Why? Because there is no such thing as having "too much information" when it comes to your health and wellness. Information and knowledge is power, period. And feeling empowered is everything.
Many of us are living similar experiences, and yet we often feel alone, or even worse - shameful about what we perceive to be an embarrassing problem. When we are embarrassed, we stay silent. Silence breeds shame, and shame makes our struggles even more difficult.
My hope is to help change that. And it starts here!
I want to create a space where NO question is off limits (I really mean it!), where no one feels judged and where you can tune in to learn something, and feel a little seen!
From painful sex, raging hormones, vanishing libido, postpartum vaginal healing, infertility and bladder leaks (been there!) - there is no judgement here. This is about asking the awkward questions and talking with top experts to get the truth - the information you deserve.
We are going there, unfiltered! And I am so excited you're here.

Dr. Michael Klein is best known for his landmark Randomized Control Trial of episiotomy that demonstrated that routine episiotomy caused the very problems it was supposed to prevent. This work is credited with leading to a dramatic drop in episiotomy and a parallel drop in severe rectal trauma across Canada and beyond. Semi retired, he continues to teach both clinical and research skills, and mentors family practice physicians for their research projects. He is also the author of “Dissident Doctor”, a riveting book chronicling his life and work.
Nikki, Lexi, and Dr. Klein chat about the eye opening experiences and knowledge Dr. Klein has gained through his years of dedication, work and research in birth. He shares the importance of self-advocacy, gives us a history lesson in obstetric violence and pleads with us to make change for future generations of birthing women.

Mommy wine culture is booming. You don’t have to go far to find memes about the “quarantini” and “mommy’s juice box” being a box of Rosé. Today we are asking the question why? Drinking can be a coping mechanism for stressed out moms - but what moms really need isn’t wine. What we need is support. And that is unfortunately difficult to ask for.
We are interviewing Michelle Kapler. She is a Certified Life Coach, specializing in overdrinking and alcohol freedom. She works with high achieving women, who want to explore their relationship with alcohol, without judgement and without labels. As a highly successful entrepreneur, multiple times over and a mother, Michelle understands what it's like to have a big, full, wonderful life on the outside… but to truly feel like you need that nightly glass (or bottle) of wine to make it through life. To feel like sometimes you are drinking against your own will. To feel like you have lost control. Michelle has now been living an alcohol free life for over two years. To achieve this, she used tools based in cognitive psychology, thought work and coaching, to completely lose her desire for alcohol and create a beautiful amazing life, without identifying as an alcoholic or using a 12 step program. She now helps her clients do the same.
Nikki, Lexi, and Michelle talk about how much is “too much,” alternative coping mechanisms, and how to overcome many addictions in your life.
What We’re Chatting About:
- Tell us your story of how you came to specialize in helping people cope with drinking?
- What are the stats on drinking frequency and amount?
- What is too much?
- What is the difference between an alcoholic and someone who drinks too much?
- What are some signs you may want to get some help?
- What do you wish more people knew about drinking?
- What are your thoughts on Mommy Wine Culture?
- How has becoming a non drinker affected your life?
