Today’s episode is a fiery one! Buckle up for a history lesson and counter-narrative to the lies multiple generations of women have been sold.
We as women have been conditioned to be ashamed of and even afraid of our bodies. Sisters, it’s time to circle up, have open dialogue about all aspects of our health, fertility and the cultural ideologies that have held us back.
Would it surprise you to learn that pretty much all of what’s been deemed normal by modern Obstetrics, including the naming of many of women’s body parts, was instituted by men?
Back in March, the Washington Post published an article titled “Women are getting off birth control amid misinformation explosion”. Long story short, a bunch of MDs, commentators & so called “health care” professionals trying to discredit the idea that hormonal birth control could have any negative impact on women’s physical or mental health, or their future fertility.
As someone who’s never been on hormonal birth control, I can’t speak to this from personal experience. So I invited a special guest to do so herself.
Joining me is Dr. Charity Lenhoff, a Women’s Health Chiropractor and Pelvic Floor Specialist from Tucson, AZ. Dr. Charity serves at The Source Chiropractic, as well as her own practice, Awakened Wombs, which focuses on holistic, empowered women’s health care.
Dr. Charity bravely shares parts of her personal journey that are all too common for women- her struggle with self-confidence, silencing of her voice, and disconnection from her womb space due to years of hormonal birth control.
Our conversation ends with a beautiful account of Dr. Charity’s decision to get off birth control and reconnect with her voice, her sacred womb space, and herself.
I hope this episode leaves you with a sense of hope and curiosity about yourself, your feminine soul, your body and your healing potential- without relying on synthetic drugs or any external authority.
