Everything You Weren’t Taught About Your Period (But Need to Know)
Let’s be honest. For something that happens to half the population, periods are still treated like a top-secret mission. We whisper about them, hide pads up our sleeves, and silently panic when we feel that familiar twinge at an inconvenient time.
“Menstruation is not a problem, it is a sign of health. The problem is the silence that surrounds it.”
What if we could change that? What if, instead of confusion, you had clarity? Instead of anxiety, you had confidence?
For too long, the conversation around menstrual hygiene has been a mix of outdated myths, awkward health classes, and confusing advice. We’re told what not to do, but rarely are we given a straightforward guide on how to manage our periods in a way that feels healthy, empowering, and completely normal.
That’s about to change.
I’m thrilled to announce a brand-new, six-part blog series: Your Ultimate Guide to Menstrual Wellness. This isn’t just another collection of articles. It’s a complete roadmap designed to take you from period novice to period pro, answering the questions you’ve been too shy to ask and equipping you with the knowledge to care for your body with confidence.
“Your cycle is a vital sign, just like your heartbeat or your breath. Learning its language is a form of self-care.”
Over the next few weeks, we will embark on a journey together, covering everything you need to know. Think of it as the big-sister guide you’ve always wanted.
What’s Inside the Guide?
We’ll be diving deep into six essential topics, each one designed to build on the last, creating a complete picture of menstrual wellness.

This series is for anyone who is ready to stop seeing their period as a problem and start seeing it as a powerful and normal part of life. It’s time to replace silence with conversation and myths with facts.
“Knowledge is the ultimate period hack. The more you know, the more you are in control.”
