Episode 5 - Beyond the Average Cycle

from Not Designed for the Grind · host Period Reality

Menstruation is where the cycle begins, but it’s also where many experiences go unspoken. Marlou and Kat explore what periods really look like beyond the “average”, from heavy bleeding and exhaustion to the uncertainty of knowing what’s normal. They reflect on how these experiences can impact daily life, confidence and work, and why so many women feel the need to power through instead of seeking support. This episode brings together real stories, practical insights and a reminder that awareness starts with paying attention to your own body.Content Warning: This episode includes a brief mention of miscarriage.
