Today, we’re talking to Bri Braggs, the founder of Fertile Alchemy. Bri is a Certified Holistic Health Coach who is passionate about educating women on the importance of preconception health and create a new narrative around their fertility. Bri helps her clients take charge of their fertility and hormonal health, and helps women live more conscious, holistic lifestyles in an approachable, doable way. She has also developed her own Aromatic Oil (make sure you shoot Bri a DM @FertileAlchemy letting her know you tuned in - she’ll give you a special discount code). Currently, Bri is working on expanding her line of products and writing her first book. She is currently enrolled in yoga teacher training and considers herself a “professional” at gluten free and dairy free baking. We had an incredible conversation about fertility and reproductive health for women of color, particularly black women, and know that you are going to find so much value in this episode.   In this episode, we talk about… Common fertility and hormone-related issues for women of color. How to start tracking your cycle to better understand your reproductive health. The spiritual, mental, and emotional aspects of fertility. The disproportionate risk level of pregnancy and birth-related complications for black women, and how we can prevent putting ourselves at risk. Breaking generational patterns. Being a black woman in the wellness space (check out Bri’s Instagram post on the topic here).   RESOURCES: Fertile Alchemy Website: https://www.fertilealchemy.com/ Follow Bri on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fertilealchemy/ Follow Fertile Alchemy on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fertilealchemy/ Follow Fertile Alchemy on Twitter: https://twitter.com/FertileAlchemy Bri’s Aromatic Oil: https://www.fertilealchemy.com/aromaticoil/fertile-alchemy-aromatic-oil (Shoot her a DM letting her know you tuned into the show for a special discount code!)   Join the BBG Community: Join the Balanced Black Girl Community on Facebook.
