Women’s Bodies: Why the HELL is This Still A Mystery?

With the war that is raging over healthcare and women’s rights to have agency over the private choices that they make with their healthcare providers, we realize that our listeners want to talk about these issues more.  Women of all ages are frustrated and outraged at the lack of care, the cost of care, and the poor quality of care. Even more than that, the research and education on women’s biology and physiology - how our bodies actually function - has been atrociously underfunded, leaving us without answers, living in mystery.

What WE know, is that when we talk about these things and bring them into the open with each other, we open up doors for women to talk to one other in their real-life circles, which helps open up doors for those women to reach out to talk to others in their lives.  Even just in the last few years of doing this show, we’ve had so many women in our lives tell us that they learned something that they shared with someone else who then talked with their healthcare provider.

Harper asked her followers on BlueSky this question:  When you reflect back - what were you uninformed or misinformed about in regards to your body at any stage of life? and got some astounding responses.  So in this episode, we’re going to talk about just a sampling of things that we never learned about our bodies, and share some of the responses from Harper's question on BlueSky, and a few other stories we’ve heard along the way.

I have no doubt that you can add your own story to this episode, and we want to hear it!
