Pop some bottles for episode 10!!!!! Thanks for joining our journey ❤️🔥
Today’s topic has nothing to do with hormones but is still important to talk about: feminism!
In the 1920s it was illegal for women in the Soviet Union to not work, while in the Netherlands it was way more common to be a housewife. It’s funny how you experience things differently based on where and how you grew up. From having many female role models to only having a handful (like Wilhelmina Drucker): this is feminism the episode.
Hey ya skincare girlies!! Today’s episode is about all the skincare that we’re using. Want to have links? Ask us! Xx
Did you know (dear listeners) that the morning after pill is a Dutch invention? As you can hear, Dionne is very proud of her country’s heritage as she tells about the history of the morning after pill. Yelena shares some (not fun but) ‘fun’ facts and learns us how the morning after pill works.
We all have our reasons to use or not use hormonal contraception, and that is totally fine. In this episode we tell you about the research that we found regarding the effects on your body (especially your brain).
Seek professional advise if you want to reconsider the anti conception you are using. 🤍
