In this episode, Dr. Jessica Steier and Dr. Sarah Scheinman welcome Dr. Jackie Maybin to explore the often overlooked issue of heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) and its significant impact on women's health. The scientists examine the prevalence of this condition, the persistent societal stigma that prevents open discussion, and the challenges in diagnosis and treatment. They highlight the innovative Missed Vital Sign program, which aims to standardize assessment of menstrual health as a vital clinical indicator. Throughout the conversation, the experts emphasize the critical need for comprehensive data collection, increased awareness, and personalized treatment approaches to address menstrual health disorders. The discussion underscores the importance of advancing research and advocacy in a field that affects a substantial portion of the population but has historically received inadequate attention.

Sex ist für die meisten von uns positiv besetzt. Trotzdem fällt es vielen im Laufe der Jahre immer schwerer sich dazu zu "überwinden."Das kann natürlich ganz viele Gründe haben. Einer davon ist die Scham. Warum gibt es sie eigentlich, was will sie uns sagen, und wie können wir sie überwinden, wenn sie uns im Weg steht?Hat sie immer etwas damit zu tun, dass wir älter werden und uns in unseren Körper vielleicht nicht mehr so wohlfühlen? Oder liegt der Hase woanders im Pfeffer?Die Autorin Christine Koschmieder hat sich jahrelang mit viel Alkohol über diese inneren Hürden geholfen. Aber dann wurde sie trocken und brauchte eine neue Strategie.Mit ihr spricht Julia darüber, wie sie danach für ein - sehr lesenswertes Buch - ihre eigene Sexualität erforschte. Und darüber, wie unser aller Sexualität schon in unserer frühen Kindheit und Jugend geprägt wird. Denn da lernen wir, oft auch nonverbal, wie zum Beispiel in der eigenen Familie auf Körper geschaut, wie über sie gesprochen und wie sie berührt werden.Hier geht es zum Buch von Christine Koschmieder:Christine Koschmieder – SchambereichExkursion ins Sumpfgebiet unserer SeeleKanon Verlag, 184 Seiten, 20 EuroHier geht es direkt zum Skin-Code-Kurs: brigitte.de/meno-skin, Rabattcode ist MENO15.Hier geht es zu Christine KoschmiederHier geht es zu Christine Koschmieder Instagram.Hier geht es zum Newsletter "Saisonwechsel" von der BRIGITTE.Hier geht es zum neuen meno_brigitte-Insta-Account.Hier geht es zu Dianas Instagram.Hier geht es zu Julias Instagram.+++ Weitere Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern findet Ihr hier: https://linktr.ee/menoanmich +++Ihr habt Anregungen, wollt uns Eure Geschichte erzählen oder selbst bei uns zu Gast im Podcast sein?

As part of our ongoing series about the connection between menstrual cycle awareness and our health & wellbeing today we're exploring how getting to know your cycle can be a vital foundation for mental and emotional health.Alexandra and Sjanie are both retired therapists, and today they share their learnings from their own personal cycle awareness practice, as well as working with thousands of students over several decades about how mental and emotional health rests on us knowing ourselves, feeling our value and worth, and understanding the nature of cyclicity - all of which are skills we learn from connecting to our cycles. We also explore how the root of much of our collective menstrual and emotional turmoil as women and people who have, or have had cycles is the cultural denial, shutting down, ignoring, belittling, and suppression of our cyclical nature. We explore:Alexandra's personal journey with dissolving the shame of her early years and claiming her worth through cycle awareness and menopause, so that now she is emotionally resilient to the extent that she is immune to toxic shame.The two stable poles of the menstrual cycle, and the two transitional phases and how to work with them all to understand ourselves better and create emotional and psychological wellbeing. How following the call to stop and rest at menstruation is medicinal for us emotionally and psychologically. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

197. How Your Menstrual Cycle is a Compass Leading you Towards Joy (Edveeje Fairchild)

Menstrual cycle awareness can guide us to create more rest in our lives, including a mini menstrual sabbatical each month to renew us and restore our connection to joy. Our guest today, author, poet and teacher Edveeje Fairchild has been a devotee to rest for her entire life, having been raised in a spiritual tradition that honoured the weekly sabbath. And this non-negotiable rhythm of rest has been one of the key practices that has formed her philosophy of joy as a compass for our lives.Edveeje's first book, Joy as the Compass: Freeing Yourself from the Seven Activist Addictions has just been published. Today we're exploring how menstrual cycle awareness is a vital ingredient to a joy-focused life, through the lens of our environmental activist work together, and how we applied menstrual cycle awareness and cyclical living within the reforestation non-profit TreeSisters to plant a million trees. Edveeje also shares generously from the midst of her menopause transition, which has included the trauma of the sudden loss of her beloved twin sister, as well as the devastation of her small mountain town due to hurricane Helene. We explore how her connection to the ancient trees and wild nature in the ‘Mother Forest' around her have held her in this sacred menopause territory, even when life feels like death. We explore:What it means to be the ‘dream of the earth', how our menstrual cycles can help us to reconnect our inner nature with our outer nature and show up in our full glory, on behalf of Life itself. How Edveeje used menstrual cycle awareness to create all the policies, procedures, internal operations and organisational planning tools at TreeSisters, and anchor the theory of menstruality in very practical ways inside an emerging international non-profit. How Edveeje's discovered that her inner spring was her challenging hotspot in the menstrual cycle, and how this eventually led her to take a long sabbatical and follow the promptings of her menstrual cycle towards deeper joy. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

When Toko-pa Turner first started to experience signs of perimenopause, she was simultaneously diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called rheumatoid arthritis, and the combination led to severe insomnia. Sleep deprivation is challenging for all of us, but in Toko-pa's case it was especially disorientating because for over twenty-five years she has been working with dreams in a mythopoetic way to answer life's deep soul questions.Sometimes called a Midwife of the Psyche, Toko-pa is the author of The Dreaming Way, and her work focuses on belonging, restoring the feminine, reconciling paradox, elevating grief, and facilitating ritual. She founded the Dream School in 2001 and has now grown a network of more than a hundred thousand dreamers worldwide.Toko-pa's journey with her dreams as her guide began when she was orphaned in her teens and entered the care system, and in our conversation today we track Toko-pa's personal dreaming journey, as well as how we can all take an intimate, deep-dive into the magical world of our dreams as a gateway to a different kind of intelligence.We explore:Why our cultures often dismiss the power of our dreams and how to reclaim your dreaming capacities in a world that has been stuck in a centuries-long patriarchal phase of worshipping rationality and materialism. How to ‘court' our dreams, and why we don't need to hire an expert to help us interpret our dreams, but rather to follow the wisdom of indigenous cultures and reclaim our dreaming as our mother tongue. How to keep a dream journal, and the key practice to do when you wake up after a big dream to ensure you remember it and can connect to the power of the symbols and wisdom within it. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Long before chocolate eggs and Sunday services, cultures around the world honored the Earth's reawakening in alignment with Goddess traditions - Eostre, Ishtar, Inanna, and hundreds of others - who embodied life itself, renewal, fertility, the sacred power of the body, and the great turning of the seasons.We'll explore the mythic origins of Easter, before Christianity, the rise and fall of Goddess Cultures, the symbolic significance of Spring, underworld journeys and how they show up in our lives, as well as what it means to reclaim the sacred feminine in a modern world.This episode is both a remembrance and a reclamation, a call to akaen the goddess that lives within all of us and listen for the song of the Earth as she rises again into a new cycle of life and fertility.In this episode you'll hear:00:22 - Introduction 03:15 - Grounding Practice04:32 - A Peek Into Ancient Goddess Cultures 07:07 - Every Woman Carries The Echoes of the Goddess07:39 - Feminine Rites of Passage08:23 - The Destruction of Goddess Traditions11:35 - Christianity's Co-Opting of Ancient Celebrations 12:45 - Why Eggs + Bunnies Represent Easter14:03 - What Easter Was Really About15:25 - The Goddesses of Rebirth: Ishtar, Oestre, Inanna, Persephone, and More17:52 - Death and Rebirth Stories Have Always Been A Part of Human Consciousness18:19 - The Story of Inanna's Descent Into The Underworld27:51 - The Three Stages of a Rite of Passage and How They Show Up In Our Lives As Women and Mothers31:19 - Rites of Passage as a Part of Female Biology and How Our Feminine Cycles Mirror The Cycles of Nature33:27 - The Ancient Symbols of Easter: Eggs, Hares, Water, + Fire40:06 - May We Remember: A Wish For Us All at the Turning of Spring40:50 - Closing Meditation: Awakening The Goddess Within Send me a text!

Die Autorin Kristine Bilkau schreibt über die großen Fragen, die das ganz normale Leben an uns stellt, so klug, tief und unaufgeregt wie keine andere. In ihrem aktuellen Roman "Halbinsel" geht es um eine Mutter in der Lebensmitte und ihre Tochter, die eigentlich schon ausgezogen und berufstätig war, und nach einem Zusammenruch ins Elternhaus zurückkehrt.Leise, präzise und exemplarisch erzählt sie, wie es uns gelingen kann, in der Lebensmitte neu aufzubrechen. Und sie gibt so gute Denkanstöße, wir wir einander aus den Rollen entlassen, wenn die Kinder erwachsen werden.

We're experiencing an epidemic of chronic fatigue and burnout, especially for women, and people with marginalised identities. It's part of our modern day polycrisis, and in many ways the exhaustion we're experiencing in our individual bodies mirrors the environmental challenges that are ravaging our earth, our larger body. We're driving both to the very edges of their capacity. Beautifully, the practice of menstrual cycle awareness can help us to live in alignment with our natural rhythms, to embrace rest and prevent overwhelm and burnout. We can connect with the four phases of the menstrual cycle as our own personal energy management system. And when we listen for and cooperate with the natural ebb and flow of our inner seasons, we rebel against the subtle but pervasive messaging that we should be more, bigger, faster. We feel better, we're more creative, more powerful and we model the much-needed art of sustainable living. We explore:What Sjanie learned about sustainable, cyclical living from a fierce lioness she encountered in a dream.The creative power that opens up within us when we dare (and are able) to step out of hustle mode, stop producing and surrender into non-doing at menstruation. Alexandra's personal story of discovering the power of stopping, through years of intense menstrual pain, which she was eventually able to heal through the power of rest and listening to her body. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

This week's episode of Sistas, Let's Talk is a repeat of the show broadcast on 7th December 2023PNG Women's Doctor, Lynda Sirigoi, comes across a common problem – many of her patients simply don't know about their own female anatomy and how it works. In the Pacific, these open discussions can be hampered by taboo or religion. But without them, women and girls can face anything from being unprepared for their first period, to making uninformed decisions when it comes to health and reproductive choices...Not to mention disempowerment. So, how do we start these sacred conversations? And who do we start them with?

Today we're continuing our exploration around the fundamentals of the practice of menstrual cycle awareness, through the lens of some of the frequently asked questions from our community, such as what to do if your menstrual cycle doesn't look like the archetypal cycle, how to track your cycle if you have menstrual health challenges, and how to talk about cycle awareness with your loved ones. The golden thread running through every response from Sjanie and Alexandra is the one and only rule of Menstrual Cycle Awareness which we call the Big Red Rule: that your own unique experience of your menstrual cycle is the most important thing, with all its quirks, strangeness and challenges. As Alexandra shares in the conversation, your job as a student of your cycle is to stay loyal to exactly what you're experiencing. In other words, there are no ‘shoulds' with menstrual cycle awareness, and there is no perfect cycle to achieve. The practice of menstrual cycle awareness is a homecoming to yourself, in a world that conditions us to look outside of ourselves for the answers. The power of the cycle rests in you experiencing your own cycle, and trusting your experience of your unique  strengths, vulnerabilities and needs, exactly as they are on each cycle day. We explore:The ‘crossover days' - the shift from one inner season (menstrual cycle phase) to another and how to track and manage the disturbance that can arise, particularly between inner summer (ovulation) and inner autumn (the premenstruum).How to practice menstrual cycle awareness when you have menstrual health challenges like irregular cycles, period pain, endometriosis, PCOS, PMS or PMDD, infertility challenges or other issues, and how your cycle awareness practice can be integral to your healing journey.What it can look like to share your menstrual cycle awareness practice with your partner, family, friends and even your work colleagues. ---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

In our forties, many of us hit a wall. It can be a time when our responsibilities are at an all time high, just when our bodies are telling us - sometimes very loudly - that it's time to change the way we've been living and working so far. Our guest today, renowned visionary, coach and catalyst Dr Joanna Martin helps us understand how to navigate this phase of life which is often called perimenopause, and which Red School founders Alexandra and Sjanie call the Quickening, through the lens of the archetype of ‘superwoman'.As the founder of One of many, Jo's organisation has supported over 70,000 grassroots women leaders to have a greater impact without burnout. She recently published her book, Superwoman - Escaping The Myth and in our conversation today we explore how the superwoman archetype shows up in our lives, as well as how to step out of superwoman mode, embrace community and get your needs met, even with all the responsibilities you hold. This conversation is for you if you're in your forties and looking for ways to show up without burning out. We speak a lot about parenting, so it's especially for you if this is your path. However, it's also for you in any phase of your life, if you recognise that you have a tendency to try to push through and do too much, and you want to work cyclically to honour your needs.We explore:The origins of the superwoman myth, and why it drives some of us to embody anti-superwoman, which means we don't activate our impact potential.Why we can only burn out if we're not in our body and Jo's practical approach to get your needs met - the 'Needs Creed'. Jo's personal Quickening story of meeting her increased need for sleep and alone time, and navigating big emotions as she journeys into perimenopause. ---Join our free online course - Love Your Cycle: Discover the power of menstrual cycle awareness to revolutionise your life here: www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

One of The Cut's parenting columnists and official friend-of-the-pod, Amil Niazi, joins us to talk about her recent essay on weaning her kids off YouTube. We've covered screen time, but this time we're talking about algorithmic content. Is the algorithm as unavoidable as it feels to many of us? Or is it worth it for parents to push back — even when it makes for some awkward moments with other families — and try to hold out as long as they can? If your kids are already hooked on YouTube, like Amil's were, is there a way to reign it in without a dreaded, endless household meltdown? And if you do manage to kick the algo out of your home, and come out as a non-YouTube family, is the grass really greener? Plus, Sarah and Miranda on “life's hack” (life's ONE hack), the very corporeal fascinations of switching to menstrual cups, first periods, and what it feels like to finally be deeply learning about our menstrual cycles in our 40s. * My Family's YouTube Ban by Amil Niazi (The Cut) * The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt* If Books Could Kill review of The Anxious Generation* The Fun Cup* My Son's Favorite Toy Is A Tampon by Sarah (Scary Mommy)* Babeland * Period: The Real Story of Menstruation by Kate Clancy* 28-ish Days Later BBC Podcast * Second Life by Amanda Hess (episode coming soon!) * Teens, Social Media and Technology 2023 (Pew Research Report). “Roughly nine-in-ten teens say they use YouTube, making it the most widely used platform measured in our survey.”* Meta (Facebook & Instagram & WhatsApp parent company) is not going to moderate content anymore.

From berry fasts to the Flower Dance, Indigenous communities are returning to ceremony and teachings that honour a menstruator's Moon Time. Rosanna hears from three women who are changing the conversation around menstruation from what is often talked about as “dirty” or “shameful” to something sacred. It is a time of rejuvenation, selfcare and celebration.

So, what signs should raise concern when it comes to menstruation, and how can we manage symptoms effectively? Professor Sarah Berry and Dr. Jen Gunter join us to break the silence around menstruation.
