Hey Estrogen Empire! *TRIGGER WARNING* this episode contains discussions of depression, self-harm and suicidal intent. If this is not supportive to you and your journey feel free to skip this episode. In this episode I walk you through my thesis, a primary research study that I conducted from 2019-2020. This study intended to analyze postpartum depression via narrative inquiry - story telling. My hope was to transcend the individual beyond medical reductionism, and understand the unique lived experience of the illness. During this episode, you can expect to hear various stories of postpartum depression and engage in a thought provoking discussion about the illness.

Endometriosis is a chronic illness characterized by painful, heavy periods, depression, fatigue, and more. There is currently no cure for endometriosis, however several researchers are currently studying how our diet may effect the pathology of the condition.

Oh wow. This episode has been a long time coming but it felt SO GOOD to sit down with my good friend and coworker, Ingrid Gerol. For those of you who know Ingrid, congrats - you have met one of the most genuine people on earth. For those of you who do not know Ingrid - welcome, she is about to make you really rethink a lot of your thought processes. Ingrid and I were fortunate enough to cross paths at our work, Patagonia. Ingrid is a writer, runner, outdoor enthusiast, creator, leader, and all around lover. She lets us know why putting ourselves in uncomfortable situations is so essential for growth and discovering who we are. She gets deep and real about being authentic, different, and true to exactly who you are. Ingrid touches upon her stories solo-traveling, finding solitude, and why it is so important to spend time alone. With my whole heart, I love Ingrid and this episode so so much, and I am sure you are going to love it too. Thank you Ingrid for coming on the show.

Over the last year of hosting various Estrogen Empire topics, I thought it was time we create tangible change. After learning about period inequity in Canada, I felt compelled to do something about it. Did you know that 1 third of women under the age of 25 have struggled to pay for period products? Did you know that in Northern Indigenous Communities in Canada can range anywhere from $16-$45? Period inequity is a burden that many women face. Access to menstrual products should be a human right, not a luxury. The Estrogen Empire, it is time we come together to collect menstrual products to donate to those who need them. I asked Founder of Moon Time Sisters Ontario to come on the show and provide insight to where our donations are going. I will be collecting donations via mail and contactless drop off from now until March 8th. Please, if you are able to donate 1 small pack of pads, please do. Let's do this.
