EP #18: Empowered, Not Afraid - How to Break Up With Your Contraception

In this episode, we’re diving into a topic that’s been on the minds of so many women: contraception. Specifically, should you stay on it or choose to stop using contraception?

Faye takes the lead and shares her deep knowledge and personal experience on what different forms of contraception really do to your hormones, your mood, and your overall health. We break down the most common types of birth control, bust some major myths (including the idea that the pill "regulates your cycle" — spoiler alert: it doesn’t), and explore why so many women are now choosing to come off hormonal contraception.

If you’ve ever felt unsure, confused, or even a bit afraid about what might happen if you stop taking the pill, this episode is for you. We’re here to empower you with education, so you can make confident, informed choices for your body.

What We Cover:

• Why the pill doesn’t regulate your hormones (and what it actually does)
• The difference between a real period and a withdrawal bleed
• The side effects of hormonal contraception you’re not told about
• Why mood swings, anxiety, and depression can be linked to birth control
• Pros and cons of the pill, IUDs, implants, and more
• Why Faye doesn’t work with clients who stay on hormonal contraception
• How to confidently stop using contraception without fear
• Using Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) as a natural form of contraception

Takeaway Message:

This isn’t about fear, it’s about freedom. Freedom to understand your body, your hormones, and your options. When you know better, you can choose better. Whether you stay on contraception or choose to come off it, we want you to feel educated and empowered in your decision.

As always, we are breaking the rules around health to help make empowered choices!
