This week, podcast host and producer of CRAMPED: Kate Downey joins Sam to discuss all things periods. Growing up in rural Maine with a bowl cut, playing a dwarf in The Lord of the Rings play, and having her bedroom in the attic.. Kate had literally everything a y2k tween needed. Sam and Kate chat about the misleading advice in the 1998 ‘The Care and Keeping of You,’ the importance of doctors trusting young women’s severe menstrual pain, and navigating their respective diagnoses of PCOS and endometriosis.   

Let’s dive into all of our y2k memories that have been compartmentalized, repressed and forgotten. Let’s Talk, Girl.
