****


Stop what you're doing. This one is that episode.


There are conversations that inform you. And then there are conversations that rewire you. This is the second kind. If you've ever left a doctor's office feeling dismissed, minimized, or like your body was an inconvenience — this episode is your permission slip to never accept that again.


This week, Natty sits down with Nikki Sapiro Vinckier — OBGYN physician assistant, reproductive rights activist, founder of Take Back Trust, and author of the upcoming book We Deserve More (May 18th) — to talk about what it really means to reclaim your power inside a healthcare system that was never built for you. They dig into the buried history of gynecology, the radical act of demanding more, and why pleasure activism and reproductive justice aren't separate conversations — they're the same one.


Nikki became a mother three times against the backdrop of Harvey Weinstein, George Floyd, and the Dobbs decision. She was growing humans while the world was on fire. And instead of going quiet? She got louder.


In this episode, we go deep on:

🔥 Why reproductive healthcare in America is broken at the foundation — and the shocking, suppressed history that built it

🔥 How Nikki suffered postpartum anxiety and depression despite doing everything right — and why the system failed even her, a healthcare provider who knew exactly what to look for

🔥 The loaded, revolutionary power of the word "deserve" — and why reclaiming it is an act of rebellion

🔥 The violent truth about Dr. J. Marion Sims — the so-called "grandfather of gynecology" who practiced surgery on unanesthetized enslaved Black women — and how that legacy lives in exam rooms to this day

🔥 The difference between asking nicely for better care and demanding what you deserve — and why that distinction will change how you walk into every appointment

🔥 How to actually prepare for and optimize your healthcare encounters inside a system that wasn't built for your body

🔥 Why pleasure activism isn't separate from reproductive justice — it is reproductive justice
