228: MANstration: Why Your Partner Should Know about your Menstrual Cycle with Alyx Coble-Frakes

  How much does your partner know about your menstrual cycle? How much consideration of your period do you take when planning your monthly schedule? Author of the book, Manstration, Alyx Coble-Frakes is joining me to talk about how to become a 'cycle scientist' to make your cycle work for you! We talk about how to bring your partner into this conversation, using a period planner and how legislation muddles things.    *This episode contains strong language!   Bio: Alyx Coble-Frakes is a passionate social entrepreneur.
