So many of you wanted to know about the test we talked about in the Hailey Bieber episode, so this week on @shemdpodcast we have the founder and chief medical officer of @seraprognostics on to talk about the PreTRM test.
This is truly such an important episode for all women who are pregnant, or are trying to get pregnant, to understand the different complications during pregnancy.
Every women deserves to know her risk of preterm birth, before it happens 🤍
Our May cover story celebrates two incredible ladies creating real change for women everywhere. ✨
Brentwood resident @haneyofficial and @drthaisaliabadi are building a powerful platform through @shemdpodcast —bringing honest conversations around women’s health into the spotlight and helping women feel seen, informed and empowered. 💛
The podcast has featured remarkable guests including @oliviamunn , @kimkardashian , @florencepugh , @sofiagrainge and @haileybieber —with a special Mother’s Day episode featuring @krisjenner launching this weekend.
Alongside the podcast, they also created @oviihealth , a science-backed supplement designed to support women dealing with PCOS, hormonal imbalance and metabolic health.
So honored to feature these inspiring women on the cover of our May Women’s Issue. ✨
a very special Mother's Day episode this week on @shemdpodcast with @krisjenner 🤍 we really had a raw, emotional, & deeply insightful conversation. You are going to LOVE IT!!!
I am so proud of these two @mclainlarson@michaelcohen08@fosterfinancialsfoundation for winning the @curtis.school alumni grant for their incredible foundation. ❤️❤️❤️❤️In the summer of 2025, McLain Larson founded Foster Financials after years of working directly with foster youth and equity-driven initiatives for children experiencing housing insecurity. What Larson witnessed was a pattern too troubling to ignore: too many foster youth were aging out of the system without the financial knowledge or mentorship needed to succeed.
Statistics told the story—60% of foster youth exit the system at or below the poverty line, 50% face unemployment within five years, and 25% experience homelessness in their first four years of emancipation.
Believing these were structural flaws in urgent need of reform, Larson also recognized that immediate support was critical. That summer, he created the first Foster Financials Literacy Curriculum by sitting down with soon-to-be-emancipated foster youth, documenting their fears, questions, and insecurities about personal finance. The result was the foundation of Foster Financials, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a human-centered mission: to build a community of resources and mentorship that helps foster youth achieve financial independence.
Through workshops, one-on-one counseling, career panels, and scholarships, Foster Financials empowers young adults not only with knowledge, but with the confidence to build secure, independent futures.
In honor of the Met, moments that mattered from our episodes 🤍
Real conversations on trusting yourself, questioning what’s “normal,” and speaking up for your body. Advocating for yourself never goes out of style.
every unexpected turn, has led me to something better 🤍 in times of doubt, I always like to remind myself that the next right thing is just the next right thing.
