The Fearless Future Podcast By The Guiding Star Project
At The Guiding Star Project, we have a vision of a future where no woman fears pregnancy. We make this a reality though education, community and healthcare solutions at our physical centers across America!
We have so much to say on this topic that we are excited to share that we are launching a LIVE podcast, The Fearless Future Podcast, where weekly, Lisa Canning and Leah A Jacobson, will host a candid conversation LIVE via Facebook and YouTube to tackle topics related to women’s health and empowerment. The live show will then be available for listening anywhere you love to listen to podcasts, like Apple iTunes, Stitcher, and more.
Join us every Monday at 11am East / 10am Central / 9am Mountain / 8am Pacific for your weekly dose of encouragement and empowerment so a future where no woman fears pregnancy can become a reality.
