In this episode of Reproductive Rebel, I’m joined by the luminous Kimberly Spencer of Crown Yourself — a coach, storyteller, and sovereign entrepreneur who knows what it means to rise from the ashes and birth herself anew.
Together we explore the alchemy of creation — how the portal of giving birth to babies and the portal of birthing businesses both demand a sacred shedding, a burning down of what no longer serves, and a courageous becoming on your own terms.
We talk about:
🔥 Why motherhood and entrepreneurship are both initiations into radical self-trust
🌙 How to honor the cycles of death and rebirth in your body and in your business
🌀 The role of surrender in becoming the woman and leader you were born to be
✨ Practical wisdom for creating a business that feels as sacred and alive as giving birth
If you’ve ever felt the tension between motherhood, your body, and the desire to create something bigger than yourself, this conversation will remind you: you are the portal. You are the alchemist. And you get to choose how you birth yourself into the next version of who you’re becoming.

Timelines & Test Tubes: Reclaiming Fertility Beyond The Clock with Tsao-Lin Moy
Season 4 · Episode 44
Tuesday, November 4, 2025 • Duration 01:04:26
We’ve all heard the warnings about the “biological clock.” But what if the way we’ve been taught to think about fertility—and time—isn’t the full story?
In this episode of Reproductive Rebel, we explore the powerful distinction between chronological age and biological age, uncovering how your overall health, stress levels, and lifestyle can shape your reproductive potential far more than a calendar year ever could.
We’ll also take a grounded look at IVF and assisted reproductive technologies—their possibilities, limitations, and the ethical questions they raise about autonomy, access, and how we define family.
This conversation isn’t about pressure. It’s about permission—to understand your body, reclaim your choices, and release the myths that keep women bound to someone else’s timeline.
⸻
In this episode, we explore: •The difference between chronological and biological fertility age •How lifestyle, stress, and environment impact reproductive vitality •The ethical considerations around IVF and reproductive technologies •Cultural narratives that fuel fear and urgency around fertility •A more cyclical, body-led approach to fertility and timing
⸻
Key Takeaway:
Your fertility isn’t defined by a date on the calendar—it’s shaped by the health, energy, and story of your whole being. You are not running out of time. You are in rhythm with it.
⸻
Tune in if you’re: •Feeling anxious about age and fertility •Considering or undergoing IVF •Curious about holistic and ethical fertility approaches •Ready to move from fear to embodied understanding
