I Am Not My Uterus, Part 1
In this deeply personal episode of The Powder Room, host Ivy Ashley opens up about her 25+ year journey with ovarian cysts and fibroids. From the physical pain to the emotional weight, the mental toll to the strain on relationships — she shares her unfiltered truth about living with chronic reproductive health issues.
As the episode unfolds, she highlights the often unspoken impact these conditions have on everyday life, identity, and womanhood. She also addresses the broader issue: the silence in our communities around reproductive health — and why it's time for mothers to talk to daughters, aunts to nieces, and women to each other.
This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation that aims to educate, validate, and liberate. If you've ever struggled with your body or felt unseen in your health journey, this episode is for you.
