Let's Talk About The Pill, Shall We?
Hello hello! This week Grace gives a full Royal Ascot debrief (yes, Kate is that beautiful IRL) and Izzy has a chance encounter with our new favourite quasi-celebrity in a Hollywood Pilates class. We break down the unexpected dark side of the crystal industry; two new must-watch TV shows, and briefly discuss E. Jean Carroll's harrowing Trump rape allegations (more on that next week). Based on plenty of amazing listener feedback, we've done a deep dive on The Pill. Why, when so many women have terrible experiences with it, are so many teenage girls prescribed the pill aged 15 and 16? And how do you find the right contraceptive, when the side effects can we so extreme?
