34 - When Women Stop Whispering with Kyla de Clifford.

As the year draws to a close, Kyla pauses - not to summarise, but to sit inside what this season of listening has actually revealed.

Recorded from Melbourne, in a softer and more honest state than usual, this solo episode reflects on thirty-three conversations about women’s health, relief, regulation, and the quiet ways women learn to manage their bodies inside imperfect systems.

At the centre of the episode is a question Kyla has been carrying since the very beginning of the podcast:

What actually happens when women stop whispering about medicine?

This is not an episode about trends, tips, or solutions.

It’s about:

• why women whisper in the first place
• how shame still shapes the way relief is accessed and talked about
• what Kyla has noticed listening to women across diagnoses, ages, and lives

Throughout the episode, Kyla speaks candidly about:

• whispering as a learned survival strategy
• and the steadiness she witnessed when women were given language, curiosity, and trust

Rather than positioning the plant as a fix, this episode explores what cannabis use revealed:
 the gaps in care, the lack of education, and the unmet needs women have been navigating for years.

This conversation is for anyone who has:

• softened their language to be taken seriously
• questioned whether their relief was “allowed”
• carried shame alongside something that helped
• or felt like they had to work it out on their own
