Periods, Vaginal Discharge & Coming Off The Pill with Jema Lee
Happy Monday #tot fam!! In today’s episode I am joined by the wonderful Jema Lee. She is a women’s cycle health educator or as I like to call her, the guru of women’s health. She is a period coach & menstrual cycle educator/speaker, helping women and those who menstruate find balance and connection to their bodies. It is important to note that not all individuals who identify as women menstruate and that some humans who do identify as women do no not menstruate. In today’s episode we speak about all things menstruation, painful periods, how the pill can affect your body, vaginal discharge & what it means, PCOS, how nutrition can effect your cycle & so much MORE. This episode is honestly jam packed with lots of helpful information for anyone who menstruates, is on the pill or just wants to know about their own body and cycle. Thanks for listening cuties!

Living with Endometriosis ft. Kyah ZoisHappy Monday #tot fam!! In today's episode I welcome Kyah back onto the podcast to chat candidly about her experience with Endometriosis. For those of you who don't know, endometriosis is an often painful disorder in which tissue similar to the tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus (the endometrium) grows outside your uterus. It occurs most commonly in your ovaries, fallopian tubes and the tissue lining your pelvis. Kyah was recently clinically diagnosed with endometriosis & so kindly opens up about her experience. We talk about how/when she started noticing symptoms, what her symptoms were, multiple misdiagnoses from many GPs/professionals, fertility, the 'normality' surrounding painful periods and dismissal of pain, the pill as a treatment/bandaid for endometriosis + so much more.Thanks so much for listening!

- 17. A million mental breakdowns & a Facebook hacking (general life update)Happy Monday tater tots!! I'm back with a bit of a sombre one today. In today's episode I open up about my (poor) mental health including *but not limited to* anxiety, mood swings, a few too many mental breakdowns, my gut health, spiralling/self diagnosing, losing friends & my Facebook getting hacked. Yep, 2021 has been a shit one so far buttt I'm crossing my fingers for the rest of the year. I just wanted to highlight how social media can be such a facade. You never really know everything going on in another persons life unless they tell you. I haven't had the energy or mental capacity to create content for a few weeks and I apologise for that even though I don't have to. I don't even owe anyone an explanation, but I decided to provide one because you deserve it. I am so thankful to have a followers like YOU. So thank you for being patient with me, thank you for understanding and not expecting content from me when I'm not doing so great. It means more than you would know, so thank you.GET KEEEEEN for more Topics of taboo!! Uploads will be going back to normal after this one (woo!!).28 min
