Periods + Religion

FLOW’s Jessica and Sarah discuss a myriad of theologies and how they address menstruation… While extreme menstrual experiences can feel punishing, menstruation is not a punishment. Sarah and Jessica share contributions from Morgan Siggard and Dr. Perkins as they unpack the religious-shame associated with periods and the importance of working with different cultural practices in the doctor’s office. 

FLOW continues its mission to normalize conversation around menstruation - straight talk about extreme periods available on monthly episodes - released the second Thursday of each month!
