BCN+Fértil #03 – FERTILIDAD DE LARGO RADIO: cuando volar alto también es abrir camino | Savina Paül

In this episode of BCN+Fértil, we talk with Savina Paül, an Airbus 330 pilot, about her career in commercial aviation and how to build a career in a highly technical environment where precision, composure, and decision-making are part of the daily routine. Savina shares her first steps as a pilot, the natural phases that any aviation professional goes through, the importance of teamwork, and how experience gradually replaces initial fear. We also discuss female representation in the sector and how normalization, rather than advocacy, can open doors for future generations. The conversation also addresses a key topic: the relationship between aviation and fertility. Savina explains with complete transparency how pregnancy means temporarily ceasing to fly, what this break entails in such a regulated profession, and why information on fertility preservation can be a useful tool for planning for the future with peace of mind. A close and realistic dialogue about professional growth, health, prevention, and how to find balance in a demanding career without sacrificing personal projects. A guided conversation led by Dr. Pilar Carrillo, a fertility specialist and gynecologist at Barcelona IVF. ► Subscribe and turn on notifications here: /@barcelonaivf ► FOLLOW US also on: 📸 Instagram: https://barcelonaivf.com/instagram 🎧 Spotify: https://barcelonaivf.com/spotify 🌐 Official Website: https://barcelonaivf.com ► CHAPTER INDEX: 00:00 Introduction 01:25 Who is Savina Paül? 03:09 Childhood and the first steps to becoming a pilot 17:39 Female representation in aviation 20:44 The responsibility of being in command 24:18 Challenging flights and lessons learned 27:01 Parallels between aviation and life 32:20 The advice to freeze eggs 35:13 Communicating and promoting the profession 38:57 Youth and professionalism 41:36 Understanding turbulence 44:31 Medical emergencies on board 46:52 “I don’t have routines” 50:00 What is a fertile mind according to Savina Paül 52:10 Dreams yet to be fulfilled 53:00 Farewell #WomenWhoMakeTheWorldGrow #BCNFertile #BarcelonaIVF #LongHaulFertility #SavinaPaul #WomenInAviation #ReproductiveHealth #FertilityPreservation #FertileMind #AssistedReproduction #PilotWomen #GenderEquality
