Familia, this is a very special episode!
Join us for some group therapy! Naomi and Alex welcome back 38Degrees CEO and former Obama campaign staffer Matthew McGregor with some first impressions of Trump's low-energy inauguration speech, his high-energy overflow speech, Melania's get-away-from-me-energy hat and Musk's chemically-enhanced-energy salute. ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** "So much of it was about him. So much of it was about how he's the best and how he's suffered and how he's the victim. Contrast that with 'ask not what your country can do for you'. It was an extraordinarily self-centered inauguration speech." "Once he was in the other room, he gave the speech he really wanted to. He wanted to talk about January the 6th. He wanted to open up old wounds. He will never ever let go of the injustice that he perceives happened to him back in 2020.” "We should be outraged. We should stay angry. And we should be up for resisting what Donald Trump is going to try to do to America. But there's no point in pretending that he is a novice, an idiot, someone who is deranged. He knows what he's doing." “John McCain said it's always darkest just before it goes completely black. I'm glad to be, experiencing the pain, with you both, in a group therapy setting.” CALLS TO ACTION To find out more about (and donate if in the US) to Planned Parenthood click here.

Over the last six years, Bloody Good Period has grown from a Facebook post to a charity working with over 100 organisations around the country, providing vital menstrual supplies to asylum seekers, refugees and anyone who cannot afford them. Establishing a bold, recognisable and unapologetically direct tone of voice has allowed Bloody Good Period to carve out a unique space in the charity sector, and build a loyal following of supporters and ambassadors.

They'll also be exploring how Bloody Good Period's unique and individual voice was developed, and how it has managed to remain consistent and relevant across multiple platforms, through a variety of campaigns, even as the focus of the charity has shifted.

Founded four years ago by Susan and Tara in a bathroom, Here We Flo is on a mission to challenge shame and disrupt the period, bladder, and sexual wellness markets with its organic and vegan products, including tampons, pads, reusable period underwear, and condoms. Here We Flo ensures every product is good for the planet, free of dyes or chemicals, and is 100% cotton. Their Flo pads have saved the equivalent of 61 million plastic carrier bags. At the heart of Here We Flo's leadership is a social good. From the beginning, Here We Flo has given back 5% of profits to people and the planet. The business has supported incredible charity partners like Bloody Good Period, a period poverty organization, and The Brigid Alliance, which promotes safe abortion access for Americans. Last month alone saw the business donate 10,000-period pads to charity. Susan Allen grew up in the city of champions — Boston, Massachusetts, and received her B.A. in communications and legal studies from the University of Massachusetts Amherst. After three years at a healthcare policy nonprofit in Boston, she moved to New York City to join George Soros' philanthropy, the Open Society Foundations. Susan completed her master's in management at the London School of Economics in 2015. She relocated to London in 2016 to lead the Foundation's work on diversity, equity, and inclusion and to launch Here We Flo with her best friend, Tara. Their mission is to make shamelessly natural personal care products that make us feel crazy confident about life's messiest moments - from periods to bladder leaks, to sex and everything else on the human body rollercoaster. Tara Priya Chandra is co-founder of Here We Flo. Born in San Francisco, she studied Economics at Columbia University in New York City, where she tried almond milk and kombucha for the first time and had her mind blown. After working on Wall Street for a hot minute, Tara ended up in the music industry in LA while freelance copywriting for brands like Ray-Ban. Tara received her master's from the London School of Economics, where she met her bestie and future co-founder Susan, had the idea for Here We Flo in the university bathrooms, and received the C200 Award for exceptional MBA students. Tara and Susan launched Here We Flo with a Kickstarter campaign in 2017 and the business has been shaking up the personal care category ever since, with a purpose-driven, sustainable period care and sexual wellness range that offers 'shamelessly natural' products. Since 2020 in the USA alone, Here We Flo has saved 9.5 million period care products from landfill.* *Flo period care products are biodegradable vs industry standard. In this episode we discuss how Susan and Tara started Here We Flo, what makes them unicorns in the period care industry, why they make their marketing relatable as possible and an important discussion on taking words like hygiene and sanitary out of the period conversation. Learn more about Here We Flo at their website and Instagram. Their products can now be found in retailers including Target, Whole Foods, HEB and more!

GKN is a female focused podcast hosted by @SharonNJGaffka Our next guest is Rachel Grocott, the Chief Executive Officer of @bloodygoodperiod9991 (https://www.bloodygoodperiod.com) Bloody Good Period are a non-profit organisation that fights for menstrual equity and the rights of all people who bleed. As period products aren't free in the UK, in the midst of a cost of living crisis, it means that many people can't afford or access them. People who menstruate suffer because of the culture of embarrassment and shame that exists around this natural, biological process. Bloody Good Period provide products to those who can't afford them and provide reproductive health education to those less likely to access it. Everybody needs to talk about periods! * If you need help accessing period products, please reach out to your local food bank or community organisation. Bloody Good Period works with more than 100 partners like these organisations, via our pad-to-partner model, rather than sending out products to individuals. If your local org doesn't provide period products, please ask them to do so, because everybody deserves a bloody good period! Bloody Good Period also provide support to international crisis's, and are also providing support to those in the Turkey-Syria disaster. If you're able to donate, you can help Bloody Good Period get more period products to more partners - they currently have a growing waiting list as the cost of living crisis bites.

Miriam and Sarah chat to their lovely guest @Hannah Marcus about the startling level of unmet needs in women's health, both in conditions that affect women/people with cervixes/uteruses etc e.g. endometriosis and those that are experienced by both men and women e.g. heart disease. The discussion is inspired by The Women's Health Strategy for England and fuelled by Hannah's personal passion and professional research on Unmet needs in women's health at discover.ai for the Women's Health Tech HIve, and her work with discover ai on periods, for the charity Bloody Good Period; menopause, for the charity Over the Bloody moon; and the very taboo topic of vaginal pain. From data gaps, to FemTech, to clinical trials: it's surprising, sad and shocking; revealing a wealth of opportunities for you to make a difference.

Mind your bloody language! Half of the world's population does, has or will have a period, but we spend most of our lives pretending or hiding that we do. Even when we do talk about it, we use silly names “Aunty Flo”. “Time of the Month”, “Red Wedding” - we're made to feel so ashamed about something so natural that there are over 5,000 slang terms for ‘period'. Generations of women have been conditioned to believe that their periods are disgusting or shrameful, which has massive consequences for our bodies, our healthcare decisions, our sex lives and our overall well being. Around the world, menstruation is framed as a problem (to be hidden) rather than a healthy bodily process....yet the menstrual cycle has enabled pretty much every single person on Earth to be born! Join Meta's Sophie Neary as she speaks to charity Bloody Good Period about how to tackle period shame, period language and all things menstruation.

Everything from the magic of masturbation, to desire, arousal, physicality, partners, STDs and basic biological facts are often considered too embarrassing or socially inappropriate to discuss. Why? And what are the questions we really want to know the answers to? The girls break down some barriers and debunk some myths while they're at it.NB: If you're worried about your sexual health, always see your GP or visit your local sexual health clinic.

(a visual overview of the ever-changing pressures on women to conform to body shape ideals), her more recent collaboration 'Typically' with Caitlin McCarthy (an animated celebration and destigmatisation of periods for Bloody Good Period and Mother) and her boldly-designed and beautifully animated Breast Cancer Now short film 'A Love Hate Relationship', playing this week in competition as part of Annecy 2021's Commissioned Films programme. Produced by Strange Beast with agency Weber Shandwick, the film conveys the different journeys, and accompanying emotions, women go on with their breasts; from pride and embarrassment as their breasts develop, to their breasts attracting attention from others, to breastfeeding and attending mammogram appointments.

Doesn't matter if you are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, Independent, or Whosie Whatsit....This one is for you! This week on Lady Wave we tackle the often-controversial topic of why representation matters for women no matter your party lines. Women make up nearly 51% of the population and and yet we hold an abysmally low number of positions in our government. We have to change this! But how? Well, women supporting women running for office is a good start and we are gonna chat all about it. We also deliver you a Heat Wave that doubles down on the importance of representation in power positions...think free period products for all brought to you by none other than a badass female leader! Now if that doesn't get you going, we don't know what will. #ladywave
The team are joined by Gabby Edlin, who founded the charity Bloody Good Period in 2016. The organisation aims to supply period products to those who can’t afford them; provide menstrual education to those less likely to access it; and to “help everybody talk about periods”. Gabby explains why she refuses to use traumatic stories to fundraise; her hope that BGP’s work will be done within a decade, and how Covid-19 has made her rethink how her organisation operates. Good Charity, Bad Charity is presented by Keith Davis, Camilla McGibbon and David Prest. It is produced by Dan Hardoon at Whistledown and supported by the Centre for Charity Effectiveness.

I am launching into Series 2 with the wonderful trans model, activist & Bloody Good Period ambassador, Kenny Ethan Jones. I have been following Kenny's work for a long time and so I was absolutely thrilled that he agreed to come on my podcast to talk about the incredible work he's doing. We talk about Kenny's experience as being the first transgender man to front a period campaign and discuss how that opportunity had such a profound impact on making the conversations around periods more inclusive. We speak about trans rights and how to be a good ally to the trans community, where education is most needed and how Kenny deals with invasive questions in his DM's from a place of compassion.

She guides us through an extraordinary array of sex toys, and gives us golden advice on how to keep sex in long term relationships fresh. Micro-dating anyone?

Gabby Edlin is Founder and CEO of Bloody Good Period, a London based charity seeking to provide menstrual supplies to people who can't afford them. Her story started by facing the stigma head on and will hopefully conclude with her organisation not being needed ... when I'm sure she'll go back to being stand-up comedian. It was a fascinating discussion and I was surprised and delighted to be the first man to interview her about it. This was recorded in our Studios in Shoreditch.
In this episode, we are speaking with Model, Photographer and Activist Emma Breschi. As a photographer with a particular focus on challenging modern ideas of femininity, she has collaborated with the likes of Puma, Dr Martens and Malone Souliers and as a model, her breakthrough moment came in 2017 when she was handpicked to star in Andreas Kronthaler for Vivienne Westwood's AW'17 campaign; the first curve model to ever do so. An Ambassador for Bloody Good Period, a charity whose focus is to provide period supplies for asylum seekers, refugees and those who can't afford them – Emma is a passionate advocate for human rights, particularly issues surrounding women. The Model Podcast offers an insider's look at the fashion industry, past and present, featuring an array of prolific guests.Hosted by Robyn Bright, model, presenter turned talent scout at Models1, the podcast series will delve into the lives, careers and opinions of some of the world's best and most important players in modelling and fashion, both past and present, including Yasmin Le Bon, Iskra Lawrence, Caroline Rush, Fenn O'Meally and more.The weekly series sees Bright and her esteemed guests explore the fashion industry's key challenges, from diversity and representation, through to safeguarding models and creativity in a globalised industry. Through conversations with a variety of guests, including photographers and filmmakers, models, agency heads, stylists, fashion label owners and journalists, the podcast will explore the rich history of the fashion industry, how it's evolved and where it's headed.This is a Studio71 production.

If you or someone you love has a uterus, then this episode is for you! As we mention in the episode, we are not medical professionals and you should get in touch with your GP if you have any questions or concerns after listening. We have done our googles, but not a PHD. Periods are bloody normal, bloody important, and honestly how are there not more widespread memes about it?This was one of the first episodes I recorded with the wonderful folks at Brisbane Podcast Hub (an AMAZING resource for podcasters, highly recommend) and as I’m a novice when it comes to recording and editing, I had no idea what gain was. Until now. So unfortunately, this episode’s audio quality is not up to our usual standards. There will be a few more like this in the future I’m afraid, but I promise the content is worth it. Also, thank you all for being patient with me while I figured out how to edit things!Jump on socials and let us know what you think! Don’t forget you can click through to read the full notes on the TNC website.Keep well,-PaulaThings We Mentioned.....We talked about the colours of periods and what that means. Here is a super easy to understand article that’s got tons of interesting info https://helloclue.com/articles/cycle-a-z/period-blood-color-brown-black-dark-does-it-matter Here is a medically reviewed one on period a much wider range of menstrual discharges and possible problems they point to https://www.healthline.com/health/womens-health/period-blood And here is what the Australian government has on it (not much, but it’s a start) https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/menstruation.....PMS and period pain here is a handy and easy to navigate resource from the Victorian government https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/premenstrual-syndrome-pms.....Period poverty has not been accepted as a phrase by any dictionaries, which is a shame. But in my understanding it is when people are unable to access sanitary products, usually for economic reasons, and are therefore unable to live their damn lives.Read a very comprehensive article about it here: https://www.globalcitizen.org/en/content/period-poverty-everything-you-need-to-know/ or a shorter but completely Eurocentric one here: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2017/10/why-women-are-struggling-with-period-poverty And on that note, if a Tory government makes sanitary products available for free in high schools, we could probably make it happen RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, with our government.I don’t know of any Australian groups that do the work that organisations like Bloody Good Period do in the UK, and honestly, let’s get onto that, yeah? The closest, I think, is Mums 4 Refugees, who accept donations of sanitary products, if I remember correctly. Find them here: http://www.mums4refugees.org/about-us.....Share The Dignity is the only charity I am aware of that specifically aims to assist women dealing with period poverty, you can find out more about them here https://www.sharethedignity.com.au/.....Here’s that Medium article on the link between periods and oppression, I found it super interesting and a fairly easy read (despite being on of the most distractible people in the world) https://medium.com/s/hysterical-women-and-medicine/ignorance-about-menstruation-puts-womens-health-at-risk-28dd36670d94 It also talks about the invention of the moon cup!And here is a related article the ABC ran (from Ladies, We Need To Talk) on Kiran Gandhi who free-bled during the London Marathon https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2017-09-30/menstrual-cycle-taboo-holds-women-back/8996526.....Period Talk education program is actually in partnership with Share the Dignity!

One in ten girls or women aged 14 to 21 in Britain cannot afford sanitary towels or tampons, according to Plan International. Despite the serious consequences - from the impact on their dignity, to missing school and education, this issue was barely talked about only a few years ago. The good news is that now there are incredible entrepreneurs who say, “Period Poverty is a solvable issue.” We speak with Gabby Edlin and Celia Hobson from Bloody Good Period and Hey Girls, who are both making a difference to end period poverty, and the stigma associated with it. Plus we’re joined in the studio by Joel Attar, Award Manager from UnLtd, where we discuss the pressure on social businesses to compromise their principles, especially when working with big corporates. We also talk about the practical ways to make your work for good sustainable.

To mark International Women's Day on the 8th of March, we teamed up with Bloody Good Period, a charity project on a mission to create a sustainable flow of period products for asylum seekers, refugees and those who can't afford them. On 7th March, we hosted a bloody good debate with Bloody Good Period founder Gabby Edlin, period poverty activist Amika George, and curator and cultural researcher, Nicole Crentsil.
The word ‘powerhouse’ is much overused these days, but it certainly applies to Gabby Edlin in the context of periods. She is a tour de force in the fight against period poverty as founder and CEO of Bloody Good Period, an enterprise that provides menstrual products for asylum seekers in the UK, and campaigns to change the conversation around women’s health and menstruation. Gabby’s career trajectory to date is an interesting and inspiring one, and if we’re talking about forcing opening a door where only a chink of light shows, then she is the boss. Brought up in Manchester in a Jewish family, Gabby’s passion for social justice and women’s issues began early. In the interests of full disclosure, I should probably say that Gabby and I went to school together - I’m a couple of years older than her, and she is MUCH more creative than me, but we were both inspired by our favourite English teacher and share a deep love of our home city. In this episode we discuss: - Gabby's early desire to be a fashion designer, her love of photography and how she pursued this via a Fine Art foundation course - Realising that photography was not for her, and switching to an academic degree in English Literature, History of Art and Fine Art despite not possessing the qualifications she needed - Working in museums and galleries, applying for her Masters degree and crowd-funding her studies before being awarded a scholarship - The idea for Bloody Good Period, working with asylum seekers at drop-in centres and what she has learned so far - The future of women's health, political policy around periods and education in the sphere Where to find Gabby and Bloody Good Period: - Website: https://www.bloodygoodperiod.com - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bloodygoodperiod/ - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shereenkassam/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/bloodygood__ - Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bloodygoodperiod/ - Gabby's Masters: https://www.arts.ac.uk/subjects/business-and-management-and-science/postgraduate/ma-applied-imagination-in-the-creative-industries-csm Follow us for more: - Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smashingtheceiling/ - Twitter: https://twitter.com/smashingceiling - Facebook: www.facebook.com/smashingtheceiling - LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/naomi-mellor-171550150/

FTFO about Periods - supported by Bloody Good Period Freaking the F*ck Out is a podcast where Kelsey Bennett and Maddy Scott examine the inner workings of their anxious minds. Covering everything from the minute to the very big and life changing, they’re not mental health professionals but they do happen to have some experience in the field. Periods! No, don't switch off! They're interesting. And annoying. And mysterious. In this episode, the chat is all about 'that time of the month' - the science and the stigma. There is also a slightly surreal Q&A at the end, from menfolk who have questions and aren't afraid to ask them (and mask them with humour). We're thrilled that this episode is supported by Bloody Good Period - a fantastic company who take donations and supply them to asylum seeker drop-in centres and food banks in London and the UK. They work to alleviate period poverty and open up the conversation around menstruation to all and bloody sundry!

This week’s episode goes where many less evolved men won’t dare go. The menstrual cycle! Guest Tashina Southard talks about the service organization - Aunt Flo-town - that she helped start in Florence, Alabama. Aunt Flo-town was started in an effort to provide women with feminine hygiene products no matter their situation or whether they forgot to grab a tampon before rushing to work. We chat about what the organization does, disaster relief funding, the politics that impact periods and why she started this organization. The Who’s that lady (from history)? is Joanne Simpson, the first woman to receive her degree in meteorology. Episode Resources: Aunt Flo-town, Bloody Good Period, Room in the Inn
