Ronit and Vida are the co-founders of WeNatal, a company revolutionizing how we think about fertility. These two best friends met nearly 20 years ago climbing the corporate ladder at Nike, but it wasn't until they both experienced devastating miscarriages within a week of each other that they discovered their true mission.

We explore how ageism gets baked into us as young as age three, why using age as a default excuse keeps us stuck, and how shifting your mindset can literally change what your bo...
