Rebelling Against Body Shame as an Indian Woman with Shivani Jobanputra

What if your body—your natural cycles—weren’t just considered shameful, but impure? What if you were told you couldn’t enter the kitchen during your period, and no one could touch you, simply because your culture deemed you unclean?

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Shivani Jobanputra—wild woman, radical rebel, and sacred sister—who grew up under these very restrictions. Told again and again that her period made her untouchable, Shivani chose a different path. She challenged the beliefs ingrained in her family, stood in her truth, and reclaimed her period as a source of power. Today, she is not only liberated but is sharing stories of period power and womb wisdom with the next generation—ensuring that no child grows up feeling exiled from their own body.

Together, we explore:
✨ The impact of cultural taboos and patriarchal conditioning around menstruation
✨ The emotional and spiritual journey of reclaiming your body and breaking generational cycles
✨ How Shivani’s personal resistance led to transformation within her family and community
✨ The deep power of trusting your body, honouring your cycles, and reclaiming your voice
✨ Why menstrual shame is a global issue—and how we can dismantle it together

This episode is a call to liberation—for yourself, for your ancestors, and for the generations to come.
