You may feel less 'feminine' than you did before the changes. Some folks (myself included) feel broken because of how our vulvas look. If this resonates with you, you are not alone. In today's post, we are stepping away from evidence-based information and science to have a heartfelt post about architectural changes and a beautiful philosophy and art - Kintsugi - that helped me move from feeling broken and ugly to feeling beautiful and worthy.  I hope it creates a healing and transformative shift in you, as it did…
