Fertility Rules

EVENT DETAILS

Why do we think of fertility as a woman’s problem? That’s what this week’s speaker wants to know.

Having been on her own complex and emotional journey with pregnancy and fertility, Leslie Schrock dug deep into the history as well as the modern practices of reproductive health. Her exploration, based on deep research and hundreds of expert interviews, yielded some pretty amazing insights about how we can make reproductive health a better experience for all, both emotionally and physically.

Following on the heels of her first blockbuster book Bumpin’, Leslie’s latest release is Fertility Rules – a highly-researched guide that explores both male and female fertility with a holistic plan to improve the chances of conceiving at any age. This session of Parlay from Away will feature the authentic story of a Parlay House member who is willing to talk about her journey and make sure that those who follow her will know how to talk to their partners, care-givers and loved-ones for the best possible outcomes.
