Welcome back to another episode of Selfdom. In this deeply personal solo episode, I share my transformative journey since discontinuing hormonal birth control over a year ago. This decision, rooted in a desire to reconnect with my authentic self and understand my body's natural rhythms, has led to profound physical, mental, and emotional changes.

In this episode, I delve into: Reconnecting with Feminine Energy, how stopping the pill allowed me to embrace my natural cycle and its four distinct phases and the empowerment that comes with this awareness. Enhanced Emotional Intimacy, the unexpected growth in my relationship with Tom, including a deeper connection and improved physical intimacy, attributed to hormonal balance and natural ovulation. Mental Clarity and Purpose, experiencing a significant shift in mental fog, leading to a clearer sense of purpose and alignment with my passions and projects. Gut Health and Nutritional Balance, addressing deficiencies and inflammation uncovered through bloodwork, and the steps taken to restore gut health and nutrient absorption. Freedom from Daily Medication, the liberation felt from no longer relying on daily hormonal pills, alleviating associated anxieties and embracing a more natural approach to health.

Whether you're considering discontinuing birth control or curious about its impacts, this episode offers insights and personal reflections that might resonate with your own experiences.
