Can We Stop Asking Women When They Are Having Kids??? w/ Dr. Amber

"When are you having kids?" is actually one of the most triggering emotionally loaded questions you can ask. Many pregnancies are unplanned and many are planned; however, no woman should feel constant outside pressure to get pregnant. Plus, let's not forget that fertility challenges exist - in fact, millions of women struggle to get pregnant each year.

Fertility challenges can bring up feelings of anxiety, stress, and negative thoughts about your body. Today, I'm in conversation with Dr. Amber of Balanced Working Mama. From what not to say to someone who is trying to conceive, to building a better relationship with your body and practical tips for maintaining your mental health, Dr. Amber is here to help you get your mind in check. Plus, she is answering your questions on how to support someone on their own unique fertility journey.

The Flourish Heights Podcast was made for women, by women. To be empowered in health starts with a true connection with your body. Join Valerie Agyeman, Women’s Health Dietitian as she breaks through topics surrounding periods, women’s nutrition, body awareness, and self-care.
