The Tale of the Period Piece

Nicole and Margaret open up about the conversations they’re having with their daughters about periods—what’s normal, what’s not, and why so many girls grow up thinking painful or disruptive cycles are “just part of being a woman.” They unpack the cultural taboo around menstruation, how it shapes girls’ understanding of their bodies, and the serious conditions that often get dismissed as “normal periods.” This episode is an honest, practical guide for parents who want to break the silence and give their daughters real information and confidence.
