What is Talk About Your Period?

All about the period-positive podcast.

“Do you have a tampon?”

“My cramps are killing me.”

“Can you check me?”

Whispers over shoulders, behind corners, and through passed notes and texts, menstruators have discretely communicated with each other for generations about their “time of the month.”

Euphemisms and idioms ease the blow of the supposedly shameful and shocking reality that is the passive act of bleeding each month. Doesn’t that seem a bit dramatic?

All that fuss over a little blood…

Exhausted from these secret, not-so-secret conversations, Karen wanted to create a safe space to loudly and shamelessly discuss all things period. Because as any menstruator can tell you, periods can make for a pretty damn good story.

Each episode, we talk with fellow menstruators about their experience having a period. Because as any menstruator can tell you, periods can make for a pretty damn good story.

Periods can be messy, complicated, hilarious, joyful, devastating, and more. Let’s stop shying away from these conversations, and let’s start normalizing periods.

Through open conversation, we believe we can help eradicate period stigma and shame. By holding space for others to share their stories, in a safe and encouraging environment, we hope to contribute to long-lasting societal change. We want menstruators, young and old, to know that their period is nothing to be ashamed of.

Frustrated by society’s backwards attitude towards periods, Karen decided to create an environment that promotes, encourages, and celebrates conversations about menstruation. Karen wants to talk to you about your period, so give her all the bloody details.

Thank you for supporting the period-positive movement. We’re happy to have you here!
