In this episode, we\u2019re having an open, honest, and judgment-free conversation with Jennifer Love, a certified nurse midwife and Lead Clinician at Planned Parenthood of Southern New England. With more than 20 years of experience in reproductive healthcare and over a decade at Planned Parenthood, Jen brings a science-based, evidence-based, and patient-centered perspective to some of the most important topics women need to understand. We\u2019re breaking down cervical cancer screenings, including what Pap tests and HPV testing actually look for, why routine screening matters, and what women should know if they\u2019ve been putting off an appointment. We\u2019re also talking about STI testing and treatment \u2014 why someone can have an STI without symptoms, how testing works, and why getting tested should be viewed as a normal part of taking care of your health rather than something associated with shame or judgment. And we\u2019re having an honest conversation about abortion care, including the differences between medication abortion and procedural abortion, what each experience can look like, and how healthcare providers help patients understand their options and make informed decisions about their care. Most importantly, this conversation is about access, education, prevention, and empowering women to feel comfortable asking questions about their own bodies. Whether you\u2019re overdue for a screening, wondering when you should get tested, trying to understand your reproductive healthcare options, or simply want reliable information from a medical professional, this episode is designed to give you straightforward answers without the stigma. No shame. No judgment. Just facts \u2014 and a reminder that taking care of your reproductive health is taking care of yourself.
