TRAILER: How to Talk to Mamí and Papí About Anything
Kamilah and her mom, Sherene, remember the first few years of their periods — the good, the bad and the ugly — and share lessons they’ve learned about menstruation. (And we record epic levels of mother-daughter sass.)
When Jane Hartman Adamé started to have trouble with her menstrual cup, she didn’t want to go back to tampons and pads. So she recruited a friend and together, they designed a new cup, which is used by scores of menstruators today.
We talk to period helpers — the people who support menstruators in their lives with everything from a home remedy to a monthly sweet treat.
When she was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa at age 19, Annie lost her period. She shares what that was like — and we talk to a doctor about the medical reasons behind amenorrhea: the absence of a menstrual period.
The everyday pad has a fascinating history — from the battlefields of World War I to the creative hands of an inventor. On this episode, hear how pioneering women evolved and transformed a trusted staple for generations of menstruators.
In the final episode of season two, we speak with Aida Salazar, author of The Moon Within — a middle grade novel about a girl celebrating her first period with a moon ceremony.
