#146 - A different type of COVID-19 loss: Pregnancy dreams “on hold” with Fertility Coach Nicola Salmon
Apr 21, 2020
Has your fertility or medical care been delayed or disrupted due to COVID-19? My guest today is Nicola Salmon, author of Fat and Fertile. We discuss how her work as a fat positive fertility coach has changed dramatically in the face of COVID-19. You’ll learn how she is helping people through and it just may help you grieve the losses you’re feeling at this time, fertility or not. Plus she shares insight on her own self-care practices as a higher weight person feeling vulnerable (thank you, crappy weight stigma misinformation and nasty memes). Nicola shares her unwavering commitment to her emotional well-being during quarantine through gentle self-care practices.
