Welcome to my podcast Very Beginning! My name is Anastasia and through personal hardships, I made it my mission to help women feel less alone on their personal women's health & fertility journey. By talking about taboo topics, sharing my personal story, and having conversations with experts in the field my goal is to educate & inspire women and couples dealing with fertility challenges. Season 3 focuses on my own journey of starting my business Carea to provide a pregnancy and postpartum solution for women with a mental-health focus at it's heart.
