Episode 161: What You Don’t Know About Birth Control & the Insecurity of Women’s Rights with Dr. Sophia Yen
“I am not a second class citizen. You can’t force me under law to do what you want. That’s slavery. My body, my choice.”
Never in my lifetime, did I think Roe v Wade would be in jeopardy. The fact that we’re still having debates about a woman’s right to choose and to have full autonomy over her body, including access to health education and birth control, is shocking and disturbing. Today’s guest Dr. Sophia Yen, is on a passionate mission to ensure every woman who wants birth control can not only have access to it, but also have it conveniently delivered to her door. As the CEO of Pandia Health, Dr. Yen is the only female-founded, run, and doctor-led birth control delivery company in the United States. In this episode, we discuss all things on the path to women’s empowerment and liberation, and how birth control is a must-have piece of the plan.
