This episode explains in detail the reasons why hiring a birth doula is such a great decision! Not only do doulas offer emotional and physical support to mothers, but they also increase birth outcomes in terms of intervention use and the mother’s overall opinions about the birth.
Doulas can offer support to mothers regardless of the birth plan… Natural birth mothers and c-section mothers can all utilize the help of professional birth partners–doulas!

Let’s Not Be Squeamish About Our Vaginal Goo, Ya’ll - Episode 70 [ 19:56 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | DownloadThis episode focuses mostly on the subject of these two articles:
A Brief Chat With a Woman Who Made Yogurt From Her Vaginal Secretions – a Jezebel article by Mark Shrayber
How to Make Breakfast With Your Vagina – a Motherboard article by Janet Jay
As you can now probably guess, this episode is a discussion about a woman who made yogurt with her vaginal juices and reported on its flavor… A fact that I find inspiring and fantastic! In addition, I delve deeper into the world (ours) where people get so freaked out over anything that comes out of a woman’s ho-ha (except babies).
Why is it okay for semen cookbooks to exit while the idea of eating vaginal yogurt seems gross?
Why does eating vaginal yogurt feel so taboo?
How can we cure our communities of the “Eww, gross!” response to all things that emerge from our fantastic private parts?
This episode will be a great second or third course to these other episodes about the fabulous ecosystem of the vagina: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Vaginas and Cervixes, Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Vaginas and Vulvas, and Menstrual Cups Are For You and For Me!

This episode tells a personal story about finding a lump in my breast and the procedure and decisions that followed. Not only do I speak about this experience, but I share some interesting facts about breast lumps and the possible things that could be going on inside your boobs. I’m not a medical doctor, of course, but after hearing and reading the thoughts of doctors, I’ve been able to compile some important information here about your breast health and the possibilities.
Whether it’s a cyst, a fibroadenoma, or traumatic fat necrosis (it is much more likely to be one of these instead of cancer), it’s important to know the warning signs, potential causes, and what options you have. Bottom line: do what feels the best for you… Research it, get checked up, and decide which procedures are the best for you!

This episode a brief reminder to be sure to take the time and let yourself rest and take a break this holiday season. Women usually run the holidays in their households and sometimes resting and relaxing can bring up feelings of guilt. It shouldn’t! Winter is a time for hibernating and digging into the stores. Spring is the time for action and winter is the time for reflection. Naked time with yourself is a great way to slow down and give yourself some quality time, but no matter which way you choose to take a break, your immune system, body, and emotional state will thank you!

I am a big supportive of STD/STI testing!
Regardless of your relationship statues or sexual practices, it is most definitely a great idea to be tested for HIV and other STDs. I always get tested with my partner each time I begin a new relationship… You should be able to ask for what you want and your partner should always be willing to undergo this with you!
There are many benefits to being tested (which is cheap or even free!), including knowing for sure about your overall sexual health, getting a better idea about the mutual respect existing in your current relationship, and helping you choose your life partner.
Check out today’s episode for all about STD testing: what the experience is like and more reasons why STD testing is right for you and everyone!

Menstrual cups are some of the greatest things ever, like, EVER!
I found menstrual cups for dealing with my period many years ago and I haven’t looked back to tampons or pads since! Menstrual cups, like the Diva Cup, are far more affordable than tampons or pads (costing around$50 for 5-10 years of use), easy to use and clean, fun and scientific (since you must get a little bit down and dirty to use them), and have no associated trash (like wrappings, applicators, and the tampons and pads themselves).
If you’re interested in taking charge of your period and your body in a hands-on, awesome way (trust me, you are!), a menstrual cup is right for you! Check out this episode for the dirty details about sticking a rubbery cup up your vagina!
