I got some cherries fresh off a friend's tree AND happened to find a recipe that called for cherries! What are the chances?! I've been enjoying this for lunch for the past few days, and it's not getting boring! It is so fresh with a little bit of tartness... mmmm!

What is your fave food of the summer?!

01/08/2019

In this episode, I go through 5 foods that will help you move forward on your goal to happy periods!

I share what to do before you start as well as why they are helpful and how to purchase and use these foods. I believe that it is easier to add in good stuff than it is to take out bad. So that is what I talk about.

As always, you can contact me through FB or email: [email protected]. If you think you need added support, do not hesitate to contact me.

You can also let me know what you thought of this video and/or topics you would find interesting in the future.

Yours in plant love,

This week I am solo, and I discuss a few points about the great book I just read called P***y: A Reclamation by Regena Thomashauer.

You'll find out if I think this book is a must-read or bust...read?!

There is a part in the book about how we as women tend to relate to one another and it was a huge eye-opener for me.

If you like what you see in this video, let me know. Message me here or email me at [email protected].

Enjoy, friends!

🌺Hey there! Welcome to the new episode of Menstrual Matters!🌺

I am chatting with Sarah Szeszorak all about her menstrual history and present.

This is a great episode because Sarah shares details of her menstrual issues that we do not often hear. She shares what issues she had, where she is now, and how she got here!

It is a great episode for those who may be having bad periods, but do not know they are not ideal. I have noticed a lot of people who menstruate think the suffering is normal and what it means to be a woman.

Listen to Sarah's story, you won't regret it!

I can personally say I have been through this. Coming out of the doctor's office when you have been told that the pain and discomfort you feel is all in your head, can really make you question your body and your mind.

This video is both frustrating and liberating. It shows us that we are not the problem. The problem is the larger medical system as well as how women are viewed in our society.

It reminds us that we know when something is off with our body, and we can fight if and when we need to - to make sure we get the care and support we need.
