Interview with Kim Vopni - The Vagina Coach

A great podcast that may hold a key to unlocking your fertility potential. First off, all I can say is that I learned a lot from this interview, so much so that I will be referring all my fertility patients to a pelvic floor physical/physio therapist from here forward! Kim is great, and has a lot of knowledge and passion for helping women have better experiences with sex, orgasm, fertility, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum periods in their life.  ~ Spence

Hello, everybody, and welcome to Conception Channel, a podcast brought to you by the Being Fertile Program and Yinstill Reproductive Wellness. I have the pleasure of being here today with Katie. We go quite far back together, we worked together when she was trying to do everything she could to accomplish her dream, a family. She's been kind enough to share her story, she's quite an advocate for anyone needing any support in any way that has the same goal and is at a point in their life where they're struggling. Welcome, Katie.

Interview with Kirsten Karchmer

Let me tell you a little about this lady - she is a force, a freight train moving forward toward her vision, and she is kicking major ass! She is inspirational in the arena of 'getting shit done', and pulling her weight in moving TCM into the future.  At the end of this interview you will be asking yourself 'How can I leave my mark on the TCM industry, and help more patients in the process?'.  The products she has created may even end up being a revolutionary change in your own practice. This podcast is a must not miss.  ~ Spence Pentland
