Why Menstrual Education for Girls Matters: A Conversation with Jane Bennett
Description
What if the way we talk (or don’t talk) about first periods could shape a girl’s confidence, health, and sense of self for decades to come?
In this episode, I’m joined by Jane Bennett, a leading voice in menstrual education and co-creator of Celebration Day for Girls. We explore:
- Why early menstrual education is life-changing
- How puberty starts years before bleeding
- Moving past parental awkwardness to real connection
- What’s actually normal for pain, flow, and cycle length
- The ripple effect—from stronger mother-daughter bonds to period-positive schools and workplaces
A must-listen for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who wants periods met with knowledge, dignity, and pride.
