This episode discusses themes of abortion, miscarriage, pregnancy loss, IVF and fertility.

This episode is a conversation with the incredible Amy Wilding - author, circle keeper and self-confessed menarchist.

Amy has just recently released her new book - Period of Change: Welcoming Your Daughter's Period with Care & Confidence - which is absolutely amazing. The work that Amy is doing in supporting young girls in their menstruality journey is revolutionary and something that I hope, in time, will be available in Scotland too.

This conversation is Amy's story of how she got into this work and why she feels it is so important - especially conversations around pleasure, consent and using correct anatomical terminology.

This episode is a conversation with Lydia Reeves and is one that I have been unbelievably excited about because the work that I did with her as a body casting artist is what led to setting up Periods and Pleasure...

Lydia has worked as a body casting artist for almost seven years now and has seen hundreds of bums, boobs and body parts. Her work started with vulva casting and she is currently working on an incredible new book and exhibition to celebrate body diversity in its entirety. I can't wait for you to hear this one!
