Lisa’s Cervical Cerclage + Navigating Medical Trauma Apr 04, 2025

Show notes

In this episode, Lisa opens up about the cervical cerclage—or “stitch”—she received at 24 weeks pregnant to help prevent preterm labor. While the procedure was medically “simple” and technically successful, the emotional experience left her feeling raw, vulnerable, and deeply shaken.

Lisa shares her story to help you feel more empowered, choice-full, and autonomous—no matter what your pregnancy journey looks like.

She talks about:

- What a cervical cerclage is, and what’s considered normal (and not) for a cervix

- How she’s making peace with a medical-intervention-heavy pregnancy

- How she stayed connected to herself during moments of dissociation

- The challenge of maintaining autonomy when you're treated as just a “patient”

Path to Pregnancy: Secondary Infertility, Luteal Phase Defect, and Ditching “Natural” Mar 07, 2025

Show notes

After a 14-month surprise infertility battle, Lisa is emerging from what she calls the “infertility underworld” to share her path to pregnancy.

Getting pregnant with her first child was effortless, but this time, she felt like a science project. Determined to solve her fertility challenges naturally, she spent months trying to “fix” things on her own—only to realize that she needed outside help. Despite her initial resistance to fertility treatments, she ultimately turned to medical professionals. However, finding the right team was not easy. The so-called “best and top” specialists often made her feel broken rather than supported. Through trial and error, she learned that pregnancy and birth are a time to surround yourself with people who make you feel whole, not like a problem to be solved.

For those still navigating infertility’s “underworld,” Lisa sees and is rooting for you!

In this episode, Lisa covers:

- Her journey to getting pregnant with her second child

- The gap in fertility support—why there’s little guidance for women before resorting to costly medical treatments

- Maternal preoccupation—how can modern, working women balance careers when fertility planning takes over their lives?

- “You’ve got time!”—is this reassuring or misleading? Why women deserve real education about their individual fertility

- Technology & fertility tracking—the best high-tech and low-cost options for understanding cycles and hormones

Toddler Tips: Parenting Swaps to Go From Chaos to Calm Mar 15, 2024

Show notes

At around 2 years old, I realized my daughter was no longer a baby. Melt downs without reason, less naps for “me time”, and a tiny brain that was sucking in all of its surroundings – I felt lost and exhausted and overwhelmed by the fact that I now had a very impressionable tiny human.

Fortunately this was the summer I took off all work and used this time to explore, read, learn, and listen to all sorts of philosophies.

Turns out, all I was missing was TOOLS and a philosophy that suits me. I now find toddler-parenting (exhausting at times of course!!), but also so joyful, cool, empowering - and dare I say healing.

In this episode I share 14 changes I’ve made that have really helped the entire house be happier and emotionally healthier.

I hope you enjoy :)

IRL Besties Interviewing Lisa for her 35th Birthday Jun 30, 2023

Show notes

For my 35th birthday, I wanted to bring you something different. Share a part of myself you’ve probably never seen before — which is me when I’m with my best friends. Geri has been my best friend for 25 years, and when she met Lulu, her wife, I gained another best friend. I always understand myself better after being with them — this convo will have you laughing, thinking in new ways about all things life, relationships, and social media, and hopefully, adding a new dimension to how you see me.

I sincerely hope you feel like you’re just hanging out with your best friends in your own home while listening to this episode!

In this convo, we spill:

- Social media trends: why they became a creative block to Lisa’s inspiration

- Why Lisa can share without tripping herself up about how it will read in the future

- Cancel Culture: would it be that bad?

- Social Sharing: can we be present if we’re documenting?

- Unpopular opinions the three of us hold: funny, thought-provoking, and hypocritical

- Health technology: is it making us healthy?

- Boundaries: why Lisa lays them on thick AND thinks they don’t need to be verbally explained

- Lisa’s traditional life choices: would she reconsider?
