It’s a vajical moment in every girl’s life: the day she becomes a woman. It’s just like a Hallmark Movie — if Hallmark movies were about blood clots, crippling cramps and rage-filled late night searches for chocolate. Each of us experiences this transition to womanhood in our own special way, and it’s a day of your life you will never forget…no matter how hard you try. On this episode four very funny and brave women share their hilarious first period stories.   SUWON WEAVER First up, is the hilarious writer/comedian Suwon Weaver @suwonweaver whose mother, despite being an actual female mother person herself, completely unravels when her daughter gets her period.     L.J. NOEL The very funny L.J. Noel gets her first period in the most dramatic way possible, and unfortunately she’s rewarded with a large standing ovation.   THEA TOUCHTON Actress Thea Touchton @theatouchton joins the sisterhood of the stained underpants in the company of her grandmother who, caught somewhat off guard, outfits her with one of her diapers.   Finally, award-winning TV director and host of the podcast Mojo Girl Madness, Katy Garretson @katygarretson joins the prison of womanhood in an actual prison.   Here’s a photo of skin tight Dittos just to show you exactly how difficult it would be to hide a massive sanitary napkin in these groovy jeans.   I mentioned the amazing first period videos produced by the folks at HelloFlo, including The Period Fairy, First Moon Party and my daughter’s favorite, Camp Gyno. These videos are amazing and really changed how we talk and laugh about first periods. Thank you HelloFlo for being so fearless and funny and completely changing the way we talk about first periods.

Dalla Maratona di Londra del 2015 agli spot di Hello Flo: parlare di mestruazioni non è un tabù. La pianta del giorno è l'Ortica.

Goodness, y’all! One of the hardest battles of motherhood is the one in our heads! Constantly struggling to keep up with all the things can be overwhelming. Really overwhelming. Johnna and Laura talk through the struggles of “mom guilt” and how we can be more supportive of others and stop the shaming that can happen — intentionally and unintentionally. Johnna shares her latest Netflix recommendation (Nate Bargatze: The Tennessee Kid) as well as her growing affection for #thatbowllife. Laura’s been deep diving into the YouTube world for class prep and stumbled up some really funny commercials (AT&T Just Ok March Madness) that you do not want to miss. Hello Flo will have you giggling at the realities of the facts of life! We’re so thankful you’re here and hope you’ll leave a rating and review — and share with a friend! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Sarah and Susie are talking about the birds and the bees, and how sex ed in schools leaves something to be desired. Hear about Sarah's waxing and tanning routine, and why she lets it all hang out. We talk about the way names spread throughout the country, and why certain names become popular. Plus, we interview author and founder of HelloFlo, Naama Bloom about women's bodies, sex, and how to teach our kids about puberty.

Does the way a woman talks about her body determine how she will engage with the world? Naama Bloom, founder of Hello Flo, has been opening up the conversation for young women about their bodies and their health through humor and straight answers. Her book, Hello Flo: The Guide, Period. empowers young women to ask questions, make good choices, change the conversation and change their lives.

In this bold, savvy, and feminist new take on a body book, Bloom hopes to remove the stigma attached to puberty. When her women’s health site – HelloFlo.com – launched in 2015, they did just that, with two groundbreaking videos that went viral: “First Moon Party” (41+ million YouTube views) and “Camp Gyno” (12+ million YouTube views). Her new book is equally frank. HELLOFLO: THE GUIDE, PERIOD makes health and wellness as easy as possible for young girls to understand, helping them navigate everything from body changes to emotional well-being. Naama Bloom will discuss her new book, as well as these relevant topics: ADVOCACY FOR WOMEN’S HEALTH Studies show that doctors have a tendency not to take a woman’s pain seriously, undertreat them when they do mention symptoms, and take a longer period of time to actually give them medication. Couple that with a young woman’s age, and it’s no wonder that so many young women and girls not only don’t get the help they need, but grow up thinking that they don’t deserve it in the first place. http://msmagazine.com/blog/ 2017/10/09/must-help-girls- young-women-advocate-health/ BIRTH CONTROL MANDATE The Trump administration’s recent rollback of the Obamacare birth control mandate hit women hard, and not just for those using the pill for family planning. It’s also prescribed for a variety of medical conditions, including endometriosis, irregular periods, chronic acne, and hormonal imbalances that affect countless women and teens. http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/06/ health/women-react-trump- birth-control-mandate-bn/ index.html HUMAN RIGHTS In developing countries, many girls grow up in communities where menstruation is shrouded in shame and stigma, misinformation is rampant, and clean menstrual supplies are scarce. Girls and women miss classes, drop out of school, and fail to reach their full potential because of menstruation. Over the past few years, a “menstruation movement” has swept the U.S., aiming to destigmatize periods and bring safer products to women and girls everywhere. http://www.newsweek.com/2017/ 07/21/men-fighting- menstruation-shaming- developing-world-634902.html GENDER TABOOS A Nepali “menstruation hut” ritual claimed the life of a teenage girl in July after she was bitten by a snake while banished to a cowshed during a menstruation ritual. The 19-year-old victim was taking part in chhaupadi, a common practice in the west of Nepal in which women, considered unclean during menstruation, are sequestered for the extent of their periods. Chhaupadi dates back centuries and has its roots in Hindu taboos over menstruation. Outlawed by Nepal’s Supreme Court in 2005, the practice continues amid claims the country is turning a blind eye to the deaths of women and girls. http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/10/ asia/nepal-menstruation-hut- deaths-outrage/index.html http://helloflo.com/

Naama Bloom is best know as the founder of HelloFlo, the mail-order feminine product platform that shot to viral fame with its hilarious videos like 'Camp Gyno,' 'First Moon Party,' and 'A Vistit from Aunt Flo.' On one hand, we should all be so grateful that Bloom and her startup got us talking, laughing, learning and sharing about our bodies in a healthy way. On the other? It was 2014, and shouldn't we be beyond all that? But we weren't, and Bloom helped us get there, and forever she'll be immortalized as an women's activist. The new classic book on puberty for girls  She is also an activist on behalf of girls, with her new book  HelloFlo: The Guide, Period.: The Everything Puberty Book for the Modern Girl (Penguin, October 17, 2017). As you will hear in this episode, it won me over with its first lines, devoted to the fact that every woman, every day, will have crust in her panties. I have spent my whole life — all of which was seeped in feminism — feeling a little bit or a lot weird, ashamed and gross for this reality. This doesn't need to happen any more! The book also covers: the history of the styles of pubic hair, breast size and shape and eyebrows. Lots of anecdotes from women who share how they feel about their bodies and puberty. It is smart, frank and real in a way no other book for girls — or women for that matter — is. "Full bush," is the name of a chapter. Don't tell her, but I ordered a copy for my daughter for Christmas, and I think you should, too. The new classic, coming right to you.

Hi there and welcome to episode 34 of Couragemakers!   This week I had the joy of speaking to Sanah Jivani. Sanah is a honors college student and the founder of a non-profit organization called The Love Your Natural Self Foundation, which focuses on empowering individuals through events, movements and hands-on sessions. She started this organization after losing all of her hair to Alopecia in the seventh grade and struggling with wigs, bullying and low self-worth. Now, her non-profit organization hosts projects in 45 schools and 28 countries worldwide.   In this episode, Sanah shares her journey of building a movement from a personal experience she went through, how she is challenging thousands of people around the world to let go of the one thing that holds them back and the many lessons she has learned along the way.   We dive into the myths and reality of self love, how to look after yourself while putting good shit in the world and not feeling like it is your responsibility to fix everything and how Sanah's own personal growth has transformed her organisation.   Sanah shares really great advice for anyone who is struggling on their own, and some great practical tips for anyone who wants to make a change in the world but doesn't know where to start, or has an idea but feels apprehensive about starting.   Sanah is an absolute joy to speak to and I love how honest she is about the challenges she has faced, how her organisation has grown out of these challenges and how vulnerable she is about her own journey of self love. I have so much admiration for Sanah's mission and what she's putting in the world, and I'm so glad we get to really go behind the scenes and hear all about it!   Enjoy the show! About Sanah   Sanah Jivani is an honors college student double majoring in sociology and communications at the University of Texas at San Antonio.

On this week’s Past Present podcast, Nicole Hemmer, Natalia Mehlman Petrzela, and Neil Young discuss Jeb Bush and the history of frontrunners, the modern period, and trigger warnings.  Here are some links and references mentioned during this week’s show: Jeb Bush was the presumed frontrunner for the Republican nomination for president in 2016, but he’s quickly lost the top spot in the campaign. Frontrunners have often been unable to secure their party’s nomination. Neil tracked “frontrunner” on Google’s Ngram Viewer and found it was first used in 1924, but until 1960 it was mostly used in the context of horseracing. Niki noted that the jump of “frontrunner” language from horseracing to politics after 1960 was in keeping with what a 2012 Atlantic article had called the “Sports Center-ization” of political journalism.Menstruation has a long history. Some women are practicing “free bleeding” as a feminist project to reclaim the period from its history of shame and taboo. Natalia recommended Lara Freidenfelds’ history of menstruation in the twentieth century and an Atlantic article about the history of the tampon. The marketing of tampons and other feminine hygiene products have changed remarkably in recent years, perhaps most clearly in the humorous Camp Gyno ads for the tampon subscription service, HelloFlo.   The controversy over “trigger warnings” on college campuses today has become a hot media topic, but is it a real phenomenon? A recent Atlantic article by Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt lamenting the “coddling of the American mind” certainly seemed to think so.  While liberal students in the 1960s protested for greater free speech on campus, liberal students today have called on universities to limit and publish offensive speech for the purposes of ensuring a “safe space.” Natalia noted this had also transformed how college students are dealing with sexual assault on campus, holding universities more accountable for these crimes than the perpetrators, a development Natalia has written about for the Notches blog.  In our regular closing feature, What’s Making History: Natalia discussed SeaWorld San Diego’s decision to end its killer whale performances after protests following the release of the 2013 documentary “Black Fish.”Neil commented on the defeat of the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO) last week, a nondiscrimination measure that opponents termed the “bathroom bill.” Neil wrote for Slate last week that conservative activists have used fears over public restrooms to defeat equal rights measures since the 1970s. Niki shared an article that asserted the ballpoint pen, rather than the computer, was what killed cursive writing.  

Chris, Robert and Jackie discuss our latest article on content marketing, Hello Flo, the Dollar Shave Club and more.
