Ep. 81 All The Fertility Questions You’ve Been Scared To Ask with Dr Helen O’Neill

Ep. 81

Dr Helen O’Neill is a leading expert in reproductive science, she’s a lecturer in reproductive and molecular genetics at University College London, she has a Masters in Prenatal Genetics and Fetal Medicine and a PhD in Stem Cell Biology. She is also the founder and CEO of Hertility Health, an award-winning bio-tech business specialising in fertility testing that has raised over £5 million since launch.


Fertility is obviously a hugely sensitive topic, but it’s also one that we never talk about for exactly that reason. When I started this podcast, I wanted it to cover the important topics that we never get taught, and I learnt so so much from Helen that I really couldn’t believe I haven’t researched or known before. If you’re thinking about switching off right now because you find the idea of fertility testing terrifying like I do, I promise you it’s worth sticking it out and listening to this one. However, if you are someone who is currently struggling to conceive, or finds fertility conversations particularly hard, this is an episode to skip.

  • 172. How To Actually Make The Most Of Your Twenties

    25:44||Ep. 172
    Today’s solo episode is all about your twenties, the decade everyone loves to romanticise and panic about at the exact same time. We’re told “these are the best years of your life”. That this is the decade where you’re supposed to find your passion, find your people, figure yourself out, build your career, start investing, go to therapy, travel the world, and somehow also enjoy being young and carefree. So today I wanted to break that all down. We’re going to talk about what actually matters in your twenties, what the research says about how this decade shapes the rest of your life, and how to make the most of it without losing your mind trying to do everything perfectly. I also spoke to the amazing Dr Meg Jay who had some great advice!+DR MEG JAYIG: https://www.instagram.com/drmegjay/ Books: https://megjay.com/books/ + +SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghard...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpo...+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.

    Sabrina is an entrepreneur, UN Goodwill Ambassador, and co-founder of S’ABLE Labs with her husband Idris Elba.What I love most about her story is how honest she was about the iterations of her career, and the big decisions that have led to where she's at today.And instead of forcing her future, she changed direction. Which sounds simple, but when you’ve built your whole identity around a plan, it’s one of the hardest things to do.I loved our chat and I hope you do to!+SABRINA ELBAIG: https://www.instagram.com/sabrinaelba/?hl=en S'ABLE Labs: https://uk.sablelabs.co/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22847910183&gbraid=0AAAAAoySwxYfK7ZB2JUoTd-4nv866EAza&gclid=Cj0KCQjwvJHIBhCgARIsAEQnWlC21dQ0pUvz3uWuB7SIgefkWBl6d7KHXbjAdtDY7W8ox3EcQNJm4ucaAsaWEALw_wcB+SIGN UP TO THE WORKING HARD NEWSLETTER: https://graceb.myflodesk.com/k0sfhlac34+FOLLOW THE PODCASTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/workinghardpod/?hl=enTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@workinghardpodcast?lang=en+DILEMMA SUBMISSIONIf you'd like to submit any dilemmas to the podcast to be answered in the bonus episodes, please send them to podcast@grace-beverley.com with the subject beginning DILEMMAS or DM us @workinghardpod on instagram!+MY LINKS: https://gracebeverley.komi.io/+RETROGRADE, SHREDDY, TALA and THE PRODUCTIVITY METHOD are my own businesses, therefore any mention of them - whilst not being a sponsorship - is monetarily endorsed.
