In this episode, Rachael sits down with scientist, mom, and writer Dr. Liz Marnik to talk about one of the most emotionally charged topics in modern parenting: vaccines.

  • How anxiety and fear influence parents’ vaccine decision-making
  • What’s really in vaccines—and why it’s safe
  • Debunking myths: autism, immune overload, and the "too many too soon" idea
  • Why measles is more dangerous than most people realize
  • Understanding herd immunity and who it protects
  • Why misinformation spreads faster than facts—and how to pause before sharing
