from Birthright with Taylor Tatum · host Taylor Tatum

If menstruation is one of the most natural processes in the female body, how did it become something to hide?In this episode, Taylor explores the historical and cultural roots of menstrual shame from ancient red tents and moon lodges to the rise of patriarchal, productivity-driven systems that disrupted cyclical wisdom, and how modern culture continues to reinforce that disconnection.You’ll walk away understanding that menstrual shame is inherited, not personal and that reclaiming your cycle is an act of remembrance.Taylor also shares simple, practical ways to normalize the conversation tracking your cycle, inviting your partner into it, and creating your own sacred space during your bleed.Your body was never the problem. The lineage was interrupted... and we are the generation remembering.----------✨ Links & Resources ✨⁠20% off Natural Cycles App⁠⁠10% off Oura Ring⁠⁠Free Online Women's Community⁠⁠⁠⁠Letters from the Hearth Email Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠Explore Taylor's Content on Linktree ⁠⁠Taylor is co-hosting The Way Back Home Women's Retreat: Mountain Edition in Colorado, June 4-7 - ⁠⁠check it out here!
