About this episode
The episode discusses personal experiences with birth control, hormones, and women's health topics.
Today on Always Here, we’re talking all things birth control, hormones, periods, and the women’s health conversations we wish we’d had sooner. We share our experiences coming off birth control, navigating family planning, what we were taught growing up (and what we definitely weren’t), and some surprising things we’ve learned about our bodies along the way. We also chat about cycle tracking, “pull and pray,” period misconceptions, hormone health, and why we’re rethinking the way we want to talk to our daughters about their periods.
