Ronit and Vida are the co-founders of WeNatal, a company revolutionizing how we think about fertility. These two best friends met nearly 20 years ago climbing the corporate ladder at Nike, but it wasn't until they both experienced devastating miscarriages within a week of each other that they discovered their true mission.

When their doctors told them "it's common, there's nothing you can do," they refused to accept that answer. What they uncovered changed everything: men contribute to 50% of pregnancy health and pregnancy loss, and sperm quality can be dramatically improved through targeted nutrition.

In this conversation, we explore:

The hidden truth about male fertility - Why prenatals for men didn't exist and how sperm quality directly impacts miscarriage rates

What "trimester zero" really means - The critical 3-month window before conception that most couples ignore

Why "geriatric pregnancy" language is harmful - How medical narratives rob women of agency and what to do instead

Practical detox strategies - Simple household changes that reduce toxic load and support fertility for both partners

The role of stress in conception - Why you can check every box nutritionally but still struggle if your nervous system is dysregulated

This conversation is for anyone navigating a fertility journey or wanting to optimize their health for future conception. It's honest, vulnerable, and packed with actionable guidance you can implement today.

Dr. Felice Chan bridges neuroscience and Traditional Chinese Medicine — and in this conversation, she reveals why so many of us are stuck in a fight or flight mode, struggling with gut issues, insomnia, and anxiety.

We talk about:

• Why your body stores emotions in your fascia (and how acupuncture helps release them)
• The real root cause behind cascading symptoms like headaches, insomnia, and digestive issues
• How stress rewires your nervous system—and why you can't just "relax" your way out of it
• The Chinese medicine approach to food, and why what you eat for breakfast matters more than you think
• Why taking 15 supplements isn't helping (and might actually be making things worse)
• The four pillars of Traditional Chinese Medicine—and how to use them in your daily life

Dr. Felice Chan is a board-certified Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner and acupuncturist based in Los Angeles. She studied neuroscience and worked in clinical research before shifting to Eastern medicine, and now helps patients address root causes rather than just masking symptoms.

What happens when you've checked every box—the PhD from Yale, the six-figure job, the marriage—and still feel like you're living someone else's life?

This week, I sit down with Jasmine Escalera, the self-proclaimed "Queen of Reinvention," who walked away from a prestigious career in science to help women rewrite their stories with themselves at the center. Despite achieving everything she was told would make her happy, something felt profoundly wrong.

Jasmine shares how she broke free from the weight of expectations—one domino at a time. We explore the emotional cost of choosing yourself when it disappoints the people you love and why "midlife crisis" should be reframed as "midlife awakening,"

This episode is for anyone standing at a crossroads, wondering if there's more to life than the path you've been told to follow.

About Jasmine Escalera

Jasmine Escalara is a reinvention coach who teaches women the art of rewriting their stories with themselves at the center. After earning her PhD from Yale and achieving all the traditional markers of success, she chose to leave it all behind to help other women navigate life transitions, tap into their internal desires, and practically go after what they want.

She is the founder of The Courage Crew, a monthly membership community where women support each other through reinvention, healing, and choosing themselves—without having to do it alone.
