Today I wanted to interrupt my regularly-scheduled podcasting to bring you an episode honoring my black female role model, Lisa Hendrickson-Jack. Lisa is the author of “The Fifth Vital Sign” and host of the “Fertility Friday” podcast. I have learned so much from Lisa. She is such an inspiration to me!

I still have a lot to learn, but one thing I know is I cannot be silent about the fact that black lives do matter. Anti-racism and hatred is NEVER okay. Honoring this amazing black woman and bringing more awareness to her work is one tiny thing I am doing to show my support. There is definitely a lot more work to do.

Lisa’s “Fertility Friday” podcast is the perfect mix of expert interviews and stories of real-life women using natural family planning (fertility awareness). Here are some of Lisa’s episodes that have stood out to me that I discuss on this week’s Wholly a Woman podcast episode. I highly encourage you to check them out yourself!
