Doctors often evaluate physical side effects like bleeding or cramping, but mental and emotional side effects are just as important to our quality of life! Today Caitlin and Grace chat about the mental and emotional side effects she and others have experienced on birth control. NOTE: This episode is appropriate for most audiences, but does reference libido. Guest Biography:Grace is no stranger to the Woven Well podcast!
