Person with a period is a segment on social media therapy, a podcast centered on explaining how our minds work on social media and destigmatizing mental health. With the recent overturning a Roe vs Wade, the implications for people with a period are far-reaching. The purpose of this segment on the podcast are to share the stories of those who have sought out an abortion or had an abortion and continuing to destigmatize abortions.

This segment on the podcast serves as a platform for others to share their abortion stories and to help further the goal of bringing back safe, affordable abortion care for people with a period everywhere.

A lack of abortion access directly affects our economical, mental, emotional, and physical lives. Eliminating safe, affordable abortion care disproportionately affects black women, people in poor regions, people in rural regions, and other minority groups like Latinx, Asian, and more.

If you have an abortion story that you would like to share, please go to the link in my bio and fill out the form for “People with a Period.” From there I’ll schedule a 30 minute conversation where you will have 30 minutes to share your abortion story. This is an open call to women, transgender persons, and young women Who have had to come face-to-face with choosing abortion.
