Listen "Episode 79: Beyond Your Period: Exploring Menstrual Health Part One with guest and BFF Sarah Rich"
Episode Synopsis
Hello, hi! In this episode, I have the pleasure of welcoming Sarah, an exceptional force in my life, not only my BFF but an amazing women's health advocate. Drawing from her background in Sexuality, Marriage, and Family studies, coupled with a minor in psychology, Sarah brings a distinctive perspective that shapes our conversation. Her versatile career journey—from construction to taxes and beauty—has honed her adaptability and nurtured an insatiable curiosity.
Venturing abroad during her dynamic 20s ignited her love for exploration, a passion she now fuels through running, rowing, boxing, and weight lifting. Sarah embraces the roles of a devoted spouse and a mother of three, excelling in both her professional pursuits and her familial bonds.
With over a decade dedicated to fostering student development at a university, Sarah empowers young minds to flourish, though her true calling lies in championing diversity and inclusivity. Her advocacy extends to women, visible minorities, and LGBTQIA+ individuals, enriching lives through her unrelenting commitment.
In the first part of our conversation, we journey through the evolution of our understanding of menstruation. Sarah imparts insights into the various phases of the menstrual cycle, shedding light on the intricate interplay of hormones and its impact on women's well-being and empowerment
As our conversation continues we dismantle some of the myths surrounding the menstrual cycle, focusing on debunking misconceptions about PMS. We navigate the historical taboos and stigmas that have impeded progress and women's rights.
As we wrap up part one of this conversation our focus turns to menstrual health education and empowerment.
Sarah's remarkable journey of quietly embracing life's challenges while empowering others, including myself, to embrace their authentic selves, serves as an inspiring beacon of encouragement.
Join us in this empowering conversation, where we celebrate the essence of womanhood and the resilient spirit that binds us all
