Did you know that 40-60% of the population has the MTHFR gene mutation? This genetic anomaly could be linked to miscarriages & postnatal depression - issues affecting millions of women worldwide. And is Folic Acid doing more harm than good?

In this raw and inspiring episode, I invite my husband, Adam, to co-host as we sit down with Steph and Will, the visionary founders of Asklé, for a heartfelt couple-to-couple conversation.

Building a business as a mum can be HARD—there’s no denying that. You’re juggling a lot, and it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.
