Aflevering How A Female Founder Helps Women Take Charge Of Their Fertility With Sabrina Nowicki | Ep. 153

Most fertility apps look at your past cycles and make a prediction. Sabrina Nowicki built something different. Sabrina is co-founder of Cyclisity, the digital companion to Taking Charge of Your Fertility — the bestselling book written by her aunt, Toni Weschler.
