A Hope For Those Feeling Broken

By: Gabriela Yareliz Jena Covello is a household name— she is the founder of Agent Nateur. She posts a lot of health content, specifically around hormones and endometriosis, as this started her journey with Agent Nateur (finding/creating a clean deodorant). Her recent posts had me sad.
