Women's health & breaking the stigma with TV presenter Michelle Ackerley
Michelle Ackerley is a TV and radio presenter who is championing more honest conversations about women’s health. Michelle recently shared her experience of living with endometriosis and the impact it can have on fertility. In this chat, she talks about the complex reasons why women may choose not to have children or are unable to and why there needs to be more openness and support around this. We also talk about how working in the public eye can add an extra layer of scrutiny when it comes to the question of children. It’s a must-listen!
