If you’re new and wondering where to begin, scroll nearly to the bottom and find Bloody Horrendous.

It was my second episode, and it’s still the one people land on.

It’s about first periods.

Not the neat version. The real one.

• What it was actually like

• What we weren’t told

• What’s changed (thank god)

• What hasn’t (of course)

It’s funny in parts, uncomfortable in others, and very recognisable if you’ve ever had a body that does things without asking your permission.

THE C-WORD WITH CATHARINE REDDEN

A podcast for difficult women.

Inside:

• Bodies that don’t behave

• Anxiety that doesn’t respond to medication tested predominantly on men, while being told to just meditate

• Ageing without apology

• Small, everyday moments where sexism just… hums in the background

No self-improvement arc.

No neat conclusions.

Just the ongoing, slightly absurd experience of being a woman paying attention.

This is what it sounds like from inside one life.

Not polished.

Not resolved.

Just said out loud.

Welcome to the party of women’s direct experience.
