Listen Later

The Period Power activists are joined by social work students and a practicing midwife, who share their own Period Power Stories, plus advice on how to advocate for yourself in a medical setting. Social work student and Period Power! Club intern Rebecca shares her TMI Project monologue, where she recounts her harrowing experiences with severe period pain and heavy flow, which led to a medical emergency during her teen years.

This episode was produced in partnership with HUDSY and Kingston High School’s Period Power! Club. It was written and produced by Hayley Downs, Blake Pfeil, and Raine Grayson. It was directed by Raine Grayson. All episodes are shot and edited by HUDSY.
