"You don’t have to make your body smaller to get pregnant. You are so worthy of getting any help and care you need to reach your goal right now. You're not broken, and you don't need fixing."

In this episode Kim welcomes Nicola Salmon to talk about her journey with fertility and the impact of weight stigma on accessing fertility care. 

The conversation touches on how medical weight stigma impacts fertility outcomes, the flaws in fertility research, and practical steps for larger-bodied individuals to support their reproductive health without dieting or weight loss. 

As an expert  coach for larger-bodied people who want to grow a family, Nicola also delves into her four key areas of focus in her work and offers empowering advice for those on a similar journey.
