2000 years and we finally get a redesign 🥳 More seriously, I am part of the 35% and have been avoiding going to my check ups for years because I cannot stand the current speculum being stuck inside of me. https://www.tudelft.nl/en/ide/delft-design-stories/new-vaginal-speculum-design-might-motivate-women-to-go-for-health-checkups

I have so much admiration and gratitude for those still working on women’s healthcare especially in these backward conservative times. I hate getting Pap smears; they’re invasive, uncomfortable, and sometimes painful. This will make them more accessible and is such a great advancement for women’s health. https://www.npr.org/2025/05/10/nx-s1-5394446/fda-cervical-cancer-screening-at-home-tool-pap-smear

May everyone have the opportunity to do the /innerwork. I acknowledge that its been a privilege to been given the space & capacity to come to understand myself more and more and heal. I wish everyone the chance to gift yourself with healing and as @marlo states 'there's no telling how profound the impact will be'. Any thing is possible....

Turned 40. Decided to see what my baseline was. Got the Prenuvo scan. Mild/ normal degeneration from age. Provided some peace of mind. Wish Insurance covered it, but nonetheless felt it was worth the cost.
