This is Womanhood
29 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 1 month ago -Interviewing people from all walks of life around the theme womanhood.
We talk about everything from menstruation and female sexuality to yoga, mental illness, parenting, astrology and everything in-between. Nothing is off limits, because everything is weaved into the experience of womanhood.
I've been running womens circles for the past year and the idea for the podcast is to take that same energy to an online platform.
By listening to women share their stories it allows us to feel more connected to each other. To know that you are not alone in your experiences and that everything you're feeling is normal.
I hope you enjoy!
