You’ve been told it’s “just PMS.” That motherhood is always magical. That periods are dirty. Time to unlearn it all.

In this powerful and painfully honest episode, I sit down with Dr. Anjali Kumar – renowned gynecologist, founder of The Clinic, and a leading voice in women’s health – to dismantle the stigma around periods, pregnancy, post-partum, and everything in between, one truth at a time.
She brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to topics often left unspoken like:

The psychological impact of PMS and why it's more than just mood swings.
My candid postpartum experiences and emotional struggles.
Debunking myths around menstruation and promoting period positivity.
The societal pressures of being the "perfect mom" and its mental toll.
The importance of educating both men and women about women's health issues.
Strategies for seeking help and building supportive communities.

Whether you're navigating the complexities of motherhood, seeking to understand women's health better, or aiming to support the women in your life, this episode offers invaluable insights and heartfelt stories.
