Definitely going to pre-order this. When I started high school my mom bought me Our Bodies Ourselves. My 17 year-old daughter is going off to university next fall and I can’t think of a better guide for her to take on her life’s journey. Thank you for the work I’m sure you put in to this. It’s appreciated.

🥹 That's amazing, thank you!! We are truly hoping that this book can be what Our Bodies, Ourselves was for girls and women in the 70-80's. Would you mind if I shared your comment in Instagram Stories (with your name removed for privacy)? This means so much to me, thanks again! 🥰

THANK YOU!!! I'm beyond excited for people to read the book, and to share and discuss the topics in it with their friends, families, and the wider world. ❤️ I'm truly hoping that we can take these sexual and reproductive health topics from a place of secrecy, confusion, or shame, so that we can talk about these common experiences and find better solutions!!

Thank you for the update 🥰 Your book and new independent practice news are very exciting! Sorry to hear your other content platforms aren't reaching us (your followers) -- so disappointing. Your post makes me reflect on what a strange time we live in. We are maintaining our everyday lives and obligations while also holding--and acting on--the knowledge of terrible atrocities and injustices throughout the world. It's mind bending. 🤯

Thank you for your lovely and thoughtful comment. In this terrible time, we need connection and balanced communication more than ever, but it's so hard to achieve these things on social media. 😔 Hopefully we'll be able to form these communities where we can try our best.

Hi, Karen. I run a substack called LADYPARTS, based on my own book of the same name. I'd love to interview you before the book comes out. Feel free to get in touch here or at my email address, dcopaken@gmail.com. Or you can have your publisher's PR reps get in touch for you while you're busy saving women's lives. Thanks for all you do, and I look forward to reading your book!

Ok! Pre-ordered from bookshop.org, and I’m so excited to read it! I can’t express how important it is that you wrote it; I had huge issues but no clue my periods weren’t completely normal until I ended up in the ER thinking I had appendicitis but actually had an ovarian cyst and anemia. (surprise?) More good info out there? Great! But all in one book? GAME CHANGER.

We haven't decided for certain, but I would love to! 💕 I think it'd be harder for an actor/narrator to learn some of the medical pronunciations 😅
