“There is so much power and to your point, permission and beauty in knowing it [menstrual cycle]. Everything makes sense. You stop feeling like you’re crazy and start realizing that you’re part of nature…it’s common sense.” -Martine Resnick

This episode introduces Martine Resnick, one of the co-founders of the Lola, and her journey from corporate paper pusher to community advocate for the working womxn of Atlanta. Martine and Carrie discuss their upbringings and how their communities addressed menstrual cycles, the roller coaster experience of being a womxn, a mother, and business owner, the treatment of womxn in the UK versus in America, and the importance of having support and taking time for yourself. They also speak on how 28ish and the Lola forged a relationship of support and advocacy for normalizing menstrual cycle awareness.
