  1. how to not get pregnant (without the pill) with chloe skerlak

    how to not get pregnant (without the pill) with chloe skerlak

    The first tampon I wore chaffed me terribly. I really was not open to anybody’s input on how to wear it ‘properly’... so I just walked stiff-legged around, horrified (yes, I figured it out eventually). These are the kind of heart-felt giggles and stories that today’s episode is FULL OF… with a big side heaping of ‘down with the patriarchy’. If you’re someone who cycles, this episode is likely for you. We’re talking about how to not get pregnant, what a cervix is, being shamed for desire, why systems of power are so obsessed with fertility = pregnancy, why you don’t need to be scared of being fertile, and how you can only biologically get pregnant 6 days a month (and other amazing myth busters about being a fertile human).  Chloe is a Holistic Reproductive Health Practitioner and Fertility Awareness Educator who specializes in working with teens who cycle. Y’all she’s about as real as it gets, and was basically giddy to get to talk about cervixes (my kind of human!). Recommended for folks 12+ who are curious for open conversations about periods, sensuality and sex. Come listen :) xo, Eliza Find show notes and links from the episode at badassgirls.me/podcast/82!   P.S. Season 1 of the Be Real Podcast is coming to a close at the end of 2021 -- and we’re going on a break (for… until I’m ready to record more episodes!)!! If you want stay in the loop and ready my wordy erratic ramblings straight from my messy big sister heart to yours here are some places to make sure you don’t miss me: For badass preteens + teens: I’ve got a CONFIDENT AF playlist me + the mentors made for ya… and as a side benefit → get all the rambling email riffs from my heart to you this winter. Click here! For supportive adults: I made y’all a free 20 minute video lesson on Why Your Teen Girl is a Gift + How to Make Sure She Knows It. It’s straight magic for busy parents/guardians who want to get the good stuff to their kid, but so often feel like they’re meeting straight up resistance ;) Click here to get it!

  3. how to get rid of teen period cramps with natalie martin

    how to get rid of teen period cramps with natalie martin

    Hello loves! I’ve struggled with terrible period cramps, acne breakouts, and menstrual mood swings for as long as I can remember. It felt pretty gosh darn hard (AKA impossible) to ‘embrace my beautiful period’ when it felt like the 2.5 weeks from hell (yes, I’m talking premenstrual and menstrual phases). SO -- I got curious about why these symptoms were happening to me as a teen (and not other people!!)… and how they could get better… and REAL TALK: it got so much better. Natalie K. Martin is a period and menstrual cycle coach who helps people like me to figure out their cycles and I invited her in for a chat on the pod!! You’ll hear us talk about all things crappy symptoms, why they happen to some people, but not others (it’s complex!!), why your premenstrual (or ‘luteal’) phase actually has superpowers -- and why it can FEEL so hard (hello inner critic like WOAH), plus some beautiful ideas for getting started actually fixing these pesky period issues yourself if you’ve got ‘em! So many links in the show notes for you today :) xoxo, come listen -- Eliza Find show notes and links from the episode at badassgirls.me/podcast/79!   P.S.

  4. what happens during an abortion with lily

    what happens during an abortion with lily

    This is one of my favorite episodes on the pod ever, y’all. Lily is an abortion nurse and today we’re getting into the practical, loving details of what actually medically happens during an abortion. If you’ve ever wondered, or you’re curious about your options (even in these times), or you’re supporting a friend who’s preparing for an abortion (please share far and wide!!)... this is what you can expect during the different types of medical abortion. It’s time to demistify abortion care! We also talk about options, access in states that don’t have legal access, how to support a friend emotionally and physically, after care, and all the big feelings that can come up (all your feelings are valid, dear ones). I’m delighted to have this soulful, nourishing, kind conversation about the normal reproductive care that is having an abortion -- and I’m so excited you’ll be listening in. Got a q? Just reach out to me or Lily (she shares her details in the pod). I love y’all. Here’s to kindness, health and access for all! This episode is a great fit for teens, and preteens with an adult listening along to chat with after.

    self-pleasure is normal with ann nguyen

    Hey loves! I’ve been waiting for this conversation to drop for months… Ann is my shero and the human I wish I’d had around when I was a preteen and teen and just like trying to figure out other people’s assumptions about my body...! You’ll hear us talk about how to authentically like your self if that’s feeling hard right now, how self-confidence and feeling good are actually super connected, how to have an orgasm (but not the Cosmo mag version… the real, kind, nuanced version), and SO MUCH MORE. If self-pleasure is feeling weird or wonderful or you’re not even sure what it is (and yes self-pleasure is a BIG topic) then come listen in!!!!! This episode is recommended for teens, and for preteens listening in with an awesome adult to talk more with them about it. Come listen :) xoxox, Eliza Find show notes and links from the episode at badassgirls.me/podcast/77!   P.S.

Content note: Thais shares about her personal history with an Eating Disorder in the first section of the episode, and mentions it briefly in passing a few more times throughout the episode.
