Why do women seem to be so fed up with birth control? I mean, they should just be grateful not to be pregnant, right? Wrong. Recently, a client sent me an article where researchers question the experience of women on birth control and I just had to respond. Maybe your own side effects and experiences have been doubted? Maybe you've been told it's all in your head? Well, that is unacceptable and today's episode dives into why. In this episode we talk about:

• Birth control aspects that women most often complain about
• What some medical professionals say about birth control
• Misinformation about birth control and natural birth control options
• Female empowerment and informed decision making
• What the surge of fertility awareness methods suggests about women
• The power of the female community

NOTE: This episode may not be appropriate for all audiences due to references to libido, condoms, etc.
