On today's episode, we are bringing out a woman's personal story about voluntary sterlization as a form of permenant birth control out into the open with all the nitty-gritty details. Rae (She/Her) vulnerably discloses her experience obtaining the procedure and decision making process proudly and without shame. Together we talk about what a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy surgey is, how she found the information to obtain the procedure, and what the recovery process actually looked like for her.
