Hi everyone, it's Omna Navaz. Welcome to another episode of Settle In. Today's guest is author and really one of my

favorite journalists, Urin Carmon. Even if you don't know her by name, I guarantee you you have come into

contact with her work. She is one of the leading reporters when it comes to women's health and

reproductive rights and all of the impacts in America

to health care since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. You probably also heard of her because

she's the force behind the notorious RBG book documenting the life in times of Supreme Court

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. And she's written extensively on all of these topics. Her new book is called

Unbearable, and it documents the stories of five women who are all pregnant or trying to get

pregnant in modern America, and it all, of course, unfolds at a time when your health care

and your rights really depend on where you live. It's a beautifully written book, very intimately told.

And Erin also talks to us about how her own pregnancies informed her work and how she approaches

these interviews and these women.

She shares the story of the very first time that she and I met, which I didn't know

the backstory.

We both just ended up crying,

talking to each other on the set of this very big fancy photo shoot, which she tells very

in a funny way. But it's a great book. It's a great conversation. I hope you'll take a listen.

So settle in and enjoy my chat with author Irin Carmon.

Erin Carmon, it is such a pleasure to talk to you today.

Welcome to the podcast.

Thank you so much.

I'm so thrilled to be here.
