Summary: This week, we've got another way to yay full of twists and turns ending up nowhere our guest thought she'd be but exactly where she was meant to be. Nicole Liu started out on the very conventional "finance-y" pathway, climbing, (much like me) a ladder she thought she was genuinely passionate about. That was until a misdiagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome and the similarly inaccurate news that she was necessarily infertile threw her world upside down and opened her eyes to the difficulty of wading through information on women's health and how alone many of us feel trying to navigate it. Her experience led her to leave corporate to start her wonderful business, Kin Fertility, with the goal of raising standards for women's reproductive health and opening up the heavily stigmatised conversation around fertility. I am continually baffled by how even a chronic oversharer of a modern woman like me can have lasted as long as I did without knowing much at all about my cycle or the fundamentals of hormones and fertility (especially being adopted!!) and loved chatting to Nicole about blazing a trail in the industry and opening up the dialogue. As the first of many services that Kin will offer, they currently run Australia's first pill prescription service with the contraceptive pill being delivered to your door, letting you ditch the in-person doctor's appointment, without compromising quality healthcare. I'm so excited for what else is to come and also loved her advice (which I have thus far been unable to offer anecdotally) on getting immigrant parents on board with a big move away from the stability of a corporate career, so for those asking, Nicole's got your answer!
