As women, some of us cannot imagine a time where we haven’t had our periods. For those of us who deal with the bloody details of our menstrual cycles and everything that comes with them, our culture has trained us to find our own way to literally go with the flow. In this episode, Aliza speaks with the Founder of PERIOD and August, Nadya Okamoto, on what it’s going to take to end the stigma around periods, what period poverty is and how we can recognize it, and how she’s revolutionizing the way we talk about and deal with our periods.
