The Flow with BloodStream Media10 Okt 2024

Connect Your Community to Menstrual Realities

In this live episode from the Hemophilia Foundation of Michigan's Conference for Women and Teens, hosts Jessica and Sarah create an open dialogue about menstruation, aiming to normalize the conversation and encourage self-advocacy.

They invite participants (virtual and in person) to discuss their menstrual journeys, touching on subjects such as heavy bleeding, inadequate medical support, and the stigma surrounding periods. Special guests Christine, Francis, and Erica share stories of managing bleeding disorders, receiving late diagnoses, and utilizing various tools and products for relief. The episode passionately encourages advocacy, community support, and broader education on menstrual health.
