Roe v. Wade is the case that legalized abortion in the United States in 1973. Safe, legal abortion was a federal constitutional right nationwide for nearly 50 years. But today's Supreme Court is dominated by justices who are hostile to abortion rights. With the recent ban on abortion rights in certain states in America and in many countries, it's a confusing time for us to really understand our rights and ho to get the care we need. On this show we talk with Melissa Grant, the Founder and CEO of Carfem, a telemedicine and network of health clinics offering safe medical abortion. We discuss everything one needs to know about abortion rights, where to get a safe abortion and exactly what is legal.

On this show we are joined by Beth McNaughton, VP at Inspire to talk about finding a safe community to share our healthcare concerns without the fear of our data or privacy being stolen.

As we age, we also lose our loved ones, that's sadly life! Often losing our parents and siblings, can lead us down on our own morbidity journey. Our guest Valerie VonSobel, a survivor of the Communist era in Hungary, tragically lost her son, mother and husband all at the same period of time and while grieving used her art and love of fashion as healing mechanisms. This is her story of rebuilding her life and being... well, fabulous! She is a work of art herself and at 80+ a much sort after fashion muse and artist.
