Hi everyone and welcome to our podcast! We are Kira, Kate, and Mags -- three Harvard College students trying to change the narrative surrounding women+'s reproductive health. We are also the co-founders of ⁠Lotus⁠, a social networking platform designed to offer community and connection for women+ dealing with reproductive health conditions and/or concerns. We are currently developing an app that will provide match-to-chat features, individual messaging, group-based posting, and streamlined, accurate resources for this population. Stay tuned for when our app goes live! Additionally, this podcast will serve to provide community and conversation as we discuss topics ranging from irregular periods to gynecological conditions to even infertility among adolescent and young adult women+. We hope you will join us in our mission to ultimately use conversation and discussion to destigmatize these conditions. Thank you for listening!
