## Resource

You likely already know Heidi Murkoff - she is the author of the internationally bestselling What to Expect series of pregnancy and parenting guides, which includes What to Expect When You're Expecting. (And knowing how beloved this book is, it probably comes as no surprise that this popular book has sold over 40 million copies in 42 languages). It goes without saying that I am beyond honored to have her join me today as the guest on The Egg Whisperer Show. In this conversation, we're talking about what inspired Heidi to write the first What to Expect When You're Expecting, her community of 20 million moms, the non profit she founded that helps at-risk moms, and what's changed since the book first came out 25 years ago. Time magazine named Heidi one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World for 2011, and she and her husband Erik have received numerous awards for their humanitarian work, including, in June of 2022, the highest award given to civilians by the department of defense, the Fisher Distinguished Civilian Humanitarian award.
