supports your body’s wisdom.

You’ll learn:
🌿 Why fewer ingredients often mean more impact
🧴 What to avoid in conventional beauty products—and why
✨ How Renee built her brand from a homemade lotion bar to a holistic skin movement
💫 Ways to make skincare a sacred ritual instead of a chemical gamble
If you’ve been craving a gentler, body-honoring approach to skincare, this conversation will guide you back to the basics—and to the power of reclaiming your radiance, naturally.

Guest Spotlight: Renee Harris

What happens when the world stops asking how you’re doing — and only sees the baby?

In this tender and truth-telling episode of Reproductive Rebel, we’re joined by holistic OB/GYN Dr. Jessica Vernon who specializes in perinatal mental health to talk about the often invisible realities of life after birth.

If you or someone you love has ever felt “off” after birth but didn’t have the words — this episode offers both language and liberation.

In this eye-opening episode of Reproductive Rebel, we’re pulling back the curtain on polypharmacy—the all-too-common practice of prescribing multiple medications, often without cohesive oversight. For women navigating complex reproductive health journeys, this can mean side effects, confusion, and disempowerment.

But what if there was another way?

Join your host, Adrienne Irizarry, as she explores how herbalists and pharmacists can co-create a more holistic, safe, and empowering approach to care. Discover how collaboration across disciplines isn’t just possible—it’s necessary for true healing.

In this powerful episode of Reproductive Rebel, we’re getting real about a topic that’s rarely discussed but urgently needs attention: the critical lack of Black sperm donors in fertility clinics across the country.

Our guest, Lakia Holmes—fertility advocate and reproductive justice warrior—joins us to unpack the deep systemic, cultural, and emotional layers that contribute to this disparity.

What We Cover:

🖤 Why there’s a severe shortage of Black sperm donors

🖤 The role of systemic racism in donor recruitment and reproductive medicine

🖤 Cultural stigmas and trust issues that impact donation rates

🖤 What inclusive fertility justice really looks like
