Jessie and Lonnie Braun

 We all remember getting the infamous 'Talk'; it can be embarrassing and awkward and make you want to burrow away and never face the world again. This week, Jessie chats with her Mom Lonnie about their introductions to menstruation and the role education played with how comfortable they were with periods. Lonnie opens up about infertility, period tracking, and motherhood. Throughout the episode, they chat about everything from first period stories to cancer scares to that elusive menopause. The open and engaging conversation reminds us why, sometimes, we just need our Mommy's.

Love-XX presents The Periodical -- a podcast where our host, Jessie Braun, speaks with people who want to advocate change, and stop the global menstruation stigma. Women spend about 8.5 years of their life bleeding and we want to talk about it. We believe there is empowerment in freely talking about our periods. We want to talk about things like: how is menstruation represented in pop culture? Why are we hiding tampons up our sleeves as we walk to the bathroom? What new hygiene technologies are in development? We are sharing period stories that need to be heard. This is Love-XX: The Periodical.
