Welcome my beautiful friend! Today’s episode of What We Tell Our Daughters is part 1 of a 2-part series on birth control. We will be rolling back the clock and starting at the beginning - How Birth Control Came to Be. If you’re wondering why you should care about the origin story of birth control, you’ll want to listen to this episode. Birth control has a long, not-so-clean history and the story of its beginnings should be told.

If you’ve ever used birth control, thought of using birth control, or are wondering what type of birth control is right for you - you should know who sacrificed to bring us the options we have today.

If you have questions or follow-ups you’d like to hear more about, please comment and I’d love to talk more with you.
