Periods + Religion FLOW Podcast

On a very special episode of FLOW, Sarah and Jessica talk Religion + Periods - more specifically, they discuss how a variety of theologies address the physical act of menstruation… or rather how religions might not address menstruation…. let alone *extreme* menstruation.

 

While extreme menstrual experiences can *feel* punishing, menstruation is not a punishment. Sarah and Jessica share contributions from Morgan Siggard and Dr. Perkins as they unpack the religious-shame associated with periods and the importance of working with different cultural practices in the doctor’s office. 

FLOW continues its mission to normalize conversation around menstruation - straight talk about extreme periods available on monthly episodes - released the second Thursday of each month!
