It's A Mess, Sis!

Welcome back to the Podcast!

With the month of March being Women's History Month, it is only fitting that this episode be an ode, an homage, a dedication to the one of the most prominent and distinguishing factors of womanhood since the beginning of history...the Reproductive System...the vagina and all that comes with it and how we deal with our Reproductive Health.

Listen in as we incoherently DIC (Define, Impact, Cope) down our "womanhood", as we assess our understanding of Reproductive Health and ask ourselves the question WTF...is going on down there?

Seriously, If you all have any resources, know of any professionals, products, have any tips on how to handle these womanly parts... do not hesitate to contact us at: [email protected]

“Is always to DIC’ it down. Define, Impact, Cope. 

This episode we "Define" what reproductive organs are and reproductive health is...right? Then we  discuss the "Impact" being a “female bodied” person (got that term from EP 59...so go check out what that's all about) with reproductive organs and it’s effect on our lives. Lastly, talk about how we "Cope" with all of the above.

We make each section clearly known, so feel free to pause throughout the sections to give yourself time to answer. If you want to. Maybe even jot down your answers and thoughts. Do what feels right for you.

 Oh, and as always, if you vibe, we tribe! So, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We have exciting things in the works!
