Welcome to Talk About Your Period: The podcast that normalizes and celebrates all things menstrual. After all, it’s just blood. I'm Karen Daubert, and each episode I talk with fellow menstruators about their experience having a period. Periods can be messy, complicated, hilarious, joyful, devastating, and more.
