Have you ever experienced period cramps so painful that you couldn’t walk? What about a period so heavy that you bled through an entire maxi-pad in less than an hour? Well, Nikki has!
In the third episode of my podcast, I talk with artist, art educator, and dear friend of mine, Nikki Kamp (she/her), about the tumultuous relationship she has with her period. Together, we reflect on our time teaching abroad together and all of the period mishaps she encountered, coincidentally in my presence! Nikki shares stories about experiencing her first period under extremely inconvenient circumstances, her increasingly debilitating period symptoms, and many, many period stains. Nikki talks about the moment she discovered a softball-sized cyst and endometriosis in her uterus, the challenges of navigating the medical system in Taiwan while living abroad, and her wonderful and nurturing work environment that supported her through her menstrual health issues.
I appreciate Nikki for joining me on my podcast and sharing personal stories about her very painful, very messy, very inconvenient monthly cycle. The more we speak openly and listen to stories about the nitty-gritty details of menstruation, we are helping to normalize this natural body process and reduce stigma.
