    #135: The Truth About Ultrasounds: Risks & Benefits
    Oct 22 2025

    ​​Want to learn all of Dr. Morgan's expert advice on pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and postpartum? Get her lessons here!


    Ultrasounds can save babies… and harm them.


    In this episode, we break down the real risks, the imperfect tech, and the benefits so you can choose with nuance. We don’t take an all-or-nothing stance; We look at where this tool helps and where it doesn’t, and name the common pressure tracks people get swept into.


    You’ll hear what makes the first trimester different, why short scans matter, and how an anatomy scan fits. We pull back the curtain on false alarms, anxiety spirals, and the temptation to use a Doppler like a security blanket. Sometimes the smartest move is giving your body what it already needs.


    You’ll Learn:


    [00:00] Introduction

    [06:00] Choosing reassurance without overuse

    [11:00] Early scans: where caution matters

    [16:00] When false results derail a pregnancy

    [20:57] IUGR: balancing risk and timing

    [26:11] The miscarriage myth gets a reality check

    [29:16] What a randomized trial found about child outcomes

    [36:58] Choosing acceptance when you feel out of control

    [40:36] Why the ‘right’ choice looks different for every Mom

    [50:18] What the 20-week anatomy scan is for

    [1:11:00] What a late-pregnancy biophysical profile actually checks

  • #134: How to Find the Right Balance in Fertility, Parenting & Beauty Treatments

    #134: How to Find the Right Balance in Fertility, Parenting & Beauty Treatments
    Oct 15 2025

    Womanhood Wellness is where functional medicine meets feminine wisdom—guiding you to balance hormones, awaken libido, and prepare for pregnancy with intention. Join today


    What if chasing health and beauty ends up making us sick, anxious, and disconnected?


    This episode is all about choosing joy instead of fear and questioning the pressure to do everything “right,” from Botox to seed oils. That lens applies to everything, hair dye, kids’ snacks, and even the bread at an Italian restaurant. We need to ask what actually serves our bodies and our stress levels.


    The internet is a great resource, but it has created immense confusion around wellness because for every idea you can easily find an opposition with just as much conviction. We explore that same middle ground in fertility, where IVF might make sense for some while natural approaches fit others. Of course, we always bring it home to motherhood and discuss screens, childcare, and the everyday mess of trying to balance it all without losing ourselves in the extremes.


    You’ll Learn:


    [00:00] Introduction

    [06:09] Where the line blurs between natural beauty choices and Botox

    [09:08] The hidden costs of breast implants and why “safe” options aren’t risk-free

    [10:18] How losing facial expression with Botox may impact kids and human connection

    [22:33] Why obsessing over toxins or food rules can harm more than help

    [26:11] The mindset shift that transforms health choices from fear to joy

    [32:56] Navigating the nuanced spectrum between fertility treatments and natural approaches

    [38:57] How to balance being present with your kids while still holding boundaries

    [41:25] The real struggles of working motherhood and why guilt shows up on both sides

    [51:06] Why extremes create suffering and why most wisdom lives in the middle
