Puberty, But Make It Public
from Akka's Unsolicited Advice · host Aarthi
Send us Fan MailFrom awkward first periods and learning how to use a pad, to sadangus and realizing your entire extended family somehow knew what was happening before you did... this episode is all about growing up.We laugh our way through the chaos of figuring out periods, the advice we got (whether we asked for it or not), and the reality of navigating a topic that was somehow both completely private and everyone's business at the same time.We also talk about balancing the cultural traditions we grew up with, the taboos surrounding menstruation, and how our perspectives have shifted toward body positivity, autonomy, and being able to talk about our bodies without embarrassment.Whether you had a sadangu, learned everything from your friends, or are still wondering why no one ever explained what was going on, this episode is a reminder that none of us really had it figured out, and that's okay.
