Celebrating Women’s Reproductive Journeys

I had the pleasure of diving into another vital issue of Like the Wind magazine. This time, we’re shining a light on subjects that were once considered taboo—menstruation, IVF, and miscarriage. While these topics have traditionally lurked in the shadows, they are now taking center stage in mainstream conversations.

The article looks at how these themes affect women during different stages of life. It highlights how the most productive years for many women often overlap with childbearing and career growth.

By sharing these stories, we aim to foster understanding and bring them into the spotlight.
