Is Period Pain "Normal"? Unpacking our relationship with pain, oppression, and sovereignty
Manage episode 346265380 series 3412937
"Period pain isn't normal." We hear this all the time in the menstrual health world and social media -- and I've said it too!
While it's true that period pain isn't inevitable or typically optimal, orienting to pain as bad or as a pathology doesn't serve us, either.
In this episode, I'm sharing some of my thoughts on this phrase, the recent pushback to it, and how we can orient to our sovereignty, agency, and innate healing brilliance of our bodies.
