Buckle up for a deep dive into the highs and lows of reproductive healthcare with special guest MJ Hetland (aka @uterusnurse)! From the behind-the-scenes realities of labor and delivery nursing to the systemic challenges around abortion access and maternal mortality, we’re unpacking it all.

MJ joins us to chat about the critical role of midwives, the overlooked significance of the APGAR score, and the fight for reproductive autonomy in a world full of healthcare hurdles. But don’t worry—it’s not all heavy! We mix in humor, personal stories, and some lighthearted fun, including book talk and playful Q&A to round it out.

Catch this episode for real talk, laughs, and a whole lot of heart.

In this episode, Cady and Sharilyn sit down with Jill Lissner—educator, content creator, and student—to dive deep into reproductive justice and abortion care. Together, they unpack systemic barriers to access, the power of personal stories, and how misinformation impacts abortion rights.

But that’s not all! The conversation takes a creative turn as they explore the sapphic vibes in Wicked, polar bears (!! 🐾), and the connections between compassion, sustainability, and advocacy.
