Hi BesTEAs,

It’s no secret that pregnancy takes a huge toll on the mother’s body, but do you know just how tiring it is?

In this episode, I spill the tea on how much energy is required during pregnancy and the uncanny similarities between pregnancy and extreme endurance sport activities.

And yes, I know the previous episode was about marathons too - this was purely coincidental😆

I hope you enjoy the episode!

Hi BesTEAs! Are you a runner, currently training for a marathon, and/or interested in how running affects menstrual cycles?

If so, this episode is just for you!

I spill the tea on my own experience during marathon training, as well as on research linking marathon training/running to menstrual irregularities.

Also, here is the episode on my PCOS diagnosis that I mentioned: https://spillhertea.substack.com/p/ep-1-i-missed-my-period-again-so

Hi BesTEAs <3 Did you know that grief affects people not just mentally, but also physically?

Grief also affects women differently from men due to hormonal differences, so in this episode, we focus on how grief manifests in the female body.

This is part 1 of the grief series, joined by our lovely guest, Jane. She is a grief advocate, and in this episode, she shares her grief journey, as well as how losing her mother affected her health afterwards.

Also, you can check out Jane's grief account on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/deadddserious/ 💗

I hope you enjoy this series, and part 2 will be up soon!

Hi BesTEA! Most of us know that women have 1 uterus, but did you know that it's actually possible to have 2 uteruses/uteri?

This is also known as uterus didelphys, and in this episode, I spill all the tea about it;)

Hope you have a fun time listening to this one💗

Hi BesTEAs! Here is the long-awaited second part of the juiciest period talk ever with my partner:)

In this episode, we cover questions men may have about periods, as well as advice to help them better understand women and their periods. That said, this is for absolutely ANYONE to enjoy <3.

If you missed part 1, check out the previous episode (i.e. episode 6) to learn the basics about periods as well as some fun facts!

I hope you enjoyed this 2-part series, and please let me know if you did, because we would love to do this for other topics on women's health (such as pregnancy).

Hi BesTEAs!! Do you think men should be more involved in period talk?

I sure do, hence why I invited my wonderful partner to spill the tea on periods with me in this episode:)

Since our (very awesome) conversation went on for a while, I split the episode into 2 parts. In part 1 (this episode), we talk about the basics of periods as well as some fun facts about periods! In part 2 (the next episode), we will go through questions men may have about periods.

Hope you enjoy this episode as much as we did!!

Hi BesTEAs, have you ever heard of hyperemesis gravidarum (HG)? It's an extremely severe form of morning sickness that affects hundreds of thousands ~ millions of people worldwide per year.

I never learnt about this in school or university, so I wanted to spread awareness of this condition to as many people as I can.

I hope you learn something insightful from this episode🧠
