I found this through India’s other podcast “Witch,” and dove in as I love her reporting/storytelling style. I didn’t expect to be so moved and motivated by a show about periods! I’ve now listened through multiple times, and this series was part of the reason I went back to school for public health. A beautiful introduction to the untold stories of female body and its social and political power.

Incredible. Life changing. Ground breaking. Thanks so much!!

I learned a lot from this series. It covers a variety of topics many girls and women never hear discussed. I never learned 90% of this in health class, and have had to piece meal this into my adult years, and I still learned new things!! It continues to show how far girls and women have to go to get understanding in the world. Pros: goes through the entire cycle, so many topics looked into, host has a great voice and the music chosen takes the listener on a path to learning. Really liked learning different cultures relation to women’s periods (1 episode). Both girls and women will benefit from listening to the series. Cons: Way to short of episodes, they could have easily been 30-45 minutes and still only scratched the surface. I remember feeling whiplash as some episodes ended when I thought we were just getting into the meat of the matter. Secondly, this series points out how far females are from getting recognition for the complexities of our bodies. Yet, there are a few mentions scattered and 1 whole episode devoted to those that don’t recognize themselves as female. We have been fighting for too long trying to be heard, and now we are being ran over (yet again!) to give sympathy and recognition to both men who think they are women and women who think they are men and those who can’t figure it out. Females need to stop bowing down, and instead continue the fight to be heard, continue learning about our bodies, and demand that ‘it isn’t all in my head’. This show should have focused on females…women….girls, and not brought in ‘trans’. That should be a show all on its own, as I’m tired of seeing females get pushed over.

My goodness. I cannot express what this podcast meant to me. I hope the fact that this is the first ever review I’ve left on a podcast can speak to that. It is wild to me that I’m 26 and SO much (most?!) of what is discussed in this series was new to me. Thank you for talking about it!!!!!! The wide range of experts and individuals you had on the show was incredibly helpful, comforting, and impressive. LOVED learning from them all. India, you do such a beautiful job learning from all these individuals, I felt like I was just learning right alongside you. The entire podcast is also just beautifully produced. Standing ovation there. I found myself feeling so RELIEVED at many points just feeling a sense of COMMUNITY in all of this. In knowing I’m not alone. And I got emotional at many different points because of the BEAUTIFUL reframing that was happening about women’s bodies. About my body!!! After having listened I am feeling an increased sense of awe, wonder, gratitude, love, and connectedness with my MAGICAL body and the marvel she is. I’ve already told several friends about the podcast and will continue to do so. Thank you thank you thank you for bringing this into existence 🙏🏼

I thought of myself as a relatively informed person about women’s health, but there were so many jaw dropping pieces of information about having a female body in this world, and it has completely transformed how I approach my healthcare and my period. I share this podcast with everyone I know, highly highly recommend as an essential listen.

I’ve really been enjoying this podcast, and have learned so much. I appreciate how the episodes are brief but still give you great info. I’m much more empowered about my body!

This is a very well made podcast full of useful eye opening information. Highly recommend it for everyone, women, men, girls and boys.

This is a fascinating podcast. The music, though, is VERY intrusive. And hearing it over and over for 28 episodes…!

Every woman, girl and menstruating person should listen to this. Wonderfully informative and beautifully presented. I learned so much from this podcast!

As a FAM educator, these are topics I cover with my clients and I’m always amazed at how little we know about our bodies. This is an incredibly well produced series on the cycle!
