We're replaying the Best of Heavy Flow while we're on hiatus over the summer! Hit subscribe to get new episodes in the fall.
Today I'm talking to Abby Norman, author of Ask Me About My Uterus. We discuss Abby's experience with painful periods and endometriosis, how women's pain has been normalized in our culture, and the changing period narrative and why pain needs to be a part of that conversation.
What we discussed: Abby’s early experience with painful periods The debilitating pain that changed her life forever Our culture of discounting and disregarding women’s pain How we prime young women for a lifetime of pain The importance of discussing pain in the new period conversation Connect with Abby:Website
