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 young adult and adolescent women+ dealing with reproductive health conditions and/or concerns. We are currently developing an app that will provide individual messaging features, group-based forums, 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 various gynecological conditions to even infertility. We hope you will join us in our mission to ultimately use connection and discussion to destigmatize these conditions.
