Ep 22 • Menstruation Conversations with A New Romantic Partner • How To Talk To Your Lover About Periods, Hormones & Fertility


Listen Later

Dive in with me today as I explore the intersection of love and menstrual cycles, in maybe what's my favourite ep to date! In this episode, I discuss my recent experiences in a new, committed relationship and how we've navigated conversations about menstruation, fertility awareness, and hormonal health. I give you the behind-the-scenes of 3 key discussions I had with my partner: the importance of menstrual cycles, practical needs during menstruation, and the fertility awareness method as a means of contraception. In classic Karinda fashion, I also share some candid advice on dating and embracing full self-expression from the get-go. Packed with personal anecdotes, practical tips, and a healthy splash of humour (always), this episode is all about embracing our cyclical nature and fostering open, honest dialogue in relationships. Tune in and you might just feel a zap of inspiration to have these important conversations in your own life!
