Being pregnant is so cool!🤰
Very interesting
Great topics which are well presented by Florence. They are informative & interesting & I always learn lots! I also love the ‘zesty’ end! Thank you Florence for taking time out & for sharing all your wonderful knowledge and honest options. I always look forward to the next episode! 🤗
Always enjoy your show Florence, you communicate complicated information in an accessible and balanced way. Would have been great to consider some dietary iodine sources for the thyroid episode and about how all women can support their own thyroid health. Keep up the amazing show
I really like Florence’s show - she makes complicated medical information more accessible and I feel is making a very positive impact on my work as a doula and hypnobirthing teacher. I often signpost clients to this show to expand their own knowledge and to help them make decisions that are right for them. Great work Florence!! Thank you ♥️
