On today's episode, Ali is talking to yet another amazing woman who has turned her pain into her purpose: Dr Sarah Oreck, Co-Founder and CEO of Mavida Health. After her late-term pregnancy loss, Sarah created a company that would provide those on their path to parenthood the right tools and resources to take care of their mental health, every step of the way. Ali and Sarah talk about sex education and what they both learned about having babies when they were growing up; the devastation of what Sarah went through; how talking about miscarriage (or any loss, for that matter) and mental health need to be normalized, and how her Mavida Health co-founder also experienced a second trimester pregnancy loss.
