Hosted by Dr. Ariella Heffernan-Marks, Iโm Listening with Dr Ariella is a space where women are heard and believed, through honest, unfiltered conversations with patients, researchers, and advocates.

Iโm Listening with Dr Ariella makes space for deeply personal stories โ of delayed diagnoses, normalised pain, and being sidelined in your own care. We explore the emotional toll of being dismissed, the resilience it takes to self-advocate, and how systemic bias in healthcare affects everything from menstrual health to autoimmune diagnoses.
We shine a spotlight on the researchers, clinicians, and scientists reshaping whatโs possible in womenโs health. From advancing diagnostics to rethinking care models, these voices show us what it really looks like to close the gap between what women need, and what the system delivers.


Ovum is shaped by the people who use it. We hear directly from users about how the app supports their health journeys โ helping them track patterns, feel informed, and advocate for themselves with confidence. Alongside these stories, we share updates on feature releases, user requests, and the thinking behind key product decisions. Itโs a transparent, collaborative process thatโs grounded in listening and learning.
Change in womenโs health doesnโt happen in clinics alone โ itโs driven by voices across policy, education, media, and beyond. We highlight the work of those pushing for better awareness, stronger protections, and broader access to care.
