Where I Get My Facts (Because Google Isn’t Always Your Friend)

Here’s the thing: I love a juicy conversation about our bodies, but I also believe in backing it up with real facts from people who’ve spent years studying them. Every article you read here is built on a mix of personal experience, real-world stories, and evidence-based research from trusted health organizations, medical journals, and licensed professionals.

This means you can read, learn, and giggle knowing I’m not just pulling this stuff out of thin air or worse, from a random Facebook comment section. Science first, sass second.

Because Sometimes You Need More Than a Blog Post

I’m here to make women’s health feel open, honest, and a little daring, but I’m not your doctor, and sometimes you need answers right now. That’s where these amazing organizations come in. Whether you have a question about birth control, your mental health, your cycle, pregnancy, or just something your body is doing that feels off, these are the people you can reach out to, no shame, no judgment.

Think of them as your on-call support squad: trained health educators, medical professionals, and compassionate listeners who actually get it. So, if you ever find yourself wondering, “Is this normal?”—click, call, or text one of them. Your body deserves answers.
