The End of an Era 29:32

29:32

After 4 ½ years, countless conversations, and an unwavering commitment to making a difference, we’ve made the difficult decision to end our podcast. This isn’t the episode we thought we’d be recording—but it’s the one we need to have. Todays Topics: - Why we’re stepping away from podcasting. - The hard truths: feeling disappointed, under-appreciated, and undervalued in this space. - The emotional toll of pouring your heart into something that doesn’t always give back. - How this journey has shaped us—and what comes next. - A heartfelt thank you to those who showed up, supported us, and believed in our mission. We started this podcast to educate, empower, and create change. And while this chapter is closing, we hope the conversations we sparked continue to inspire, challenge, and push for better. To everyone who listened, shared, and stood by us—thank you. Your support meant more than you’ll ever know. We leave you with this: Stay safe. Stay strong. And never stop fighting for what matters. For one last time—thank you for syncing up with us. XOXO Emily + Stephanie…

With over a decade of gynecological expertise, 60,000+ social media followers, and experience as a Progressive News Correspondent and abortion fund board member, Nikki combines innovation, advocacy, and education to expand access to equitable care and inspire change. Today’s Topics: What are the biggest concerns women face since recent election results? Should you stock up on birth control or switch to long-term options like IUDs or implants? How funding cuts to reproductive health programs may strip access to affordable routine care like pap smears and STI testing. Addressing the growing gap in healthcare access for women across socioeconomic lines. Will policies further limit family planning options, like IVF or egg freezing? Preparing the next generation: How can we protect the rights of daughters, nieces, and mentees? They called us hysterical when we warned about Roe. They said we were crazy when we fought to protect abortion rights. And yet, here we are. We can’t afford to wait. We can’t afford to be silenced. When it comes to our bodies, our futures, and our freedom, our voices matter more than ever. Let’s turn “hysterical” into unstoppable. Tune in now and join the fight for a future where healthcare is a right—not a privilege. Sync up with Nikki: Instagram: @nikkivinck TikTok: @nikkivinck Website: takebacktrust.com…

Breaking Free from Career Limits: Finding Balance and Redefining Success with Career Coach Dr. Megan Daley 54:29

לפני 28 weeks54:29

54:29

In this episode, we are breaking the cycle of unhealed mindsets as we sit down and speak with trauma and somatic-informed clinical educator, speaker, and mindset coach for women in male-dominated fields, podcast host for "Human On The Daley," and Author of the Rediscovering Your Best Self Journal, Dr. Megan Daley! Megan shares how becoming a parental caregiver forced her to pivot her life away from corporate healthcare burnout to career coaching, where woo-woo meets Western medicine. We discuss how balance is bullshit, how social media makes it challenging to create healthy, realistic boundaries, and what it means to have a work-life balance. She breaks down some common challenges women face when making a career transition, how they can prepare for them, and how they can best communicate their career change to family and friends to gain their support and help them figure out what their pivot to a new career path is. WHO IS DR. MEGAN? From the Doctor herself! "I’m considered an expert in many things: physical therapy, wellness, oncology rehab, the musculoskeletal system, trauma & somatic informed care, nervous system regulation, burnout, and more…after a decade + long career as a doctor of Physical Therapy, the last several of which I ran a very successful cash clinic where I was able to start to incorporate mind-body-soul connections, I had enough of the systems and limitations of traditional healthcare. Mix that with a life altering event, and I felt everything in my being called to address the root of the disconnect I saw in myself and everyone around me. I realized SO many women, like myself, were living based on should's, to the point of not fully recognizing themselves and not knowing what’s missing…In my Career Clarity sessions, and in my retreats, I combine my knowledge of the body and mind to help high achieving women break out of the boxes of expectations, perfectionism, and people pleasing in order to truly discover who they are and what they really want in life (and what will get them there!)"
