E4. Women's health and Abortion with Stephanie Peverill
In this episode, we sit down with my friend Stephanie Peverill, a counselor who specializes in reproductive and maternal mental health, to talk about one of the most complex and emotional topics out there: abortion. We dig into women’s health, access to care, the politics around it, and why investing in women changes everything for families and communities. Stephanie brings tons of experience and compassion to the table, and I walked away realizing how much more there is to this conversation than I thought.
One quick note: I know this is a sensitive topic for people on all sides. I did my best to approach it with humility, curiosity, and respect—so if at any point it comes across differently, I sincerely apologize.
