Reinvention and Intuition with Isabella Rossellini
In this episode of GynoCurious, Dr. Amy Novatt welcomes the multi-talented Isabella Rossellini to the show. The conversation kicks off with Isabella telling us about the inspiration behind the establishment of Mama Farm in 2013; her regenerative farm, Bed and Breakfast, and events venue in Brookhaven, N.Y. She speaks of her Italian heritage and how this informed her of the importance of locally grown foods, eating healthy and creating community around the earth and her bounty. On the farm she focuses on heritage breeds and heirloom seeds. As an Ethologist, she observes and continues to learn about animal behaviors raising her chickens, sheep, bees and other assorted animals on the farm. Amy and Isabella then pivot and explore the themes of reinvention and intuition, especially as they pertain to the roles of women in society. Isabella shares personal anecdotes about her own process of reinvention, from her early ambitions and careers as a model and actress to then directing films. After opportunities in these areas diminished in her fourth decade, Isabella went back to school to study Ethology, the study of animal behavior. And then in her 6th and 7th decades her work as an actress and model had a resurgence, establishing herself again as a woman of great talent and beauty. Both speakers discuss the importance of trusting one's intuition in various life situations, whether in personal health, professional endeavors, or navigating societal expectations. Isabella’s story is not just about her achievements but is a testament to resilience and adaptability in the face of societal pressures and personal challenges. Questions of comments?

Su GynoCurious

Welcome Gynocurious listeners, I am Dr. Amy Novatt, board certifiecd ob-gyn, your host of GynoCurious. With each program we are going to explore the experience of being an ob-gyn, the science that guides our practices and the stories women- cis, trans and nonbinary, have shared as they seek health and wellness. From both sides of the speculum we will investigate what it means to be a healer and to be healed. I have been reflecting on 32 plus years of practice; thinking about all that I have learned, heard and thought about and wanted to bring it to a larger audience. This will not be a medical show that tells you how much estrogen you should take or the scientific method used to evaluate data but instead, a conversation about the larger canvas looking at what its like to be a medical professional working with women and how patients experience the world of ob-gyn. What is it like sitting in the exam room with a thin sheet of paper covering your naked body? What has been the impact of a cancer diagnosis? What it is like to go through the menopause?….These are just a few examples of conversations I hope to bring to you. My intention is not to expose my patients personal histories but rather use their stories as stepping stones to explore many aspects of our bodies, our psyches and the landscape of the medical world. In a time when most of us are frustrated by the American medical system; with the challenges of limited access, financial limitations, gender and racial discrepancies in care, the insurance morass and a host of other hurdles; my hope is that GynoCurious creates a community of guests and listeners that bring us all closer- to openly explore and understand the experience of illness and health and to break open decades of silence, misunderstanding and shame for having a vagina. We are going to talk about our fears, sexual explorations and aging adventures with respect, inquiry and science. For me, knowledge and awareness brings awe, authority and autonomy.
