Do you trust the healthcare system?

And more importantly—do you know how to make the most of what you have access to? Let’s cut through the BS!

In this episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on women’s healthcare—where the gaps are, why they exist, and what it actually looks like to advocate for yourself in a system that wasn’t built for you.

I’m joined by Nikki Vinckier, women's health advocate, physician and author of We Deserve More, for a conversation that is honest, nuanced, and—at times—uncomfortable in the best way.

Because women don’t need more noise. We need better information, real context, and the tools to make decisions with confidence. We get into:

• Why women’s healthcare feels broken—and how medical training and systems contribute to it

• The reality of postpartum care in the U.S. (and why so many women feel unsupported)

• Mental health, motherhood, and the pressure to “bounce back”

• How to advocate for yourself in a doctor’s office (what to ask, what to push back on)

• The difference between traditional vs. concierge care—and who actually has access

• Social media, misinformation, and how women are being misled about birth control + wellness

• What trauma-informed care really means—and why it matters

• The impact of legislation, insurance, and privilege on women’s health outcomes

• Navigating contraception, fertility concerns, and making decisions without fear

• Where alternative + integrative medicine fits in—and how to think about it with nuance

• Why lived experience matters—and how women can drive real systemic change

This isn’t about rejecting medicine. It’s about understanding it—so you can navigate it on your terms.

Because you deserve more than one point of view. And you deserve care that actually sees you.
