Nicole Liu // Next of Kin Fertility

Published: May 27, 2020, 2:55 a.m.

b'This week, we\\u2019ve got another way to yay full of twists and turns ending up nowhere our guest thought she\\u2019d be but exactly where she was meant to be. Nicole Liu started out on the very conventional \\u201cfinance-y\\u201d pathway, climbing, (much like me) a ladder she thought she was genuinely passionate about.\\n\\nThat was until a misdiagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome and the similarly inaccurate news that she was necessarily infertile threw her world upside down and opened her eyes to the difficulty of wading through information on women\\u2019s health and how alone many of us feel trying to navigate it. Her experience led her to leave corporate to start her wonderful business, Kin Fertility, with the goal of raising standards for women\\u2019s reproductive health and opening up the heavily stigmatised conversation around fertility.\\n\\nI am continually baffled by how even a chronic oversharer of a modern woman like me can have lasted as long as I did without knowing much at all about my cycle or the fundamentals of hormones and fertility (especially being adopted!!) and loved chatting to Nicole about blazing a trail in the industry and opening up the dialogue. As the first of many services that Kin will offer, they currently run Australia\\u2019s first pill prescription service with the contraceptive pill being delivered to your door, letting you ditch the in-person doctor\\u2019s appointment, without compromising quality healthcare. I\\u2019m so excited for what else is to come and also loved her advice (which I have thus far been unable to offer anecdotally) on getting immigrant parents on board with a big move away from the stability of a corporate career, so for those asking, Nicole\\u2019s got your answer!
