Welcome back to Good Mom's Bad Choices. I'm Erica and
I'm Mela, and it's fucking Wednesday, bitch.

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Happy Wednesday, y'all?

Speaker 1 (00:08):
Are we podcasters?

Speaker 3 (00:10):
I don't know.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
I don't think this has been weird. I'm retired, I've
been off season. I feel yeah, it does feel a
little Hello, well to check out?

Speaker 1 (00:19):
This is this thing on?

Speaker 4 (00:20):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (00:21):
Hi?

Speaker 2 (00:21):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I'm good? How are you good?

Speaker 2 (00:23):
That's going on.

Speaker 1 (00:26):
While I'm sitting on a yellow.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Couch that you are so as am I? Your nails
look good? Oh?

Speaker 1 (00:36):
Thank you? I said that they're my CARDI be nails.
So I don't know how to feel about that.

Speaker 2 (00:41):
Because you got this coffin.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
I changed the shape of my nails. This is very
a big deal, guys, I don't know. I mean, this
is a big deal for nail people. You change the
shape of your nails, it's a big deal. So I've
been an almond girl since. I don't know. They're really
two thousands. I think really two thousands. I'm not that old,
but the medium two thousands.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
I've been on the nails like five years, and I
don't think I'm ever going back.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
It's been longer than that.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
I used to wear those, but they don't look at
my nails with the type of fingers I have.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Well, then she said I had Cardi B nails and
then I was like, do these look like press on nails?

Speaker 2 (01:14):
No, you look young?

Speaker 1 (01:16):
I look young. Okay, we'll take it.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
The young girls are Okay.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
What's been going on?

Speaker 2 (01:22):
Sis?

Speaker 1 (01:23):
I miss you? I miss you too. I have been
just chilling, doing a lot of chilling. Okay, chilling, I
like that, and hanging out with Iri, hanging out with
my man. I just did a seven day water fast.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Do you feel like you're duddhists? You feel enlightened?

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I felt like I was gonna pass out multiple times,
that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
That's that's enlightenment.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
But I've learned a lot of good tips that I
can now apply next time because the first time I
did it I like two years ago. Don't you remember? I
did it a while ago and it was a lot easier.
This time was really fucking hard. And I think it's
because I've done a really good job of toxifying my
body over the last seventy eight months.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Do you think so, wouldn't you toxify it?

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Well?

Speaker 1 (02:16):
I don't know if you remember but I was dating
an alcoholic. But that was like a while ago.

Speaker 3 (02:20):
Your body of reset sense.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
No, but I wasn't an alcoholic, but I was trying
to be really healthy to make him try to be healthy,
because I thought if I led by example.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Now I don't know if you remember, I do, actually,
let me check back in my files. I do recall.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
I mean, he wouldn't say he's an alcoholic. Most alcoholics don't.
But it was reflecting on that relationship recently, and like
how I was actually pretty healthy in that relationship because
I was really trying to be my most healthiest self
to lead by example, which I didn't do shit except
I looked really fucking good. And then when we broke up,

(02:57):
I said, fuck all this shit. And then I just said,
fuck everything. I'm not working out, I'm not gonna eat
good anymore. I'm just gonna drink all the time. I'm
gonna smoke lots of blunts all the time, backwards galore.
And then I said I need to go on the
water fast and my body said bitch, fuck you. So
that happened, but I feel better. I do feel a

(03:18):
lot better. I feel like I have I had a reset.
So that was really good. I went on a mushroom
journey at the very end, which was.

Speaker 2 (03:25):
You took all water, then took mushrooms.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
I took all water and then I ate, I had well,
I had I juiced for one day after my waterfast,
and then we had like a meal in the morning,
and then we went on a journey.

Speaker 2 (03:36):
Okay, how was it?

Speaker 1 (03:37):
It was so good.

Speaker 2 (03:39):
They time journey.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
It was like we started five, we ended up like
three in the morning, and it was really good. It
was really important, and I decided that I'd need to
go on deep journeys more often because I've been kind
of avoiding mushrooms a little bit because I'm really sensitive
to them, and I'm not the type of person that

(04:01):
can just like pop a chocolate and just go to
the party, Like I don't enjoy that. That's not like
fun for me because I don't really know what's gonna
come up, and so I've been kind of nervous because
every time I do it, I kind of get anxious
and like dark. So this one was really nice. There
was some darkness at the moments, but overall a lot

(04:23):
of light.

Speaker 2 (04:24):
That's beautiful.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Yeah, it's beautiful. How are you? I'm ok? You like
very tan.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
Yeah, I just got back from Turks and Caicos with
some of our friends and it was great. It was
a long ass distance, but yeah, it's like literally one
of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen ever, like
the most beautiful water I've ever seen. I was like, God, damn,
it was really nice. But I'm afraid that Drake has
told all the people about Turks and Caicos. So it
was what it was a bit.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
When did Drake talk about Turks and Caicos.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Apparently in mind of his song. Apparently he talks about
all the time, because let me tell you, they're there.
Who's bag the ghetto people, the young people. I was like,
how can you afford to be here? It's too expensive?
Go home? What was this ghetto party? I guess he
wrapped about it too. The whole time we're talking about
Drake asking everybody on Turks and Kikos who won Kendrick

(05:17):
or Drake and they're like, this is Drake's territory. Were
like no, And then they finally paid Kendrick and we
all went nuts. But we went to some like uh
in the middle of the ocean boat party called Noah's
Ark and when I say, I got there, and I said,
I'm too old.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
Really, I was like the boat that went out into
the ocean.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
You take warter taxis to this big ass boat.

Speaker 1 (05:40):
Okay, but yeah, it was giving like Vegas or what.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
It was giving like spring break. And I literally saw
Nigga get in the ocean with socks and Jordan's not.

Speaker 1 (05:52):
Jordan's shut up. Why would he have his Jordans and chains?
He was going to suck them his shoes up for
what he.

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Did, he walked straight in like he didn't even hesitate
into the ocean. No, I just think you.

Speaker 1 (06:02):
Know he was on Molly for sure. Witch.

Speaker 2 (06:05):
It was interesting. Did you say something what I'm gonna say,
excuse me saying what.

Speaker 1 (06:09):
Are you doing? I would have said something.

Speaker 2 (06:13):
But it was great, but a great time. I want
to go back. It'd be nice to take the kids.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
I went. I went with Iri when she was like three,
and my family.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
Okay, but I was it was beautiful.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
It was so beautiful. I was bored as hell though,
because I didn't know, because I don't think Drake had
rapped about it yet.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
Baby, Well Drake has wrapped about it, and there's about
five clubs and some restaurants. We went to a restaurant.
He's like, yeah, Drake, we've talked.

Speaker 3 (06:34):
We literally asked everyone about Drake.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
They like, he got the mahi mahy like, we'll take
that shut out.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
It was great.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
It was a really good time.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Oh my god, well it looked good. It looked fine.
I'm glad you guys had a good time. I was jealous.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
Yeah, it was great, no complaints. I've been chilling. I'm
happy to be home and chilling. My birthday is coming
up in a few weeks.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
Oh my god, it is holy shit.

Speaker 4 (06:58):
I forgot.

Speaker 1 (06:59):
Oh I did. Are you scared a little bit? Why?

Speaker 2 (07:02):
Thirty six is like I'm already thirty six.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Look at me. I look great.

Speaker 2 (07:06):
I know you look great, but it's just like something
between thirty five and thirty six.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
Anyway, we have special guests today. We're here shooting and shit,
you know, because we haven't talked to each other a
long time. I know, it's crazy. It's like, I guess
I realized how much of our friendship we get to
talk right here, and if we don't do this, like
what the where are you at? Bitch? We have very
special guests today. I'm very excited to have new friends
come and to join us in the I want to

(07:37):
call this something but the girl, okay, the girl, you know,
we didn't like that. Remember what do we call it?
I don't know which is dead. It's going to really
pump the people up. Today. We have Anna and Alex
with us.

Speaker 4 (07:52):
Hi of the.

Speaker 2 (07:54):
Period agenda, the agenda peiod, the agenda period.

Speaker 4 (07:58):
I like that.

Speaker 2 (07:58):
We need we needed to periand period agenda period. How
are you guys doing good?

Speaker 1 (08:04):
We're so bumps, We're just so high.

Speaker 4 (08:06):
It feels like we're in the womb.

Speaker 1 (08:07):
We're looking forward.

Speaker 2 (08:08):
Yes, oh it's not the room, it's the woom.

Speaker 4 (08:14):
Okay, it feels very womb like and it's very I
guess it does.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
There's no fucking when all the windows are coming like
warm for by.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Yeah, things are growing.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Well, welcome to the womb ladies. Thank you, thank you
forgetting that new word.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
So tell us a little bit about the agenda period
and how you guys started the agenda period.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
Well, Alex, you go, you started it.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
It was so random. It was never my intention to
be a period preneur. And that's what I call us,
like all the period preneurs. But I started a health
coaching company in twenty eighteen, and when I was tracking
my sales, I found that I had higher sales during ovulation.
It's actually made more money depending on when I was
having my sales calls. So I was in a meditation
and this idea was like big magic or the universe

(09:00):
or whatever came into my head and I thought it
was to go buy a planner. So I wanted to
like have a physical planner so I could like time
block with the phases of my cycle. And I could
not find it anywhere on the internet. Like I got
out of my meditation, went straight to Google, and I
was like period planner for your business. Nothing. So I
was like, this idea is too fucking weird. No one
wants to buy this. Otherwise someone had made it already.

(09:24):
And then finally in twenty nineteen, I was like, you
know what, I'll just like give it a shot. I'll
launch this thing. See what happens. We had one hundred
women set it up for the beta test, so I
was like, Okay, maybe people actually do want this, and
we made it. We went through a crowdfunding campaign, We
did all of this great work to make this really
beautiful planner and I was so proud of her.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
She was gorgeous.

Speaker 5 (09:42):
And then I was like, this is so cute. When
are you making an app? I was like, what about
me tells you I'm to make an app? Like, I
have a business degree and I am a health coach.
I will never make an app. But when enough people
tell you something, you either like take it or you
know you miss your shot. So we pivoted into tech
and then Anna joined us last year and she is
just like the most amazing, Like things have grown so

(10:04):
much faster once you're working with the right people. So
the juice has been turned on since Anna joined the team.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
Yeah, it's amazing. That's amazing. And he has been on
the internet.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
Right, yeah, on the Instagram friends.

Speaker 2 (10:15):
We were yes.

Speaker 4 (10:16):
She was like, hey, you've got this really cool sticker thing.

Speaker 5 (10:19):
We're here to tell them all about that.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
Yeah, it's so cool. So my husband would have conversations
with me the week before my period and I'm like,
I can't I can't have this discussion with you right now.
I'm lutial. He's like, I don't know what that means.
You say this every month. I was like, well, do
you want me to put like a sticker on the
mirror and he was like, yes please, and so I
was like, oh, canva. And so I made a cute

(10:42):
little sticker we bride else on. They're super cute and
you can move the arrow around to say what phase
you are in your cycle, and under each segment it's
like you need rest and grace and extra meat time,
you need warm, comfy things. And so I made the sticker.
I sent it to like fifty women to just play
with it and tell me what they thought, and it

(11:02):
has changed our communication. He like gets me. He came
to tell me some really cool thing that he came
up with and I was like, oh yeah, and he
was like, you didn't think that was good. I was like, yeah,
it was nice. And he goes in the bathroom and
he moves my arrow. He's like, you're in your that's
why you responded that way. And so it's like he
gets me and I don't have to explain it. And
so I was talking about that on Instagram and she

(11:24):
was like, Hey, this is this really cool thing. Let's
get some virtual coffee.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
So this was before you guys had actually linkedput yes,
you were already kind.

Speaker 4 (11:33):
I was doing my period thing. She was doing her
and I was like, you know, I called all the
aunties and mom like this white girl. She's like, she
wants to meet with me over coffee. Like they're like,
she's trying to steal your stuff. Don't say nothing, dude,
don't talk to her about anything.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
I was like, okay, I have no ideas.

Speaker 4 (11:49):
Yes, And so I happened to call him. I'm kind
of sussing her out and she's kind of sussing me
out too, and we just kind of fed into each
other and she's like, let's just meet every week, and
so we just met for virtual coffee once a week,
and after that month was up, we both realized that
in our work that we do with our clients, everyone

(12:10):
kept saying I wish I would have known this in school,
Like why didn't they teach us this in school? And
I said, we have to make a course or a curriculum,
and she was like can. I was like, yeah, I
was a high school teacher and administrator for sixteen years.
I can write some curriculum. So we just kind of
locked in and wrote Body Literacy Curriculum for elementary, middle

(12:31):
and high school levels.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
So not sex said, not anything like that, it's like,
this is what's happening in your body, and we made
it so that boys and girls can both be in
the room at the same time and it's engaging. It's
not like the weird old white couple behind a white
sheet saying, you know, yes, this is your uterus, here's
your Philippian tubes, go back to class. Like we wanted

(12:53):
something more robust and engaging than that, so we teamed up.

Speaker 1 (12:57):
To do that.

Speaker 4 (12:57):
And it's been about a year.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
I think it's so important. I was a friend of
ours wrote this book it's called The Girl's Guide to Puberty,
and I posted it and it's been really helpful for me.
But then I had so many people reach out to
me like where what about a boat? What about boys?
I have a boy? Mom like what do I do?
And I was like, oh, girl, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
That's the crazy thing. I'm sitting here thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (13:20):
It's like we're literally not told like about the phases
of a period and how it affects us. It's literally
until this last year that it starts to dawn on
me and to really pay attention that, Like, sometimes I
feel super creative and super energized, and sometimes I'm like,
I'm the laziest bitch on earth because I'm tired. And
it's just like something you're not even in you know,
like just in the in the knowing of what your

(13:40):
body is doing and when you're doing it. Let them know,
Let alone your partner, you know what I mean? Because
I don't know what the fuck is going on because
I have I can't tell you, but like how it
really like it feels. It feels like you're crazy a
little bit, Like your hormones can really fuck you up
if you're not in flow with them and understanding.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
And it's like, how can we tell our kids if
we don't even know?

Speaker 1 (13:59):
I literally just I just learned what the luteal phase was.
I think, like this year, congratulations. I'd never even heard
of that term before. And I'm thirty six years old,
and that's crazy that I don't even know the phases
of my own body. Can you actually tell our audience
what are the phases? Because I'm pretty sure like ninety
percent of people that are listening don't know.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Yeah, they're feeling the changes, but they don't know that
they have names, and they don't know that they're supposed
to be feeling this way, So, yeah, you have the
guilt and you just beat yourself up.

Speaker 5 (14:27):
I was actually wondering if you knew what phase you
were on in your waterfast, because it may be harder
depending on where you are.

Speaker 1 (14:32):
I was bleeding, yep, I started my first But then
I listened to my partner and he's like, I did
research and they said that you should that doing a
waterfast on like the second day of your period is
actually like a really good time for that. So I
was like, whoa. I was like, well, I've.

Speaker 5 (14:48):
Already been detoxified, so may have just like brought up.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Extra Yeah, those first two days were fucking hard.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Yeah, what did you do?

Speaker 1 (14:59):
I mean, thank god? It was like we started on Thursday.
So then we spent the whole weekend together and I
needed him there, like I really needed like support, and
he just like massaged me a lot and we just
laid but my head my headache. But I was detoxing too,
like I could tell like I was having like withdrawals
from coffee. And actually yesterday I'm like a big coffee person,

(15:23):
Like I love coffee. I can have coffee at like
midnight and go to sleep like it's not a big deal.
But last night I went and picked up an espresso
and I haven't had coffee at all, and I was like,
let me just let me just get back in. I
took a tiny sip and immediately my head started hurting
and I was like, oh shit. And then on my mind,
I was like should I just push through?

Speaker 2 (15:43):
Because I was.

Speaker 4 (15:46):
Like should I?

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Because I'm a coffee bitch, Like I'm like, am I
really about to put this down and not drink it?
And then god, then I spilt it and I was like, oh,
I spilled the whole thing all over my daughter. And
I was like, all right, well Ben, yeah, yeah, but
I guess I was, yeah, I was, yeah.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
I We love the framework from we heard it first
from Red School, but lots of people have talked about
this with the four phases, Like I think this is
a really easy way for people to come to it.
So the menstrual phase is like your inner winter time,
so it's a great time for hibernation, thinking about like
warming foods. It's like a great framework to kind of
understand what you want to be doing during those phases.
And we talk about it as like the planning phase,

(16:26):
so like sit down and vision because women are super
powerful on their periods, Like the portal between life and
death is open, and it's just like this time for
women to tap into all of their magic. The follicular
phase is there is our inner springtime, So this is
when we have the energy that comes up.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
It's really great after you bleed.

Speaker 5 (16:42):
Yep, so like your period starts, that's day one of
a new cycle, and then you count days all the
way till day one of your next bleed. The follicular
phase is like your springtime. So this is a good
time to start getting shit done, going out, networking, meeting people,
podcasting that.

Speaker 1 (16:56):
It's kind of like when I feel energized after the storm.

Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah emerged there.

Speaker 1 (17:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (17:04):
Ovulation is like the hot mom time, like our.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
Favorite fucking yes.

Speaker 4 (17:11):
Life camera.

Speaker 1 (17:13):
That's you make bad choices. That's the bad choices face.

Speaker 4 (17:17):
I just say that.

Speaker 5 (17:18):
Really, I'm like, you are most likely to like make
horrible sexual choices when you can.

Speaker 1 (17:26):
And then you're like, exactly why did you do that?

Speaker 4 (17:30):
But yeah, had I known that when I was in
middle school that no, he's not fine. You just populated.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
You're given like three days like keep it moving, okay,
So okay, follicular, what's.

Speaker 5 (17:45):
Follicular population and then us like your inner autumn time.
So this is like the analyze and organized and it's
really kind.

Speaker 4 (17:53):
Of two weeks.

Speaker 5 (17:53):
So the first week we call our CEO week, like
we have no talent for bullshit that we and then
the second week is when we get more sensitive and
maybe cry.

Speaker 1 (18:01):
Where am I I need to know?

Speaker 2 (18:02):
Wait?

Speaker 3 (18:03):
So there's four phases.

Speaker 4 (18:04):
There's four phases, and that ludial phase. You may feel
like you're like rage cleaning and everything is just heightened. No,
it's your body nesting. It's like you're either going to
have a period and need to lay down or you're
gonna have a baby and need to lay down like that.
Nesting phases the same. Okay, you got it, it's time
to rap shit it.

Speaker 1 (18:19):
My period starts in ten days. So where am I?
You're l oh, okay, bitch. I just cleaned my whole
house and it was easy, right hand curtains. I threw
away a bunch of shit that's been said there forever.
I've been waiting for someone else to do it, and
I just said, fuck you, I'm about to do it myself.

Speaker 4 (18:35):
You're ludo.

Speaker 1 (18:35):
And I did it, and I was really happy and.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
It's magical and it lets you know that there literally
is a time and place for everything, because like when
my pantry is raggedy, I'm like, I'll be ludial in
like twelve days and it'll be fun and life giving
and it'll be super easy to do when you tap
into your energy.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
Is there like a certain way you should be eating
during these phases as well?

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Yes, definitely, definitely, because I always.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Think of, like, yeah, the cravings that people have on
their periods and stuff.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
But you said like grounding foods too, like when you
want to feel like cozy and like.

Speaker 4 (19:06):
Warming and grounding in your minstrel face, and lots of
iron rich things like Broccolian beets are really good, and
you think of the color of the.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
This is when I should everyone, if you're watching this
on YouTube, I've brought top of my own men It's
my own menstrual blood. Guys, look at all this blood
that I've saved.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Wow, that's a good little.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Spicy it's a little ginger in there. Would you like
to taste my blood?

Speaker 4 (19:38):
It's good to have ginger in with the blood of
Erica and not the bit of Jesus.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
It's very spicy. Might have overdid it with the ginger.
I meant to put more apple. But by the way,
it's not it's not blood, it's beats. Guys. Relax. People
are thinking, think we're worshiping the double over here anyway.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
And now we're gonna we're gonna put a discount on
the retreat spots because it's some people dropped out.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
She said, let's give six six six off. I said, bitch,
I already know that. I think we're witches. I said,
we gotta go with seven seven.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
I don't even think about it.

Speaker 2 (20:14):
I was like, no, like, no one's gonna even jump
at this, the opportunity to know, Oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (20:21):
Yeah, but beats are perfect for your minstrel phase. Red things,
red meat, like fatty fish, things like that. Your fillicular phase.
Just think of spring things like leaky fish salads and
things like that. Yeah, and you definitely love leaner things
when you're follicular and when you're ovulating, but you maybe.

Speaker 5 (20:41):
Feel like you don't want to eat as much. Yeah,
that's normal. And like, this is the problem. My diet
culture focks us all up because it's like, do the
same thing all of the time. But that works really
well for men, and it works terribly for us. So
we need less calories during that that building time, and
then we need more calories than the luteal phase, which
is when we typically have cravings if we're not eating enough.
But women just like, what's wrong with me? I'm feeling

(21:01):
at everything, like no, just eat, eat more food. Your
body needs like three hundred more calories during that phace.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Like right now you should be doing.

Speaker 1 (21:11):
Loading.

Speaker 4 (21:12):
When you're feeling that, add like two extra snacks or
a whole extra meal in your day.

Speaker 2 (21:16):
This conversation is blowing my mind because literally, i feel
like we're on this couch sometimes and I'm like, I
hate food. Fuck food. I'm never why do we need
to eat? And then some days I'm like, I'm so hungry,
i want every food. Literally, I'm still done eating. I'm
done eating for life. I'm like, I'm just gonna drink
water because I'm sick of.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
Thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (21:30):
And then the other days I'm like, let's go eat again.

Speaker 4 (21:33):
And there are reasons your body needs needs you, And
it's like shouting at us all of these things, and
we are trying to fit ourselves into twenty four hour
day cycle. That is very masculine dominated, and we feel
like we fail. Like I said that diet worked, that
workout worked last week, but this week I can't even
get up. I don't even want to go work out,
and then you just beat yourself up.

Speaker 5 (21:54):
And that's what we hear from the loop are people
all the time They're like, yeah, I'm miserable, or like
why can't I get it right? What's wrong with me?
Like nothing, You're just not You're not a man, like
your body is different.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Well, I think as women, like, we we've been so
shamed around our periods. It's always been this like hidden
thing like clean it up, like don't don't talk about it.
We don't want to see it. Oh my god, you bled.
That's disgusting, that's nasty. And and so there's this detachment
we have from from from from the blood and our bodies,
and so when we kind of disassociate during that time,

(22:29):
so we don't even like acknowledge the things that are happening.
And I was actually looking on your page and I
saw that recently there was like a science backed study
that said that our brains.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
Like four different people.

Speaker 1 (22:42):
Yeah, yeah, during these different phases. And I think like,
as women, like when we think about this, because like
talk about your period, there's probably people listening right now
that feel really uncomfortable. Maybe they've already turned it off
because they're like, I don't want to hear this. I
don't want to talk about this, and and and you
have to ask yourself why, like why is it so
uncomfortable for me to hear women talk about their period?

(23:05):
And like, why is it that I have like disassociated
so much from this this thing that happens every single
month no matter what, like it's going to happen, and
not ever really deep diving into how it truly affects
our bodies. I mean, we'll deep dive into pregnancy and
all the different phases of pregnancy and the raspberry and

(23:27):
the blueberry bottom alt, and but when it comes to
our period, we're just like, oh, they always won't talk
about that. But I think about my, you know, entry
into having my period. I was eleven, or my eleventh birthday,
and my mom had never really talked to me about
period at all. I think I kind of maybe knew
what it was, but I just remember, like I was

(23:48):
at my birthday party. We were all in the pool,
and then I went to the bathroom, and then I
went in whites and I was like, what the fuck
is that? And then I went and told my mom, like, Mom,
I'm something's wrong, and she was like, oh, you started
your period. Oh my god, honey. It's okay now, but
you do have to be careful because now you can
have babies. And I was like, what the fuck. No,
I'm I'm gonna have like like so and so. I

(24:14):
you know, now that I have my own daughter who's nine,
and she's, you know, entering into puberty now. And thankfully
I have this platform and I can speak to women
like you and other ladies that are way more well
versed in this space than me. And honestly, I felt
like I was going to be more prepared for puberty
just because I'm so open and I'm just I'm just
really comfortable with my body. But as my daughter has

(24:36):
been approaching into puberty, I've realized how uncomfortable I've been
and how awkward I've been, and how I've been avoiding
it literally, and I'm like, how the fuck am I
going to be Erica from goodmom's bad choices and avoiding
fucking puberty? Conversation like this is stupid it's terrifying, right, Yeah,
but I'm I'm seeing my own like triggers and my
own like I guess traumas come up from my past

(24:58):
and the lack of the avoidance of it because I
was we were never really discussed and so I don't
really always have the language. And I feel like a
lot of parents feel the same way. It's like the
language and not wanting to scare your kids or thinking
that you're going to scare them when really you're not.
And so I guess I'm my question is for you
because I know you both have daughters, right, and they're

(25:20):
they're not They're not anywhere near this.

Speaker 4 (25:22):
Well, everything my daughter does, I'm like, is this precosha puberty?
Is she going? Is? She's seven and a half and
so anytime she has an emotional and I am in
this space all the time, and it's still terrifying to me.
So yeah, I just feel like.

Speaker 1 (25:36):
Yeah, and I guess, like how what is what is
the like? What are like three easy ways to discuss
talking about or beginning the conversation around periods with your kids.
And I also think boys need to know this as well.

Speaker 2 (25:51):
Yeah, because to marry women and date women, this is
you need to begin the.

Speaker 4 (25:54):
Know of like and it's a cheat code for them too.
They know how to interact with us once they know
what's going on.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
Well, because a lot of the shame too is from
them as well, because I've literally had men shame me
for my period or like Okay, well i'll hit you
later girl I'm morning, Like well that's your time, yes,
And I'm like, what the fuck are you gonna tell
me what I need to do with my body on
my time?

Speaker 2 (26:13):
Like yeah, so you're disposable during that period? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (26:16):
Way? Yeah, So I mean what would you say like
a few different like maybe a few tips for moms
that are entering into that phase with their kids.

Speaker 4 (26:27):
I think our first step, what we like to talk
to people about is normalizing and calling things what they are,
Like that's your volva, it's not your vagina. If you
say something's wrong with your vagina, that's a completely different
thing that if something's wrong with your volva. And calling
things exactly what they are and normalizing that like saying
I'm on my period. That means this, this, and this.

(26:47):
But that calls for number two. You educating yourself first,
and once you know, then you'll have the language because
you'll know whatever development developmental stage your child is in
kind of how to talk to them about it as possible.

Speaker 5 (27:00):
So like I'm in the toddler stage where I cannot
go to the bathroom by myself.

Speaker 1 (27:04):
It doesn't never end.

Speaker 4 (27:05):
Girls, Oh god, I was hoping we grow out of I.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Was taking a shit the other day and my daughter
refused to leave. I was like, you're like, man, I'm going,
why do you want to be in here?

Speaker 4 (27:15):
Like body boundaries?

Speaker 5 (27:17):
Yeah, so I'll tell them when I'm on my period.
And then the other day my three and a half
year olds were like, I'm on my period now, and
I'm like, man, no, you're not.

Speaker 2 (27:24):
You don't go to them, you're not.

Speaker 5 (27:26):
You are not on your period. And she's like, well,
then I'm on my pretend period. So we're all because
he use a lot of pretend language, so she's like,
I'm on my pretend period right now. But they know
what it is, they know what pads are. They can
identify them as three year olds because I just tell them.
So the earlier you can tell your kids, they get
shame later, I think kind of after it's almost like
very late. Yeah, So the earlier you tell them, the

(27:46):
more they're just like, oh, that's just like the thing
that it is. So whatever age your kid is, just
answer their questions as early as possible, and I think
it just helps normalize the whole conversation.

Speaker 4 (27:56):
Before they're embarrassed about body talk, like when they're too
in front of you and are not embarrassed by like
that age, just start normalizing what's going on, because if
it was the hiccups or something else that was benign,
it would be it wouldn't be this big of an issue.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
I know. I remember I always tell the story because
it's so fucking strange. I remember like Maybee like seven,
and my mom was in the bathroom and I was like,
you have a string, and she's like get out. And
I was like, but mom, you have a string. Get
out And I was like.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
You have a string, and she was just like pushing
at the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (28:24):
I just could not fucking understand why she wouldn't just
let me get the string. Oh, it was a jampot,
but she just wouldn't address it. Like I don't remember
ever like witnessing other than that moment, And later it
dawned on me, let's fucking string. I just thought she
was strange, but even recently Luna was just like, is
it someone said, you go through puberty at nine? I said,

(28:44):
some people do go through puberty earlier. And she was like,
I don't want to use that thing that you use.
I want to use like the other thing. I was like,
you could use that. Does it concern yours? Make you scared?
And she said no, because if you can do it,
I can do it. But it's just like that, It's
that simple of a conversation. Is like not hiding it,
not putting it away and not acting like it's this

(29:05):
shameful secret thing. It's like, this is what we go through.
This is what happens. And like even now as our
daughters are nine, like the attitudes and shit, I'm like
acknowledging the hormones shift that are happening internally, and even
me like at thirty five, as I'm going to you know,
very close to thirty six, I'm like, I'm my fucking
hormones are shifting, and like how scary that is for

(29:27):
me too, like thinking about having another baby, and just
like how this in our lifetimes we actually go through
all these cycles that were so deeply affected by but
without the knowledge of knowing how it's connected to our
daily interactions. And it's like, this could be a game
changer if we can get the information and then transfer
it to our kids, you know, and then they're you know,
they could educate the boys. And it's just like an

(29:49):
ongoing like it just it changes the game it does.

Speaker 4 (29:53):
It's a safety issue. It's like life or death. Like
if you don't know what's happening with your body, there's
a whole lot of other things that you're not going
to be prepared to interact with in the world.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
And then people are going to tell you about it.
You're going to go to act exactly.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
He's going to tell you something, You're going to just
believe it because you're so disconnected from your intuition and
so disconnected from your body.

Speaker 5 (30:13):
I think it's like it's a feature, not a bug,
that we are so disconnected from our bodies. We spend
eight to ten years of our life bleeding, and the
fact that we are shamed for that, Like there's this
huge mind body connection we talk a lot about as
health coaches, Like people want women to be shame and
disconnected from their bodies because if that happens to you,
twelve times a year. How long does it take us
to rebound from those shame spirals like women not doing

(30:34):
their best work in the world because they are so
disconnected from themselves. Like it's on purpose, right, So this
is really the time. Like we see what's happening politically,
we see what's going on globally, we see what's happening geopolitically.
These things are intentional, even if they were subconscious, you know,
like the people have a vested interest from us being
disconnected from ourselves.

Speaker 2 (30:54):
Absolutely, shit is a poison, Yes.

Speaker 5 (30:56):
So it's time for us to like really reclaim our cycles,
Like it just is the blueprint for how women can
live their best lives. And that's why we think every
woman on the planet deserves to have this as their birthright,
Like just this understanding this empowerment, like knowing how to
work with this, because everything changes in your life once
you understand how to work with your sickleical self.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
Well literally like moon phases.

Speaker 4 (31:16):
We're magical, yeah, logical. What else is twenty eight days
besides our periods? It's the h And so we talk
to women also who aren't bleeding anymore or for whatever reason,
and we tell them to sink their cycle with the moon.
And so if you aren't getting a period for whatever reason,
you can tap into the energy cycles of the moon
and live as if and your body will respond. So

(31:39):
the new moon would be your minstrel phase and the
full moon would be your ovulation phase. And that's why
they think everyone goes crazy during the full moon. Everyone's
horny and they're ovulating. So start tapping in and sinking
your life to the moon cycles and you'll start seeing
your body love you a little bit more.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
That's so interesting. Yeah, I never thought that's such a
great tip for women who are maybe struggling with their
periods and sinking them. Do you what about PMS? Because
I think also that's also been like the big word
of shame for women that have been that's always thrown
at us, specifically by men. Yeah, like, oh you're PMSA

(32:17):
you must be PMS.

Speaker 4 (32:18):
Learn. Yeah, they don't even know what they don't even
know what they learn the letters.

Speaker 1 (32:26):
But like, what what do you what is I guess
the is there science? I'm sure there's science behind PMS?
Or like when it usually actually occurs? Does it occur
on your period or is it for your period after
your period.

Speaker 5 (32:40):
Right around yeah, like right around day twenty four, your
body realizes that you're not pregnant. So estrogen and progesterone
drop on the same day, which like progesterone helps us
feel calm and estrogen helps us feel happy, and so
like the assholes out of all your good, feel good
hormones on the same day. And that typically when people
feel that, like really like that sensitivity come up and
what we like to talk about it as like we

(33:02):
take it really seriously but not personally, and it'll show
you where you lack boundaries the rest of your cycle.
It'll show you who are you wetting in your life,
treat you a certain way. And so that's how we've
kind of reclaimed PMS as this information gathering tool to
show you, like where you're not taking good care of yourself.

Speaker 1 (33:18):
So between days twenty four and twenty eight, Yeah, that's
when you really needed Yes, yes, check these gentle checks
people check.

Speaker 4 (33:25):
Yeahs face Yeah, the second part of the second face,
the second part of the list when.

Speaker 2 (33:31):
Yeah is when the ash floor drops out?

Speaker 1 (33:33):
And is that what you're is that what you're most psychic?

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Well, I mean, looky, if you're sensitive, Yeah, you're sensitive.

Speaker 1 (33:40):
Energy around.

Speaker 4 (33:40):
Now all your period you tolerated when you were happy
and ovulating and want to it's not there. So it's
not there. Like I asked, hey, do take out the
trash and trash Ludia faces like damn, I mean you
don't see it sitting there and.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
You take it curst the fuck out.

Speaker 4 (33:54):
Yeah, but it shows kind of the areas that you
probably need to work on and build boundaries around.

Speaker 5 (34:02):
Just had loose, loose, Loose Warrior. She was on I
heard on her podcast years ago. She's like bleed on it.
So that's what she talks about on your period is
like giving this time for intuition and just like bringing
all your big decisions to your Yeah, because you're super
intuitively very psychic during that during that face Warrior, I
love her, yea her podcast to the Dallas.

Speaker 2 (34:22):
Right, Yeah, what would you say?

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Are some myths about periods that are like I guess,
myths or misconceptions that maybe women have fallen trapped to.
One we hate the most is that like that blood
is dirty blood. Like she posted something about being in
a new bathroom and making sure that she had a
sink to.

Speaker 4 (34:43):
Dump her cup out. And this man, this troll took
to I mean and said the most vile things. I
will rip out your throat and pede and it was horrible.

Speaker 5 (34:53):
If you ever get if you bathroom, I would pissed
down your throat.

Speaker 4 (34:59):
I was like, oh that is that's unlike so if
I cut my finger and washed it out in your sink,
that'd be okay. And so I think a lot of
us do because it smells different differently, and so we
think that it's dirty. And we were taught that that
blood is dirty and you should be away from other people.
And our ancestors had women. They weren't allowed to go

(35:20):
into the kitchen or they went into a red tint
because they were supposed to be resting and honoring this
inner winter, not because they were dirty and filthy and
didn't belong. Oh, that was that was white supreme that
that was the white supremacy. That was when the colonized
and stript even that magic away from the yes, And
that's that's one of the biggest ones, is that that

(35:42):
blood is dirty. When there's like how many brand new
proteins were found that only belong in stems.

Speaker 5 (35:47):
There's stem cells ins and they're finding like cure.

Speaker 2 (35:50):
Shit, is that is that the walls that's also coming off, Yeah,
all of it.

Speaker 5 (35:54):
Yeah, like just like the mix there. Yeah, they found
like forty proteins in mental blood that they haven't found anywhere.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
Else on the plant, those stem cells and.

Speaker 5 (36:02):
Stem cells proteins, like a whole bunch of Yeah, super
cool stuff.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
In there, Magical things that only occur there, and there's
nothing to hrty about that. It's only magic.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
I think.

Speaker 5 (36:11):
Another myth is that it actually I don't think it
smells as bad as we think it smells. But when
we're using bad period products, so products that are filled
with chemicals or toxins, when the blood mixes with those
chemicals that you shouldn't be putting on your vulva anyway
or in your vagina, then it can smell bad. But
it's actually not the blood. Because I remember the first
time I used a cup, I took it out and
I was like, oh, I can't even it doesn't smell

(36:33):
like it magical.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
It was like, whoa will you guys use?

Speaker 1 (36:36):
Are you cup users? Yes?

Speaker 4 (36:37):
I just became a disc user and I will not
go back to anything. It's the most amazing thing.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
Yeah, I think I died a course.

Speaker 1 (36:45):
I'll tried. I've tried multiple times, and I was just
a disc, isn't Is it just the same shit as
a cup?

Speaker 4 (36:51):
No, that cup like you'll get carpal tunnel syndrome. You
will have to get somebody to come fish that thing.

Speaker 1 (36:57):
The problem with me, I was like, this is a
lot of work.

Speaker 4 (36:59):
It takes a lot, there's a learning curve, but once
you get it, it's magical. But then I just tried
the flex disc and.

Speaker 3 (37:06):
Why do you have sex on it?

Speaker 2 (37:07):
Right? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (37:08):
And you can empty it out just by kind of
bearing down and then going on to wait.

Speaker 3 (37:13):
How does it not like what does the desk?

Speaker 1 (37:15):
What does it look like?

Speaker 4 (37:16):
So it looks like I guess back in the day
they had a diaphragm. Yeah, okay, So it's kind of
like a little shallow little and you just pinch it
so it's shaped like that and you insert it just
like a tampon. It's not a cup, no, cause it's
like a couple like a shot A cup is up
like a shot glass. This is more like it just
kind of.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
I feel like someone sent us this once. It didn't
take out for us. They did. It was early in
the early day.

Speaker 2 (37:40):
They sent us a cup in that and I don't
know if we got that far. You know, I'm just
even talking about this right now, Like what do you use?

Speaker 1 (37:46):
What do you use?

Speaker 2 (37:47):
Like the evolution in the last fucking fifteen twenty years,
because used to be like that pack, that stupid ass
pad and that fucking that one play text, fucking Tampa,
the cardboard answer ouch. Oh my god, that was it.

Speaker 1 (37:59):
Bleach.

Speaker 3 (38:00):
I was like, I could never.

Speaker 1 (38:01):
People either putting bleach in our pussies. I can't.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
I can't believe.

Speaker 1 (38:06):
I can't believe we said, okay, we.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
Just ask any questions because there was all that there
was and there was not enough education to even feel
like unashamed enough to ask about it.

Speaker 3 (38:14):
I was just like, this is what we got.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
I remember one time Luna was a baby and she
was like, I want to go to walk and I
was like, we're not going on a walk. Like she
went in the bathroom and got the box and play
text as the bitch was like running on it. Oh,
and she was like, yes, you can use this, this
makes sense. Why is the bitch running on it? But
now I'm just like, you know, even have the conversation

(38:36):
about like you know, Orlando and her make fun of
my period panties because I have like some old school ones.

Speaker 1 (38:41):
I love that that's what I use.

Speaker 3 (38:44):
Like, I will never like when I have.

Speaker 2 (38:46):
To wear a tampon, Like if I'm going swimming or something,
I'm like, it is very it's dire.

Speaker 1 (38:51):
If I have to, I.

Speaker 2 (38:51):
Gotta give a swim suit like a black bottom, because
I'm like, it literally stresses me out. I'm like, I've
come too far for this.

Speaker 1 (38:56):
Well, the only time I'll put I only put like
a honeypot tamp on. It organic. I can't.

Speaker 2 (39:02):
I'm definitely not going with the playtext fucking no.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
But if you're still using playtext bleached tampons in twenty
twenty four, ian.

Speaker 5 (39:09):
DMR for a recommendation, and we'll find some better Tampa.

Speaker 1 (39:12):
If you are listening right now. I'm not trying to
shame you, girl, but it's time.

Speaker 2 (39:17):
Honey Pot is almost everywhere.

Speaker 1 (39:19):
Get Honeypot is black owned, woman owned, made by a
person with a vagina, not some weird white man in
a tower somewhere.

Speaker 2 (39:27):
I think that's why.

Speaker 5 (39:28):
It's finally changing. There's so many women who are finally
getting access to create in the space and finally are
being heard and we're seeing the innovation just explode and the.

Speaker 4 (39:36):
Products are so great.

Speaker 5 (39:37):
They're amazing even Like one of the reason that I
decided to jump into the app is most of the
period apps were made by men. So like the flow app,
two men made that up.

Speaker 1 (39:45):
Really, That's what I just checked.

Speaker 5 (39:46):
My dues made that up. The Clue app. There was
one woman on that team, Glow Eve by Glow. That's
the guy that made Acuity, like almost all of the
period scheduling app. Yeah, yeah, the founder He's like, I
can make an algorithm for your period. So yeah, like
almost all of the period apps on the market, the
most successful ones are male founded.

Speaker 1 (40:05):
Of course, because male dominate tech as well.

Speaker 2 (40:07):
And then I heard something like I don't know when
the crazy ass Texas overturned way I was talking. They
were talking with the flow app right flow that they
would like, be careful putting your information in that because
it's like they could give it to the government. It's
some real Handmaid's Tales shit going on around here. But
it's wild like this. I think as like, like you said,
this part of us has been ripped intentionally because there

(40:30):
is a link between our periods and our womb and
our intuition and our man our power, and like that
witchiness that everybody is so afraid of the word and
also other shit. It's just like it's your internal like
linking to the moon to God, you know, as portals.
It's like this is how, this is how we communicate
with God. But if you don't have the fucking knowledge,

(40:50):
you won't be able to have the communication and with
your fucking self exactly. And and and even to think
in like where we're at in society right now, that
we're even in a place that they're fucking overturning abortion
in the name of what are the real men? Love baby,
there was something about like they're trying to pass in Texas,
like getting the death penalty or something or aiding in
an abortion, getting.

Speaker 4 (41:11):
An abortion, for getting the abortion.

Speaker 2 (41:13):
So you can't kill but you need to die.

Speaker 4 (41:17):
You need to die because yes, that's why. And that's
the scariest part for me. That's what kind of propelled
me into this space because I've found out I was
having a girl, and I was like, shuit, I've got
three holes I have to protect now and I've got
to figure this out. I'm raising a little black girl
in Texas, like that shit's scary, and she needs to
know about her body. She needs to know how to

(41:41):
get pregnant if she wants to, or prevent pregnancy if
she if she wants to or needs to, because what
we see as just medical attention our states is completely different.

Speaker 2 (41:54):
So as a fucking crime.

Speaker 4 (41:57):
Definitely, And so she needs to know because it is
like a matter.

Speaker 1 (42:01):
Of life and death.

Speaker 2 (42:02):
I mean, we all really need to know, because we
all need to know, like this is some bullshit and
this is crazy, and like really just wake the fuck up.

Speaker 1 (42:10):
Well, I think also because there is an awakening, the
women are waking up, and I feel like there's so
many there's so many little peace, there's so many pieces
and this is a danger one for us of like
how we really can begin to harness our power. And
this is one that I feel like is probably on
the bottom of everyone's list, it's not at the top.
I want you to move that ship up to the top,
pitch okay, because I really think that there's so much

(42:32):
power here that we've been we've we've literally been just
brainwashed from because they know they know that once we're
able to really harness all of our energy and all
of everything that God has given us, including blood and
the release of blood, and I think that is where

(42:52):
we take over the resurrection of.

Speaker 2 (42:55):
That global.

Speaker 1 (42:59):
And then when I say I take over, like I think,
men get so scared. Women talk like this because they
think that it means like some for some that they're
obsoletely that they're obsolete in some way, and that is
just not the case. Like we need you, We do
so for the love of men.

Speaker 5 (43:12):
Please learn our cycles and we will love you so
much more and we have like so much more harmony.
It is like the ultimate life hack if you want
to be in a relationship.

Speaker 4 (43:19):
I'll hear him on the phone with his friend like
I think she's lutiales yes, And there's there's nothing that
shows that you love me more by than understanding me
and meeting a need without me having asked.

Speaker 1 (43:40):
That's sexy as him my man asked me recently, He's like,
so what do you How can I support you when
you're bleeding? Like what is it that you like to do?

Speaker 5 (43:47):
And say that's the questions that I was like, good child, because.

Speaker 2 (43:52):
I'm bleeding for seven days and I'm not dying, but
I'm still here.

Speaker 4 (43:55):
But I need you and I know your mama was
really strong and she never complained. But I I love
your mama. She's tough and strong. But I have a question.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
Do you know why it's called period? The period? Why
is it a period? Who made that?

Speaker 2 (44:08):
Because you get a pause? I don't know, I just
made that.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
I'm just like, what is it? Like, why that? What
does it mean?

Speaker 2 (44:15):
Gosh, that's a good question.

Speaker 1 (44:17):
What is it like the end? Like, what the fuck
does it mean? Google?

Speaker 4 (44:21):
Yeah, it's like the end. We see it at the
beginning of the cycle. But if it's at the end
of something that it's like, hey, you're not having a baby,
so that's the end.

Speaker 1 (44:30):
Of that cycle. Period, you know.

Speaker 2 (44:33):
I'm wondering now, like yeah, because women are only like
really paying attention when you're pregnant, you know, which is
only like what probably a few depending how many times
you do it, a few months out of the year.
But I'm like, I want, like the how the phases are,
how you're affected when you're not bleeding but you're carrying
your child, and like as you age out of like
as you start to do pre menopause and like, you know,

(44:55):
like how your body changes because even for you know,
speaking of you having twins. I just I found out
that Yeah, first of all, over thirty five you're more
likely and as black women, that goes up even more
to have multiples because your eggs are dropping more.

Speaker 3 (45:08):
But like, that's the shit.

Speaker 2 (45:08):
I need to know. The picture is already fertiles, so
I need to like wonder, you.

Speaker 1 (45:12):
Know, I have the information. Okay, live a few different things.
One it's very upsetting, one is not. I'll read both.
The term period comes from the Greek word pery and
hodos period dose, which means around and way slash path.
This eventually became a Latin word periodis, which means recurring cycle.

(45:34):
The English term period to describe menstruation began in the
early eighteen hundreds. However, euphemisms for menstrual cycles have been
used in texts for thousands of years. For example, the
seventy three A d Encyclopedia discusses the supposedly toxic and
corruptive effects of periods without explicitly explicitly referencing menstruation. The
Old Testament of the Christian Bible also refers to the

(45:57):
supposed uncleanliness of a woman during menstruation in regency ara.
In regency era times, courses was a fancier way of
saying menses or period horses.

Speaker 4 (46:10):
She's on her courses.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
You've heard that. Yeah, I never had that on my
courses on Bridgerton or something of courses. You know what
that is? That alone is why you can't always fuck
with the religious text because they'd be on some bullshit.
Because a man wrote, you know, like King whatever his
name is, the third King James.

Speaker 1 (46:34):
You know.

Speaker 5 (46:36):
I just they used to think we would like make
flowers wilt if we would go in the fields.

Speaker 2 (46:40):
But what does that mean? Imagine if you can make
flowers wilt something, if you're in you are in control
of something, in control of nature and control of your environment,
you can essentially alchemize and change something.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
So you know, they're like, move that bitch from that knowledge.

Speaker 1 (46:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, wild Well I feel a lot more empowered.
I feel like I can't wait to go home and
really get into my lutial moment today, right, ask me like, I'm.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
Just litial, So let me tell you.

Speaker 4 (47:17):
Yes, Well, we've brought you guys some of the stickers
and so you'll know and the girls can know too,
because it goes on the mirror. And I just moved
the arrow, and he knows. My daughter knows, and she'll
come in and she'll be like, oh, mommy, you're on
your parients, so you're not working out today, right?

Speaker 2 (47:31):
Be right?

Speaker 4 (47:32):
I need warm things. Don't bring you a salad or smoothie.
I want warm things and so they can communicate love
and I can.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
Do you think you should work out our period?

Speaker 4 (47:42):
No, I don't think.

Speaker 1 (47:43):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (47:44):
I think you should listen to your body. If you
have the energy to work out, then do it. But
listen to your body. And that's the whole thing, the
whole focus of living syclickally, what does your body need?
And some months my body needs for me to sit
my ass down for three days. But this last sight goal,
because it's a domino effect. How you love on yourself
in each phase informs the next phase, and so your

(48:06):
period is like I'm an old high school teacher. Is
your report card and lets you know how you loved
on yourself those three phases before that. And so the
beauty of it is you get a whole nother cycle
next month to tweak it and figure out if you
needed less caffeine in your luteal phase or more more
hydration or lifting heavier in the start of your ludial
phase and moving to pilates at like, yes, your energy

(48:27):
is shifting, so your workouts shit or can shit.

Speaker 2 (48:31):
How does your period let you know if you're doing
the wrong thing at the wrong time.

Speaker 4 (48:34):
Oh it's really.

Speaker 5 (48:35):
Bad or really heavy, body crampy, headaches.

Speaker 2 (48:40):
It's more difficult.

Speaker 5 (48:41):
It's more difficult.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (48:43):
And it's also intersectional because I was just diagnosed with
ADHD last year and so I found like I've recently
gotten into running because it's really good for my brain,
and so it's made my periods better, even though before
I'd been like run on my period? Are you fucking
kidding me? But I ran seven miles on my day
three of this last cycle.

Speaker 1 (49:00):
Seven miles, bitch r Yeah, ADHD is working.

Speaker 4 (49:05):
I found her drug.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (49:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (49:08):
So now like I love running on my period, whereas
like before I would have never done that. But it's
how it supports my brain, which then supports all the other.

Speaker 4 (49:15):
Hormonal like a dominoffic Definitely, So.

Speaker 5 (49:17):
Yeah, definitely do the cycle check in and just see
like what your specific body needs.

Speaker 1 (49:22):
So the app, your app, what exactly are we tracking
on the app? Is it? It's the agenda app. But
is it are we track? Are we tracking like work phases,
food phases? Can you walk us through just what it
actually entails?

Speaker 4 (49:37):
Definitely, you go for Okay, so the app you track
each one of your cycles. We call it your daily
check in. You have on answer a few questions. It
takes like twelve seconds and you are tracking the day,
the phases of your cycle, the days within those phases.
And the beauty of our app, which we absolutely love,
which we don't know why Acuity didn't do it, is
we sink it to your Google calendar, so when your

(49:59):
schedule you can see which phase.

Speaker 1 (50:01):
What the fuck their acuity? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (50:03):
Literally, yeah that's the man.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
They're like man, and so you know, like if you're
planning to be around your mother in law, is probably
not best to do that in the late luteal phase.
Your ovulation phase should be when you're asking for that raise,
or pitching that new idea, or going to that happy
hour or recording all of your content.

Speaker 5 (50:19):
Because you give a little tip on Google's founder. So
even if you're not in the app, you know what
you should be locked into when you're scheduling out your life.

Speaker 4 (50:26):
Definitely in app. Yes, it's for me.

Speaker 2 (50:28):
It's free.

Speaker 1 (50:29):
Our cycles synced up currently.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
I get mine around the ninth and the tenth.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
What about you.

Speaker 2 (50:34):
I think I was on the new moon phase and
you're on the full moon for a minute. Yeah, there's
times that it is. Sometimes there's a.

Speaker 4 (50:40):
Yeah, and you can definitely see that and plan your
life accordingly. And any symptoms that you're tracking in the app,
we have a menstrual marketplace of all female founded brands,
and we'll say, hey, you've been tracking acne and fatigue
for you know, past few cycles. Have you tried it.

Speaker 5 (50:55):
We'll give you recommendations in real time, so like you
track your symptoms and then we recommend and like honeypots
in there. We got a bunch of honeypot stuff in there. Oh,
we got some main health which, yeah, the PMS, just
like all these really cool products, will recommend to actually
get rid of your period problems or any problems that
you're having in any of the phases, because you might
have pain during ovulation, Like I used to have really
bad pain during ovulation, so we'd recommend a pain reduction,

(51:18):
a natural pain reduction.

Speaker 2 (51:19):
I literally feel like I'm cramping as we're having this conversation.

Speaker 1 (51:22):
I was thinking about it.

Speaker 4 (51:24):
We worked something for that too, and periods yeah, and
so you can shop right there in the app. And
so yeah, you're tracking your phases and a lot of
the tracking apps are focused on fertility, and we are
focusing on education and that you're more than just your
ability to create a child.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
And harnessing your power. And yes, so you.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
Can harness your power and just walk in your greatness
and the app helps you do that.

Speaker 1 (51:50):
But does it also help track your yes, because I'm like, yeah,
we need a place.

Speaker 4 (51:58):
Yeah, no, no, no, And we do content.

Speaker 1 (52:00):
We have got a lot of education.

Speaker 5 (52:01):
We talk about food, we talk about working out for
the cycle, we talk about working for the cycle. So
it's really like, how are you being holistically cyclically well
all of the time because your hormones impact every single
area of your life. So it really goes through all
the different topics.

Speaker 3 (52:15):
Wow, that's that's necessary, so helpful.

Speaker 1 (52:18):
Thank you, thank you for what you do. It's so important,
it really really truly is it? What is I tap
that I'm sharing at these shirt? What does t A
P stand for? The period?

Speaker 4 (52:34):
Girl? The TSA guy today was like hands up, feet
on the yellow? What does I tap that?

Speaker 5 (52:47):
We just like give them out, especially to like men,
and it's our best thing ever, just like give It's
like a sticker and they're like, what, just so stressed?

Speaker 4 (52:55):
Yes, every get very stressed out.

Speaker 3 (52:59):
Are you guys at birth control?

Speaker 4 (53:00):
No? No, And I'm not trying to have another baby.

Speaker 5 (53:04):
Okay, I'm not trying to at this point. But yeah,
we you're only fertile for about five to six days.
So once you really understand your cycle, you can avoid pregnancy.

Speaker 2 (53:11):
Do you take your temperature in the morning?

Speaker 4 (53:13):
Nope, I do.

Speaker 5 (53:14):
I'm cervical mucus tracking the Billings method.

Speaker 2 (53:17):
You track your own mucus, yes, because you can because
you're in tune, you know.

Speaker 5 (53:21):
Yeah, so yeah, you're cervical. You're cervical positioning the mucus.
Everything changes throughout the cycle, and so you the cervical
mucus during ovulation looks like raw egg whites because it
like keeps sperm alive.

Speaker 2 (53:35):
It's like that clear.

Speaker 4 (53:41):
The window is open. Sperm can stay alive in that
ship for five days.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
But then when it's like more thick and creamy like
glue that drive around.

Speaker 5 (53:52):
Someone like the slippery the slippery one. Yeah, so yeah,
I track that and then I just like know when
to avoid or use a barrier method.

Speaker 1 (54:00):
What's a very like a condom.

Speaker 2 (54:02):
Or what kind of beery like a cream?

Speaker 4 (54:16):
Could you could pair that with a sperm?

Speaker 2 (54:21):
Yeah?

Speaker 5 (54:21):
Yeah, so like we just track it naturally and like
avoid pregnancy that way.

Speaker 2 (54:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:25):
Last time I thought I was, how do you feel
about period sex? Like? What is is that? Is there?
Should we not be having sex? I mean, I listen,
we can do whatever you want, but but is it
it's great for cramp production?

Speaker 4 (54:38):
It's great for cramp. Yes, it's soooth cramps the person.
What do you want to do? What is your body here?
Yeah it could it could. Mine are so short and
it just wouldn't. Isn't comfortable for me?

Speaker 1 (54:52):
So I don't.

Speaker 4 (54:53):
Yeah, I've got like a two and a half maybe
three day bleed.

Speaker 1 (54:57):
Yeah lucky.

Speaker 4 (54:58):
Well, I it's not like it's it's paying attention. It
definitely is and tapping into those things. So I avoided
on the first couple of days, but like find the
rest of the days because day two and three you
can kind of get like.

Speaker 2 (55:10):
Don't have sex. Yeah, I feel like most like savage
kind of I'm bleeding, like yeah, day two is usually.

Speaker 5 (55:18):
Like also like the whole region kind of fills up
with blood, so you're like, definitely.

Speaker 1 (55:23):
Really actually bleeding. That's a lot of people to day two,
day one, Day four. I'm good, Day two and three
are two and three are not gonna it's gonna saying
and I'm gonna be stressed out.

Speaker 5 (55:36):
But there are great blankets, like it's like waterproof banket,
but you.

Speaker 4 (55:39):
Can use it shower shower. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (55:42):
But I find that most men, well not most well,
I would say most men are really they're not into
period sex. They get weird about it.

Speaker 4 (55:50):
Again misogyny and the programming that we've had.

Speaker 2 (55:54):
It's only they know they're gonna get psychic powers from
I remember for the.

Speaker 1 (55:58):
First time a man ate my pussy on my period,
and I was like, this is happening, this is we're
doing this, And I was like, I think I'm in love.

Speaker 5 (56:05):
What the.

Speaker 3 (56:08):
Wood?

Speaker 1 (56:10):
He wasn't like like there was I had a tampon
it because I mean.

Speaker 2 (56:15):
And where you need to eat or two you know,
the upper half Listen, baby, yeah, just look at the top.
You'll be perfectly later.

Speaker 1 (56:27):
Oh my god, Well, ladies, thank you so much.

Speaker 2 (56:31):
Wait hold on, Dana, you had to hurry.

Speaker 4 (56:36):

It's a good one. It's so good. You're on good
mom's bad choices. You got to share a horr.

Speaker 4 (56:44):
Well, I became a mom for bad choices.

Speaker 5 (56:48):
Good.

Speaker 2 (56:48):
Well.

Speaker 5 (56:48):
Yes, So.

Speaker 4 (56:51):
I was out for my best friend's birthday. We were
sitting there and it was like a charity event, downtown Dallas,
Christmas time, cold, and We're just sitting there. There's no
nobody there, and I'm like, we gotta we gotta make
a bed. Like if you make out with the guy,
I'll buy you lunch and buy a person. Let's make
it this interesting. Two minutes later, this guy went to
college with who's a party promoter was like, hey, so

(57:11):
and so is going to be here with his boys.
Should we put them by your table?

Speaker 1 (57:14):
Like?

Speaker 4 (57:14):
Hell yeah, put them by my table. And this magical
man walks in. He's like floating on a cloud and
walks straight up to me, and I'm like, do.

Speaker 1 (57:24):
I know, I know?

Speaker 4 (57:25):
I think I met him before, and I'm asking my homegirl.
She's like, yeah, his name is Rod. We met him
out one night. He was drunk. He had a Beyonce
ringt and I was.

Speaker 1 (57:31):
Like, okay, okay, good Beyonce ringoes very specific. It was fair.

Speaker 4 (57:34):
I don't know, I don't know why that that just
it was not it for me at that time. And
so he comes up and he's like hi. I was like,
I know you're right. I met you and he's like,
oh shit. We talked the whole night, and of course
we make out and she buys me abachi. I go
on a family trip because it's Christmas time, come back
and we have our first date. It's it's our first date.

(57:55):
I don't know a lot about him and his drinking tolerance.
And we had a few drinks and we ended up
at my friend's house and it's like game night and
we had a couple more drinks and I'm like, we
have to stay here. You cannot drive in this condition.
He's like okay. So five orgasms later we wake up
and I'm like, okay, that was really that was not
very responsible, Like we should have used the condom. And

(58:18):
he was like, you're you're on the pill. I'm like,
I'm not.

Speaker 3 (58:21):
I just met you.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
What. I don't know what.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
No, I'm not on the pill.

Speaker 4 (58:26):
Yes, because three orgasms before that, he might have thought
I was yeah, she's got to be She texted some
kind of way. Five weeks later, positive pregnancy.

Speaker 3 (58:37):
Oh really?

Speaker 4 (58:40):
Like four days later, I'm like, are you hips are
looking kind of squid like? Not literally four days later,
I'm on the elliptical and I'm like should I can't go?
Like what is going on? It's like, what if I'm pregnant?
We lived like four hours away from each other, like
we were just both in Dallas at the same time,
and and take the pricing test and I just bust

(59:02):
out laughing because I'm an older mom. I was abstinate
for two years before this. Yes really and throw caution
to the wind because I was obviously what ladies, what phase?

Speaker 2 (59:12):
Was I in? Bad choices?

Speaker 4 (59:16):
But I mean we're married now. We got married to Ago.

Speaker 3 (59:18):
He was just like, let's just do it.

Speaker 4 (59:20):
Fuck it like he was like, well, I guess we'll
figure out who's moving where.

Speaker 1 (59:24):
And I was like, fuck, and y'all don't even really
know each other at all.

Speaker 4 (59:27):
No, Well, we had that date and then I guess
I had a bloodle because I was like, that is
my man. I don't want you doing that with anybody else,
And we'll figure it out.

Speaker 2 (59:36):
Brother.

Speaker 4 (59:37):
Organs was later, You're like you're mine, Yes, you're mine.
That was the deal. And we like dated online and
like watched movies at the same time and press play
together and did all of that. And then I'm like,
I might be pregnant. I know, I just met you.
And so soon when I after I was done laughing,
I went to my mama's house and I was, he's
never gonna see me skinny or calm or anything like,

(59:58):
I just don't know me as this, and she's like,
it's gonna be all right, and she's like, are you
gonna keep it? And I was like, yeah, I think so.
I think I will, and you know, we had that
conversation and he was just I was just like, this
is what I'm gonna do. You let me know what
you want to do. And I mean, yeah, that was
about eight years ago. Our daughter's seven and a half.
We had a surprise wedding two summers ago, and yeah,

(01:00:21):
so it turned out, well, it's a cautionary tale.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
Let's let.

Speaker 4 (01:00:27):
That ain't gonna wor I don't go to your don't
go out, don't playing.

Speaker 1 (01:00:40):
I do not.

Speaker 2 (01:00:42):
Was hers.

Speaker 1 (01:00:44):
You might need to edit this, horry, don't care and.

Speaker 4 (01:00:50):
Well, but I mean without being on birth control. Following
a breastflit for like twenty two months, didn't have a
period the whole time, and I was like, I can't
get back on the pill, Like I can't dull my
greatness for a whole month when I'm only fertile for
you know whatever. So I said, I got to figure
my body out, and I didn't. We've not had a
pregnancy since then.

Speaker 1 (01:01:11):
Wow. Is that what kind of led you into the
just being able to really feel definitely howard about knowing
your period.

Speaker 4 (01:01:18):
And reclaiming that because I had gone to college to say, oh,
you don't need a period, you can just take your
pill continuously, and I did for many many years.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
Girl.

Speaker 3 (01:01:26):
Yeah, I beg, I'm going to vacation.

Speaker 4 (01:01:27):

me down that because it's like the whole time, I'm
like I just met him, Like we're in the delivery room,
and I was like, I need you up here because
I just met you. And I didn't realize when you're
giving badginal birth up here and up there like two
inches away from each other. And I'm like telling doctor

Speaker 2 (01:01:53):
Listen, I don't really know him. I don't know, I know. Yeah, yeah,
that's amazing.

Speaker 4 (01:02:03):
And yeah, our families turned out to love each other
and just be happy. Because I was old, my mom
was ready for me to have a babe thirty then,
so it was it was called the geriatric pregnancy the
whole time. That's it's d and disrespectful. And after I
had her, I was like, I need that stricken from
the record, Like, why is that still as one of

(01:02:24):
my symptoms? I crossed that out. I don't go on
my record. I'll be going to the hospital. I don't
want none of that, none of it.

Speaker 1 (01:02:33):
Yeah, wow, thank you for sharing that. And ladies, relax,
not the idea. If you feel like you need five,
just get the condom. You're ovulated.

Speaker 4 (01:02:44):
You you were definitely ovulating if some stranger floats in
on a cloud and you just have to make a
baby with them, right, Sometimes to be like that though, Yeah, yeah, is.

Speaker 1 (01:02:58):
It terrort time?

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
It is Tarot time. But I forgot to ask you
guys to pull pull a card.

Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
Pull a card?

Speaker 4 (01:03:06):
Am I giving it to? Who am I giving it to?
What is it?

Speaker 1 (01:03:10):
Page of Pinnacles and the Four of Cups, the four cups.

Speaker 2 (01:03:19):
Page of Pentacles.

Speaker 6 (01:03:22):
They look like wonderful cards. She pulled the page of pacles.
I feel like pages is like calling on something.

Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
I feel like it's always like a good fortune, the
beginning of one, the beginning of a making sure.

Speaker 4 (01:03:41):
Page.

Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
I think at the beginning in the end, have my Internet.
It's not going fast enough.

Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
Okay, one moment, let me I got you.

Speaker 2 (01:03:49):
Page of it just looks very happy relax cards.

Speaker 1 (01:03:53):
I know you guys. I know for our listeners, we've
told you we're gonna be Tarot queens within two years.

Speaker 4 (01:03:58):
But it hasn't.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
We haven't had, haven't time to be for Tarot queens yet.
So it's going to lead us to the promised land. Okay.
Page of pinnacles manifestation, financial opportunity.

Speaker 4 (01:04:10):
Okay, skill development.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
The page of Pinnacles, like the pages of all four
Tarot suits, brings a welcome message of new beginnings, Yeah
I was right, inspiration, and the initial stages of a
creative project or venture. Since pinnacles rule the material realm
and correspond to the element of Earth, this page symbolizes
a burgeoning, burgeoning awareness of the value of money, wealth, possessions, career,

(01:04:36):
and physical health. And how to manifest more of these
material blessings. You welcome new opportunities to your material life
a new job, a new business, or a financial windfall yes,
throw money on maybe, and wish to discover how to
turn your dreams into a reality. When the page of
pinnacles appears in a tarot reading, you are tapping into
your ability to manifest a personal goal or dream. And

(01:04:57):
maybe in the midst of a new project such as
a hobby, business venture, or the start of a new
educational experience, you are excited about the possibilities and potential
of what you put your mind to, knowing you can
create whatever you want with focused intention and action.

Speaker 2 (01:05:13):
Beautiful every word.

Speaker 4 (01:05:15):
Yay, that's exactly what the season feels.

Speaker 1 (01:05:18):
And when are we manifesting? Is that in? Is that
on menstrel or list that you manifest when you're mental?

Speaker 4 (01:05:26):
That's a good time too, Yeah, definitely.

Speaker 1 (01:05:28):
What phases are you guys in right now?

Speaker 4 (01:05:30):
Ovulation? Yes, I'm entering ovulation tomorrow maybe.

Speaker 1 (01:05:35):
The next thing I don't have too much about in
l A b brought Yes, okay, Four of cups, Meditation, contemplation, reevaluation,
the nation, the relations ejaculations. When the four of Cups

(01:06:01):
turns up in a terror reading. New invitations and opportunities
are flowing to you, but for now you're saying no
and turning them away. Perhaps the prospects do not interest you,
or your cup is full, or you already have too
much on your plate. Use your discernment to decide on
what is truly important to you, and don't be afraid
to decline new projects that don't align with your future path.
The four of Cups can also indicate a time when

(01:06:22):
you are turning your attention and your energy internally to
realign to this new phase of your life. You know
what you need to know that you need to be
standing on firm ground before you can decide your next steps.
While you may need to decline some very alluring opportunities,
you do so knowing you will be in a better
position to say yes to the opportunities that are better
fit for you. You are creating the space within yourself

(01:06:46):
so that you are ready to accept new opportunities later
and give them the best possibility of success. The fourth
cups can appear when you are bored or dissatisfied with
your everyday life. You may feel disengaged. The four of
cups invites you to bring your attention inward and read
evaluate your situation to find a deeper meaning in what
you do. Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:07:06):
Yeahs are always so deep for her are signs. I'm
a virgo, oh leo virgo.

Speaker 1 (01:07:14):
