Let’s Talk About What’s Really Happening in Our Bodies

Hi! I’m Kristyn Hodgdon, Co-Founder of Rescripted, and a millennial woman who’s basically made a career out of trying to understand her own body. Between fertility treatments, two pregnancies, postpartum recovery, and the hormonal rollercoaster that is PCOS, I’ve learned one thing for sure: women’s health information is way too confusing, stigmatized, or hidden in some obscure corner of the internet you only find at 2 a.m.

That’s why I created Girlhood.

Think of this as the group chat we should have had all along — the one where we can actually talk about what’s happening in our bodies. No sugarcoating, no shame, just real talk about the symptoms we whisper about, the questions we can’t believe we’re Googling, and the stuff we wish someone had told us sooner.

I’ll share my own stories (the awkward ones too), insights from the Rescripted community, and science-backed info from trusted experts. But Girlhood isn’t just about biology — it’s about the culture around it. We’ll unpack wellness trends, debunk bad advice, revisit the nostalgic “tips” we grew up with, and connect it all to what’s shaping women’s health right now.

Because you shouldn’t need a PhD, or a search history full of late-night panic Googles, to understand your own body (or to navigate the world around it).

My hope? That each entry leaves you feeling a little more seen, a little more informed, and a lot more empowered to take the lead in your own self-care. From mood swings to cramps, bloating to burnout, this space is for us.

So, welcome to Girlhood, where we’re finally talking about the things that really matter.
