'Don't just conform go with your instinct' trusting your gut instinct is one of the topics the fabulous Dr Rachel Mackey talks about on this episode of A Little Foresight.

Rachel is a true wealth of knowledge and expertise in the area of Womens Health and kindly gives loads of brilliant (and free!!) advice to us on the podcast. She has worked in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in Ireland and Australia for over 20 years. She's a no BS, gives you full and sometimes frank details about your health style of Doctor which I love, I find it both refreshing and helpful as someone who has had many Womens Health issues which have often either been dismissed, minimised, ignored, misdiagnosed or incorrectly explained to me. She runs the Womens Health Clinic in Dun Laoghaire, is a mum of 4 wonderful children, has a fierce competitive streak and is very funny.

Rachel talks about career, family, life and Womens Health. She tells us how in relation to fertility it is very important to both know your options and also relax. To know your options and get informed.

She talks about how different it was for her male counterparts when she was first training but how she thankfully feels that has slightly evened out and also how she wouldn't worry as much about things and to release control a bit as in the end she went down a different path entirely to what she thought in both her career and personal life.

Before I even recorded my first episode of A Little Foresight I had asked Rachel to have a chat with me on it, actually it was even before I had fully settled on the exact format and theme. Then after my first episode where I spoke about what I would tell my younger self I had a huge amount of reaction from many women in relation to the areas of Womens Health that I discussed so it cemented even further to me how much I wanted to have her on.
