Summary

**Trigger Warning** On today's episode, we are talking about infertility, endometriosis, hemorrhaging and traumatic birth experiences. My friend Melissa Randazzo opens up about her several year journey with all of the things I just listed. She is inviting us into her personal life and making us feel less alone. I'm so grateful for her. Melissa founded True Warrior Jewelry after teaching herself how to make jewelry to help her cope through a traumatic fertility journey and the premature birth of her son. She is a social worker, mom of two, wife and small business owner who wants to spread awareness to other women who may be going through something similar to her. Melissa’s fertility journey started after she lost both of her fallopian tubes due to a doctor not taking her pain seriously. She wants other women to learn to trust their instincts and to advocate for themselves. Her jewelry company, True Warrior Jewelry, empowers others to face their current journey with courage, power and protection.
