39. Periods: Real talk with Miriam Prosnitz - a podcast by Kayla Yoder

Miriam Prosnitz is the author of the new book Period? Life with Menstruation pre-selling this April. Miriam wrote Period? to address the cultural taboos around menstruation. After interviewing dozens of women, Miriam composed 15 fictional narratives showing the vast differences in experiences and what it's really like to be a woman and menstruate. These stories represent real women living their lives while also having, or not having, a period. Nothing’s off limits, from awkward smells to awful birth control. There's even one story with an exploding menstrual cup. You will laugh, you will cry, you will appreciate the marvels of womanhood. Outside of her book, Miriam works as a Product Manager in the tech industry, loves hiking and her heating pad (it's the only thing that works for bad cramps).
