If you feel like the politics of fertility are in our face these days, you’re not alone. Since the fall of Roe v. Wade, the aftermath of that ruling, and more recently the attack on IVF in Alabama and legislation in the cue for personhood laws (life starts at conception) in red states (with sweeping bans on access to reproductive procedures) it’s enough to make someone scream and swear - a lot.

Which I do in the podcast. Because it’s too much - and I keep saying ‘how can this be?” and ‘what the fuck is happening?’ 

I didn’t want to talk about fertility and politics alone - because it’s not something that I feel educated enough on to speak to - but I’m ready to drop some f bombs around what’s happening out there. So I enlisted someone who knows what they're talking about.

Lauren Hart Clancy, a former fertility yoga student, joins me for this and brings a calming presence to talking about the politics of fertility - AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO PROTECT OUR RIGHTS! 

Here is what we cover:

I think that you find Lauren’s knowledge and level-headedness when talking about such emotional issues is refreshing. Yes, we can be mad and angry AND yes, we can do something about it as well.
