Melissa Hemsley: Ask For Help When You Need It

Season 10 of the podcast is here! I'm excited to share that my guest on the first episode of season 10 is Melissa Hemsley, a former private chef turned best-selling author, including her most recent book Real Healthy - Unprocess Your Diet With Easy Everyday Recipes.


In this episode, Melissa shares:


  • Her fertility journey
  • What she’s doing to prepare for her next embryo transfer, including how she’s nourishing herself
  • The wise words her dear friend Emma Cannon, the renowned fertility acupuncturist, shared with her
  • Why she’s gone back to school to study nutritional therapy and what she wants to do afterwards
  • And of course, the story of her first period


Melissa says that it’s so important to find lovely people in your life that you can speak to, not be afraid to lean on and ask for help when you need it.


Thank you, Melissa!
