What’s the most iconic day for somebody to get their first period? Why, the bloodiest day of the year, of course– Friday the 13th!

In the second episode of my podcast, I talk with my best good friend Paula Pineda (she/her) about a very special Friday the 13th in her life: the day she got her first period! I had so much fun chatting with Paula about her menstrual experiences, and we bonded over some shared coming of age milestones, such as reading the quintessential American Girl girl guide, “The Care & Keeping of You,” and the staining and discarding of many pairs of underwear throughout our adolescent years.

I am so honored to have Paula on my podcast to share stories about her life and her period, as I think you’ll find her stories to be relatable, hilarious, and endearing. Paula is currently the lead assistant at a shelter for unhoused people in her city, and I look forward to having her back on the podcast very soon to discuss her background working with those who are experiencing period poverty firsthand.
