In this episode, we have the unbelievably sweet story of Tohar, who entered into womanhood surrounded by love from her community. Tohar shares the normalization of menstruation in her family culture, and how the women rested, as well as how girls are initiated into their first bleeds with reverence for being a cycling woman. Tohar tells tithe story of loving her period from the start and how having a supportive, healthy, and embodied mother sett there up to become the strong and confident woman she is today (even if she strayed to try to be “cool” for a little while). You might shed a few loving tears and definitely smile big as you listen to Tohar’s wonderful story, and it will definitely inspire those of you looking to initiate your daughters.
