In this podcast we interview the divine Jane Bennet, who is a researcher, writer, counsellor and educator surrounding women’s health. We dove into her incredible book The Pill and spoke about why the pill is a clinical shut down of women across generations and why especially every young woman should read this book before making the decision to go on the pill.

We also spoke about why it’s important for women to connect to their cycles and understand why we actually need to embrace our periods.

Jane shares her wealth of knowledge across the years from social work into discovering a new world of fertility charting. Her book about bloody time is all about the importance of recognising menstrual health in the political sphere and how we are actually entering the period revolution.

This episode is not only for menstruating women, but we invite brothers, fathers and boyfriends to understand more about the female body and our cycles.

We are so excited to announce this incredible guest, who I personally have been a fan of for many years.

TRIGGER WARNING! This episode we go into navigating the process of terminating a pregnancy, so if you are trying to conceive, have recently had a termination or a miscarriage please take note what we will be discussing may cause distress or a traumatic response.

Join us both for a discussion on our personal experiences with the process and how terminating a pregnancy is a huge life-changing decision that can be met with fear, shame, confusion and grief. We felt it necessary to share our experiences to comfort those who are potentially contemplating this decision and help make an informed decision. Even after being decriminalised in Australia, there is still have a stigma around it and being able to have open conversations around it we hope to reduce that stigma.
