  • Ep. 251 “Un embrión no es un bebé”: Wendy Cruz rompe tabúes sobre fertilidad, religión y maternidad


    ¿Qué pasa cuando el deseo de ser madre se encuentra con la ciencia, la fe y los prejuicios?

    Esta semana en The Ana Cruz Show converso con la periodista Wendy Cruz, quien durante más de una década fue uno de los rostros de Univision. Hablamos de su carrera, la presión de trabajar en medios, la ansiedad y el impacto que todo esto tuvo en su vida personal.

    También entramos en uno de los capítulos más íntimos de su historia: su experiencia con la fertilización in vitro (FIV) y su libro Cuando la Cigüeña No Llega.

    Wendy habla sin tabúes sobre fertilidad, embriones, religión, ciencia, maternidad y la importancia de tomar decisiones informadas sobre nuestro propio cuerpo.
