Lunarscape #8: All About Period Pain

Ah, it has been a minute since I released a new episode of Lunarscape, but I’m so glad to be back! I’ve figured out a solution to recording with the noisy background of India and have recovered from getting Covid last month. So, stay tuned for more to come soon.

I have been talking with people in my community about their struggles with their menstrual cycle and what I can create to support them in that. If you would like to add your story you can fill out this questionnaire (there is also a giveaway for those who contribute). One of the most common struggles I heard, has been period pain.

For all of you out there suffering and wondering if it is possible to have a reduced pain or pain-free bleed, this episode is for you! Here are just some of the topics I cover in the episode:

• my personal story of going from an 11/10, vomiting + fainting, to a 3/10 period pain
• results from my informal Instagram poll on how others experience period pain
• how to bring up period pain at work + with loved ones, so you can be supported
• the two types of period pain and when to know it is time to see your health care provider
• some practical tips to try to relieve your pain
• how striving for the “perfect pain-free period” could be harmful
• turning the story around and being grateful for the pain
