Welcome to Born into This! 

Periods. Puberty. Pregnancy. Birth. Born Into This is on a mission to revolutionize our relationship to reproductive health and justice.

From challenging the patriarchy to navigating night sweats, understanding our reproductive health connects us to our bodies. It influences how we see the world, how we see ourselves—and even how others see us.

Simply put, this podcast is a view into our lives as moms, social entrepreneurs, and best friends who hold nothing back.
