Welcome to Perelel Lives, a podcast where we learn about the tireless yet vibrantly challenging role the women we admire most live in parallel to their careers and personal pursuits: becoming and being a mom.
We live in a society that glamorizes and celebrates women‘s careers, the companies they’ve built, and the movements they’ve created. But, what we’ve failed to highlight is a facet of their lives that is far more personal—a side that presents perhaps the hardest, but most rewarding job of all—a job with no PTO, no holiday breaks, no sick days, and no salary. Oh, and it also lasts a lifetime: motherhood. Here, we have real conversations about motherhood. (Not another parenting podcast.)

Today's episode is with our dear friend and one of the original influencers and digital entrepreneurs, Geri Hirsch. We talked about her fertility journey, loss and lessons learned, and how she took a more central role in her own health journey. She shared the lessons she found most valuable from working with a doula—and how you can do them yourselves at home—and why she's leaning into cultivating a slower but fuller life outside of the city.
