DAMN, I wish I learned this in school. ⁠
⁠
Whe

DAMN, I wish I learned this in school. ⁠
⁠
When I had my first relationship at 16, I was so terrified of becoming pregnant. ⁠
⁠
And although I learned NOTHING about how to have enjoyable, healthy, deeply connected sex from school or my elders, I did learn that… ⁠
⁠
If you have penetrative sex with partner with a penis, you get pregnant. ⁠
⁠
So I did everything in my power to avoid that, including taking three different brands of the pill + morning after pills even when I was ALREADY taking birth control. ⁠
⁠
I think back to my younger days and often feel a deep sadness for the ways in which I was misinformed and miseducated by a system so rooted in fear, rather than FACTS. ⁠
⁠
Because the truth is - you’re not fertile every day of the month! ⁠
⁠
Actually, there’s only a 5 - 6-day window called your “fertile window” where you’re most likely to pregnant.
⁠
That’s right 5 - 6 days. The 5 days leading up to ovulation and the 24 hours after you ovulate when the egg is still viable for conception. ⁠Sperm can live inside the womb for 7 days - do the math.
⁠
I think back to teenage Usha, pumping her body full of synthetic hormones and unable to fully tap into the power of her sexuality because of the fear that shrowded sex…⁠
⁠
And I have PROMISED myself, that I will do EVERYTHING in my power during this lifetime to make this education more available so that my story is the last of its kind.⁠
⁠
What if instead of placing fear inside of our children, we EDUCATED them?
⁠
Maybe you didn’t learn this in school, but I believe - it’s never too late. ⁠And let’s be clear, this post is not denouncing the importance of contraceptive methods to protect against unwanted pregnancy, rather encouraging you to step outside the fear-based education model and truly choose what’s right for yourself.In case you need support on that journey... I created an online, self-paced course to support you in becoming literate in the language of your body and reclaiming the power of menstruation.⁠

I know I’m not alone when I say I’ve felt the

I know I’m not alone when I say I’ve felt the pressure to be constantly busy working on my business.⁠
⁠
In the early years of Womben Wellness, I often felt shame and guilt when I would take pauses or moments of rest. ⁠
⁠
It’s almost expected that what we do has to overcome us, and if we aren’t producing, creating and serving - then what are we doing?⁠
⁠
But this way of thinking goes against not only our cyclical nature but also our femininity too.⁠
⁠
While we’re working so hard to produce, who’s looking after us? ⁠
⁠
And that’s only sustainable for so long before we’re unable to produce anything.⁠
⁠
But I don’t want you to have to feel like that is your only option. Because it’s NOT.⁠
⁠
There’s a way you can create and produce sustainably and I want to show you how…⁠
⁠
On the blog this week I’m breaking down the societal teaching that our self-worth is valued by our productivity.⁠

This work doesn’t always feel full of love and light.⁠
⁠
It doesn’t always feel Instagram worthy or even explainable with words.⁠
⁠
The womb is dark. ⁠
⁠
It’s our job to find the light.⁠
⁠
But we don’t find it by running, hiding, or denying our darkness.⁠
⁠
It’s up to us to dig our hands into the rich soil of our own inner being and unearth the teachings sourced from that darkness.⁠
⁠
Can we ever be ‘masters’ of our own inner experience? Can we ever be “experts” in anything?⁠
⁠
Or are we simply here, in this fragile, fleshy form as students, humble apprentices on the path.⁠
⁠
I know that I am always, forever, eternally a student of my womb.⁠
⁠
Womb work is “in”, it’s “trendy”.⁠
⁠
Rightly so - we need this work. But keep your eyes peeled for the teachers that emit the depth, the realness, the authenticity that it truly takes to walk this path.⁠
⁠
In these times and as always, discernment is needed.⁠

We just LOVE getting feedback like this. See what

We just LOVE getting feedback like this. See what one of our wonderful Inner Circle members has to say about our global sisterhood...⁠
⁠
"I wanted to thank you for the inner circle yesterday and I also wanted to testify that the revolution is happening. Not only am I feeling better thanks to you, my sister also told me yesterday that she started listening to her womb recently, because apparently I can't talk about anything else lately, so she gave it a go. This has since resulted in a regular bleed, while previously her period had gone missing. So thank you so so much, for showing us the way back to ourselves. Lots of love"⁠

The quality of our community has a huge impact on

The quality of our community has a huge impact on the quality of our own healing. ⁠
⁠
I felt so incredibly isolated while growing up in the United States. ⁠
⁠
I had no sense of community other than my own 4 person nuclear family, and I didn’t realize how much I was craving a spiritual community until I found it.⁠
⁠
Now, when I sit in circle with dozens of womben from all around the world who have gathered for our in-person trainings, I feel like I found a part of myself that I didn’t even know was lost…⁠
⁠
A part of myself that so deeply wants to sing, to share, to see and be seen, to be heard and to listen… A part of me that knows, we can’t do everything alone. ⁠
⁠
A part of me that knows, WE NEED EACH OTHER. ⁠
⁠
In these crazy times, I’ve often felt isolated and alone.⁠
⁠
Then I hop online and read the incredible posts from badass wise womben from all over the world sharing about their experiences with fertility, menstruation, birth control, pregnancy loss, sexuality, pleasure, womb health, and more… ⁠
⁠
And I’m reminded that although gathering may look different right now - we’re never alone. ⁠

And this affects us, A LOT!
⁠
Don’t be fooled

And this affects us, A LOT!
⁠
Don’t be fooled. Although women are educated to believed that progestIN can balance progestERONE, they’re not the same thing.⁠
⁠
Progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone that rules the premenstrual phase of the cycle (the luteal phase) and also plays a major role in conception and pregnancy. Progesterone is a diuretic, natural anti-depressant, and supports us in managing mood swings + getting adequate sleep.
⁠
Progestins are a SYNTHETIC form of the body’s naturally produced hormone progesterone.Most older, cheaper brands of the pill (like the ones given to people for a discounted rate or to people on state insurance) contain progestins sourced from nandrolone, a close relative of testosterone that can lead to the development of typically male characteristics.❗️According to @BBC, only 17% of women in the US take a combined pill that includes anti-androgens.⁠❗️
⁠
What does this mean?⁠
⁠
Androgens receptors are located all over the body, specifically in the sweat glands and hair follicles, which is perhaps one of the reasons that so many women find themselves sweatier, hairier, and maybe even smellier after taking pills with progestins made from androgenic hormones.⁠
⁠
But this isn’t the only thing that these pills change, studies show that these powerful androgenic hormones are also affecting women’s brains, transforming them to look much more like a typical male brain.⁠
⁠
When I was on the pill years ago, I KNEW something was up.Sadly for me, none of this science was here to back up my intuition - I had to go it alone, trusting my gut instinct and observing the changes in my body I finally kicked the pill to the curb.⁠That’s why I wrote an entire blog about it - so you can educate yourself as to whether or not the pill is right for you.And if you’re ready to transition off, this blog gives you three easy steps to do it.Link in bio to continue reading ❤️

Hands up who's been told the pill + other hormonal

Hands up who's been told the pill + other hormonal contraceptives will balance out your normal hormone function?⁠
⁠
It's a common line we've been fed at doctors appointments around the world...⁠
⁠
But this week on the blog I'm breaking down how hormones don’t ACTUALLY balance your hormones, but suppress their natural function- check the link in bio to read more...⁠

I can still remember running my hands through my hair and watching chunks of it falling to the floor.⁠
⁠
I recall the horror of waking up in the morning and looking at my previously pristine glowing skin, now covered in inflamed cystic acne that spread all over my jaw and chin.⁠
⁠
My digestion seemed to change overnight. Suddenly, I found myself doubling over in pain after almost every meal.⁠
⁠
According to my Doctors, what I was experiencing were “normal” symptoms for someone taking the pill.⁠
⁠
And then I decided to stop taking it.⁠
⁠
That moment was palpable, potent and life-changing.⁠
⁠
I decided, enough was enough – it was time to take my power BACK.⁠
⁠
Now I want to share some of the tools I used to detox my body, reconnect to my cycle, and remember my wholeness.⁠
⁠
Because I know this isn’t just my story.⁠
