Women's Health Untangled: What Your OB/GYN Wants You to Know
There's so much about our own bodies we're never taught to ask about — until we're already in it. This week, Dr. Alina Fuchs and Dr. Katarzyna Perlman of Boro Park OB/GYN join Pod by Pen for an honest conversation about fertility, postpartum recovery, and perimenopause — the parts of women's health that too often go unspoken. They're joined by Penina Chakov of Modern Remedies Pharmacy, whose company now partners with the practice, for a candid look at how care is evolving and what it means to advocate for your own health. From cycle myths to hormone shifts to what's actually changing in modern women's medicine, this is the conversation we wish someone had handed us years ago.For Sponsorships & Inquiries:podbypen@gmail.comFollow: @podbypen @penkunstler

Micky Klein: Rebuilding Confidence
There’s a version of success that looks right from the outside and still leaves you empty — and Micky Klein knows that feeling intimately. This week, the confidence and lifestyle consultant behind More By Me joins Pod by Pen to talk about the cycle she kept living inside, the season that changed everything, and what it actually took to become someone new. Micky opens up about leaving behind the identity she’d built, learning to trust herself again, and what she now teaches women every day about carrying themselves with confidence. This one’s a masterclass in reinvention — for anyone who’s ever felt like they were performing a life instead of living one.Follow Micky: @more_by.me For sponsorships & inquiries:podbypen @gmail.com Follow for more: @penkunstler @podbypen
