Ep 8 • Inner Teen Confession: I Believed Taking "the Pill" at 14yo was a Rite of Passage

A bit more of a personal share for this ep, about some "ouch" thoughts & feels that rose to the surface recently in regards to my relationship with the Pill (aka oral hormonal contraception).

In a world in which we're so disconnected from our Rites of Passage as females (birth, menarche, pregnancy, menopause, death), little teenage Karinda was looking for meaning & womanly "worthiness" in a pharmaceutical drug that shut off her menstrual cycles & hormone production. How ironic that in looking to feel like more of a woman, I was shutting off the precise biology that is the source of my feminine power.

In this share, I'm processing some of my grief for this past self & debunking the "logic" of putting a whole generation of girls onto synthetic hormones.

"Putting a teenager on hormonal birth control for irregular periods is like taking a sledgehammer to a tiny screw"
