We have a lot of complicated feelings about our period. We’re no longer the shy teenagers at school who whispered about our periods, but we’re not necessarily the biggest fans of the monthly ritual either, especially not when it comes with cramps, acne, and mood swings. However, we DO love relating with other women and all people with periods about our shared experiences for all things “taboo”, including gynocologist exams and STD tests! Tune in to hear us connect with Melinda and Uma from @lets.sync.health about periods & sexual health.Let's Sync is a platform & community to learn and chat on all things gender and health in an open, inclusive, and encouraging way.

It's been almost exactly 1 year since Crystal has moved to New York City - and, over that past year, many more of our friends have been moving to "The Big Apple" as well!

Today we discuss how NYC has brought out different sides of Crystal and impacted things like financial priorities, making plans, and not yelping at subway rats!Support the showFollow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod
