Episode 9: How over medicalization of the woman’s body has deepened the sisterhood wound

Over the past century women’s bodies have been over medicalized as a band aid solution to silence our menstrual symptoms and gynecological issues. Yet women’s bodies and hormonal systems are not always taken into consideration in medical research and doctors are not being trained in hormone balancing (listening and investigating root causes). 

So how can we expect women to know and trust their body when those we seek advice from don’t really understand it either? 

The silent hormone epidemic does not only affect our health as women, but it is leaving us confused, self-doubting and judgemental to other women.

I truly believe that because we have been ignored and our experiences have been minimized, we in return have taken this emotional imprinting and added to the sisterhood wound we see in our daily life.

The wound of thinking that other women should push through their symptoms, that we are to not ask for help or rest and that to be valuable and equal we need to sacrifice our health.

In this episode, I will share some of my own lived experience of how I stayed silent for so long in my life and what my big vision is for the future - women holding space for others women to be cyclical and judgment free.

So join me as we unpack how medicine has made us feel broken and how our next womb-led tip of bringing back the felt sense of the red tent can be the first step to healing women, the sisterhood wound, and getting us all back to cyclical living.
