Saschan Fearon-Josephs founder of “The womb room” talks to us all about womb healing, which includes and is not limited to: educating and supporting women with reproductive problems, workshops, joining forces with schools and community centres and providing business support to employers who wish to provide a better working environment for women with reproduction problems.
What is endometriosis? “It’s a chronic and debilitating condition that causes painful or heavy periods. It may also lead to infertility, fatigue and bowel and bladder problems. Around 1.5 million women in the UK are currently living with the condition”- www.endometriosis-uk.org
We share our own experiences with our bodies, from painful periods and diagnosis to deciding the range of contraception that’s available and the adverse effects it had. We also discussed Saschan’s experience in a gynaecological ward at the age of 19, and it’s nothing short of shocking. Navigating the dating world alone is a trip, but also having a chronic gynaecological illness makes it that more complex.
This episode is therapy, for those who are fertile, infertile or for those going through health problems. It’s a delicate topic, but we’re so glad to open up this conversation.
As a collective, we should aim to take away shame and guilt. This patriarchal society has conditioned us to keep our stories closed, and out of sight. It’s okay to take a break.
