how to not get pregnant (without the pill) with chloe skerlak

2021-12-2101:08:53

The first tampon I wore chaffed me terribly. I really was not open to anybody’s input on how to wear it ‘properly’... so I just walked stiff-legged around, horrified (yes, I figured it out eventually). These are the kind of heart-felt giggles and stories that today’s episode is FULL OF… with a big side heaping of ‘down with the patriarchy’. If you’re someone who cycles, this episode is likely for you. We’re talking about how to not get pregnant, what a cervix is, being shamed for desire, why ...

how to get rid of teen period cramps with natalie martin

2021-11-3001:04:09

Hello loves! I’ve struggled with terrible period cramps, acne breakouts, and menstrual mood swings for as long as I can remember. It felt pretty gosh darn hard (AKA impossible) to ‘embrace my beautiful period’ when it felt like the 2.5 weeks from hell (yes, I’m talking premenstrual and menstrual phases). SO -- I got curious about why these symptoms were happening to me as a teen (and not other people!!)… and how they could get better… and REAL TALK: it got so much better. Natalie K. Martin is...

[rebroadcast] the gifts of dyslexia, ADHD and neurodiversity for teens with nicole connell

2021-09-2154:55

[originally aired 1/19/21] Hey brilliant one! Yeah you ;) Ever notice how our dominant culture has a very narrow and dumb story about what being ‘smart’ means? How certain classes are ‘better’? And neurodiverse folks often have to bear the burden alone of our dumb systems and limited understanding of ‘intelligence’? Today, me and my guest are unpacking that. Nicole Connell is a learning fairy godmother (best term ever) and we’re talking about: why neurodiversity is what the world needs, how d...

This is a new one… for the first time EVER I’m being interviewed on the podcast!! Eeeek! I asked Lili, one of our OG mentors, to come on and ask me a million and one questions for you. I’ve known Lili since she was a preteen and I’ve been her mentor for almost a decade now.

2021-08-2433:38

I’m lonely AF so much of the time (anyone else??!) and I think it should be normal to talk about.

you could start to trust your body today (or not)

2021-08-1034:29

I was taught that my body was weird, dangerous, and kinda untrustworthy. Now… mostly people didn’t say that to me… it was how they talked, looked, or acted. Periods were hidden and gross… (and my body gets a period), diets were encouraged and cool (cause if you aren’t on one… or so the story goes… your body will eat literally everything in sight!), and people in bodies read as ‘girls’ were supposed to be ‘sexy’ and ‘feminine’ and ‘cute’ and ‘pretty’... oh and also, inherently ‘distracting’. O...

why finally trusting yourself is gonna change your life

2021-08-0325:07

I started trusting myself because my friends broke up with me. I figured if they weren’t gonna love me the way I deserved… I had better get really frickin’ good at loving myself.
