When was the last time you felt truly seen, heard, and supported in a doctor’s office? For millions of women, the answer isn’t simple.  Reproductive rights advocate and OB-GYN PA-C Nikki Vinckier explores the gaps, biases, and systemic challenges in women’s healthcare. She joins host Cathy O'Brien to share her journey from clinician to national advocate, the inspiration behind her upcoming book We Deserve More, and the mission of her organization, Take Back Trust—empowering women to navigate reproductive healthcare with knowledge, confidence, and agency. Together, they discuss trauma-informed care, miscarriage, menopause, reproductive health myths, and how women can advocate not only for themselves but for their friends and communities.What You’ll Learn: - Trauma-informed gynecology and systemic gaps in care- How reproductive healthcare intersects with politics and social justice- Misconceptions about abortion, miscarriage, and contraception- Preparing for appointments and advocating for your own healthResources :Take Back Trust: @takebacktrustTimestamps: 00:00 The Importance of Reproductive Healthcare06:50 Nikki's Journey in Reproductive Health11:31 Understanding Trauma-Informed Care15:57 Take Back Trust: Empowering Women24:14 The Release of 'We Deserve More'30:08 Building Community Through Knowledge44:48 Trusting Yourself in HealthcareSUBSCRIBE: YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@UC13tfnPU0OHsNxmMXSs6saw Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2TQtov8ByjgieslPS5B1IM Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/inside-the-wellspace-women-wellbeing-wisdom-with/id1812799800Visit The Well Space for Women: https://www.insidethewellspace.com/ Follow along on Instagram: @thewellspaceforwomen https://www.instagram.com/thewellspaceforwomen/
