The Female Flow

Today, my friend Lena and I delve into the intricacies of Eastern and Western medicine. Lena talks about how getting a hysterectomy pulled her out of the holistic extremism she found herself in, and why living a nuanced life has improved her overall wellbeing. We explore what it was like for her to make this life-changing decision and discuss ways we can support other women facing similar health issues. To know Lena is to love her—and I'm confident that everyone who tunes in this week will feel the same.
