Awesome

I love listening to A Tribe Called Fertility. The knowledge shared and advocacy that takes place is much needed.

The episode with the children was right on time. I enjoyed every second of it. Please consider doing more with them so we could learn more about life through their eyes.

Brilliant

The episode with Dr. Shah is not only relevant but needed. His statement about the bar for the expectation of the child birth experience not being set high enough is the type of perception that comes from a Doctor who not only loves their job but also values the patients in their care. Excellent episode. 🙌🏽

Krystole ,

Just...wow!

I can’t even articulate how proud I am of these ladies! Sinora is my girl, #Scanlan forever, but the other women on this platform are my literal podcast sisters in my head. I’m super proud of all of you and I look forward to seeing all the things God will present to you. Great Podcast and such needed to be talked about topics! Congratulations to you all! - Krystole
