The Pregnancy to Parenting Show with Elizabeth Joy

Not only is getting pregnant and having healthy children more difficult than it was for our parents' generation, reproductive anxiety is also on the rise.

Alexandria's approach to pre-pregnancy wellness is revolutionary. She suggests preparing for pregnancy with the same level of dedication and planning as one would for a wedding. Her book emphasizes that the steps taken to prepare the body and mind before conceiving can have a profound impact not only on fertility, but also on the lifelong health of the child. "9 Months Is Not Enough" serves as a comprehensive guide for individuals at any stage of their journey to parenthood, offering practical advice and empowering insights. In addition to writing the ultimate pre-pregnancy checklist, Alexandria is a functional nutritionist who specializes in fertility and preconception health. She is the founder and CEO of Poplin, the first pre-pregnancy wellness company, and holds an MBA from Harvard Business School, a master's degree in nutrition, and has had extensive training as a doula, yoga teacher and personal trainer.

As a childhood educator, author, and parent, Autumn McKay has navigated the challenges of screen-time management with her own children and believes that her story and insights could provide ideas for parents in all seasons. Like many parents, she found herself facing the all-too-familiar scenario of dealing with tantrums and meltdowns when it was time to end screen-time sessions. It was a wakeup call for her to recognize the need for change and find a balance between digital engagement and real-life experiences.
