Period Pain Is Not "Normal": Fighting Medical Dismissal & Period Stigma | Chelsea Jambo of OURbody

Today we’re welcoming Chelsea Jambo, the founder and CEO of OURbody, a hormonal wellness brand that is fighting period pain, supporting menstrual wellness, and drawing a line in the sand for women’s healthcare. This conversation with Chelsea felt like a collective exhale. It was raw, it was cathartic, and it touched on the exact reasons why "The Health Class She Deserves" exists in the first place. (Period pain is not normal!) Chelsea’s journey started in corporate boardrooms where she was expected to "power through" debilitating period pain, and it reached a breaking point when she was denied a basic breast cancer screening at 24 because she was "too young, "despite her family history. If you’ve ever been told your pain is "normal," been dismissed by a doctor, or felt like you had to shrink your physical needs to succeed in a male-dominated career, this episode is your permission slip to demand more. Our conversation highlights: The "too young" trap: Chelsea shares her frustrating experience of being refused breast cancer screening and how she advocates for her health. The abnormality of pain: Why we have normalized suffering for so long and how to reframe the narrative that "pain is just part of being a woman." The corporate sacrifice: A look at the invisible toll women pay when leading in male-dominated spaces while navigating hormonal health. The pillars of OURbody: exploring how transparency, community, and radical self-kindness became the foundation of her brand and her teas. Chelsea’s story is a powerful reminder that we have to be the change we want to see in the world. OURbody isn't just a wellness brand: It’s a movement rooted in the belief that you deserve a balanced, pain-free life.
