Miscarriage, Texas, and Being Mouthy as Hell with Cosmetic Mogul Marlena Stell

What happens when the law decides your body is no longer yours—even in a life-or-death situation? YouTube pioneer and founder of Makeup Geek Cosmetics, Marlena Stell, found herself trapped in a legal and medical nightmare after two miscarriages turned into abortions she was denied—because of where she lived. And it nearly cost her life.

In this unfiltered and urgent conversation, Marlena shares:

• [08:30] The moment she realized she was trapped in Texas’s new abortion laws
• [14:45] Walking around feeling like a “coffin” while waiting to miscarry
• [22:10] The horrifying ER experience that nearly killed her
• [34:00] The impossible choices women face in states with restrictive laws
• [42:15] Why simply "going to another state" isn’t a real solution
• [49:00] How she’s using her platform to break the silence
