Episode 19 // My Birth Control Story (Part 3): How The Birth Control Pill Caused My Blood Clots, CTEPH Diagnosis, & Open Heart Surgery

We have made it to part III of My Birth Control Story and it's time to chat all about open heart surgery recovery! When I found out that I would need PTE surgery to remove the blood clots from my lungs, I was so nervous for recovery  - both physically and emotionally.  This was a time where I had to give myself a lot of grace as well as accept a lot of changes in my life, including a new scar. Recovery wasn't easy, but I learned so much about myself in the process & I'm excited to share my heart and what I learned with you in this episode.
