An honest, unfiltered, unapologetic and (at times) irreverent parenting and lifestyle podcast about the realities of being a mom (or dad!) in the 2020s. Launched in 2018 by journalist Sam Herbst and marketing maven Charlene Armstrong, this podcast aims to debunk the myth of perfect parenting through personal (and balanced) accounts of our mothering highs and lows all while tackling a host of relatable lifestyle topics. And because we can hardly pretend to have our own sh*t together our episodes often include interviews with experts who do. Our mission? A representative and inclusive parenting and lifestyle platform that strikes a realistic balance between celebration, commiseration and education, because motherhood and parenting is a complex beast and we shouldn't pretend otherwise. #nojudgies Language: en Genres: Kids & Family, Relationships, Society & Culture Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it |

Episode 103 | MENSTRUATION! Unpacking periods and menstrual health as moms
Tuesday, 18 March, 2025
On this episode of The Great Equalizer we're spilling all the tea on Aunt Flo with a full episode on first periods, menstrual health, and talking to our kids about Shark Week (starting with anatomically correct terminology, of course 😉) We're finally pulling the plaster on a topic that we've always wanted to cover, and one that we feel especially passionate about as women and mothers. We're talking about our very first cycles, how we navigated periods as teens and young women, and how we've chosen to approach menstruation with our children (regardless of gender). There may or may not be a debate about scrotums vs ball sacks, but you're going to have to tune in to see what that's all about 😆 We'd love to HEAR from you too! Talk to us in the comments, or send us a VN via email or socials: 🩸 What was your first period experience? 🩸 How have you tackled this topic with your sons and daughters"? 🩸 Comment 'FLOW' and we'll DM you a link to the episode. LET'S KEEP THE CONVERSATION GOING AND FLOWING... 😏 info@thegreatequalizer.co.za __ #periods #menstruation #menstruationmatters #periodpoverty #parentingpodcast #periodtalk __ This episode was produced as part of Podcasthon, the world's largest podcast charity initiative that brings international podcasters together each year for a cause of their choice. This year, our charity of choice is The MENstruation Foundation, a nonprofit organisation that fights period poverty and gives women dignity. Over the next six months The Great Equalizer will be donating R240/month to The MENstruation which sets up a total of 12 schoolgirls with all the sanitary support that they need for a year. This is such a small drop in the ocean of 7-million South African women who miss school university, sport and work for days at time every month, but in putting our money where our mouth is, we hope to inspire some of our listeners to join us in support of The MENstruation Foundation. Together, let's play a significant role in fighting period poverty across South Africa. __ 🖤 LISTEN 💛 LIKE 🖤 SHARE 💛 SUBSCRIBE And tell us what you think of the episode 🫶🏽 __ NB Links: https://podcasthon.org https://menstruation.foundation https://blushproof.co.za My Sexual Health Seminars: 🩸What Te enage Girls Should Know About Menstrual Sexual Health with Siv Ngesi and Dr Elna Rudolph: https://mysexualhealth.co.za/products/my-sexual-health-webinar-what-teenage-girls-should-know-about-menstrual-sexual-health-with-siv-ngesi-and-dr-elna-rudolph-sponsored-by-femagene?_pos=1&_psq=menstrua&_ss=e&_v=1.0 🩸 Revolutionising Period Health with Lara Briden and Dr Elna Rudolph: https://mysexualhealth.co.za/products/msh-webinar-revolutionising-period-health-with-lara-briden-and-dr-elna-rudolph?_pos=1&_psq=period&_ss=e&_v=1.0 Podcasthon · The MENstruation Foundation · Blushproof: Period Kits · What Teenage Girls Should Know About Menstrual Sexual Health with Siv Ngesi and Dr Elna Rudolph · Revolutionising Period Health with Lara Briden and Dr Elna Rudolph · Watch us on You Tube
