Episode #31: Is Your Birth Control Controlling You?
While prepping this episode, I decided to record an outline to see how it would unfold. The following day, I listened to the audio that included a few minutes of an annoying leaf blower, eventually becoming a fiery muse for today's fiery podcast.
The audio hit home and felt like a culmination of conversations with clients over the years of challenging symptoms they experienced yet didn't associate with their contraceptives. I'd frequently hear tales of low libido, lack of desire for intimacy, sense of flatness, unexplained anxiety, depression– "Meg, I'm just not feeling like me."
Many women have been on hormonal contraceptives for 5, 10, 15, 20 years without ever authentically experiencing the natural rhythm of their own hormones off the pill. I'm not referring to PMS but the incredible and powerful dance of estrogen, testosterone, and progesterone that is an integral part of a woman's being, creativity, psyche, and much more.
What if YOUR hormones could be a vehicle, a tool to assist you in accessing a deeper connection to your sexual drive, creativity, intuition, inner strength- your soul's journey? What if your cycle is a metaphor for what you can give birth to each and everything day, month, and year of your life? And, what would it be like to consider a non-hormonal contraceptive method or device that could be as effective as your birth control without all the side effects?
Please join me today as we take a deep dive into some challenging hormonal terrain that may ruffle your feathers, possibly re-think your birth control options and assist you in rediscovering YOU off synthetic hormones.
