  • The Whole Story: HIV awareness

    The Whole Story: HIV awareness
    Jun 24 2026

    What if one of the biggest barriers to ending HIV isn't medicine—it's stigma?

    In this episode, we take a closer look at the realities of HIV in Florida today and the challenges that too often go unspoken. From fear of testing and misconceptions about HIV to impact individuals, families, and communities.

    Most importantly, this conversation goes beyond statistics and headlines to focus on the people behind the numbers—their experiences, resilience, and the support systems that help them thrive.

    Whether you're living with HIV, supporting someone who is, working in healthcare, or simply interested in learning more, this episode offers an honest and hopeful conversation about breaking stigma, supporting mental wellness, and building healthier communities.

  • Fertility Access and Policy Impact

    Fertility Access and Policy Impact
    Dec 3 2025

    In this episode, we take a deeper look at what “fertility access” truly means today — cutting through the buzzwords to examine the real experiences of people pursuing care. We break down the current landscape of fertility treatment in Florida, explore how recent policy shifts are shaping access, and discuss where legislation may be headed next.


    Our special guest, Dr. Leah Roberts of Boca Fertility, shares her personal story and offers insight into the barriers patients face under today’s laws — highlighting the emotional, financial, and logistical challenges that often go unaddressed in policy debates.


    Whether you're navigating fertility care yourself, supporting someone on their journey, or simply interested in the intersection of reproductive health and policy, this conversation explores the complexities and hope within the fertility landscape.
