About

Every girl remembers her first period — but not many remember anyone explaining it. We were given products, not understanding. Rules, not clarity. Silence, not support. And years later, so many women still navigate their cycles thinking confusion is normal. What if the missing piece wasn’t our body… but the conversations we never had?


In this heartfelt episode of the Women Wellness First Podcast, host Navyasara sits with her mother, Pooja Jaiswal — Integrative Nutritionist & Women’s Hormonal Health Expert, for a warm and open conversation about periods, hormones and the emotional side of growing up with little guidance. It isn’t a lecture — it’s the honest chat girls should’ve had long before adulthood.


In this episode, they talk about:

- Why do so many girls have painful periods and don’t know what’s normal?

- How moods, PMS and emotional changes can shift across the menstrual cycle.

- How stress, sleep and daily habits may influence period pain and mood swings.

- Why women often overlook early signs of hormonal imbalance.

- How periods can affect emotional wellbeing and why no one talks about it.

- How open conversations can help women feel more confident about their cycle.


This episode isn’t about telling women what’s right or wrong — it’s simply about giving space to feelings and questions that were never spoken out loud. Whether you’re a teen, a mother, or someone reconnecting with your body after years of confusion, this conversation may bring comfort, clarity and a sense of relief.
