Welcome to Day 3 of 131 Days of Taboo Talks, where we explore a topic that hits far too close to home for so many women: modern day hysteria in our healthcare system. Elis gets personal by sharing her own experience, of being told “there is nothing we can do” and how it took community and resources like these two podcast episodes to advocate for herself. If You Have Female Hormones Listen to This The Burden of Fibroids for Black Women For thousands of years, women have been told their pain is imaginary, dramatic and fake. Wait until you hear what the Ancient Egyptians caused hysteria. Nearly comical. If you’re navigating through a health scare and hitting road blocks, know that you are not alone. In an age of information, knowledge is power and sharing our stories can help each other stand up for our health.
Monogamy, a choice or default? Day 2 of 131 Days of Taboo Talks, was heavily influenced by the relationship books Getting the Love You Want, Mating in Captivity and The Ethical Slut, and learning what it means to balance familiarity and erotism, a concept that challenges the notion of monogamy. We explore the different relationship styles, and take a deeper look into whether most humans believe what relationship style is more natural, monogamy or non-mongamy? And what ChatGPT has to say about which relationship style is harder. What do you think?

What the ‘FRIGS’ do you know about consent? Don’t lie - because the parent of all parents, Planned Parenthood found that only 55% of us can actually define it correctly. Yikes. We can sit here and blame religious teachings, the education system, or legal guardians, but why not use that time to learn a thing or two. Especially if you are a sexually active adult. In the first episode of 131 Days of Taboo Talks, we are dialing it back to where it all began, an unfiltered conversation on consent. Originally inspired by the hit television series, ‘I May Destroy You’ by Michaela Coel, where we explore, without judgment, what consent actually means, possible gray areas and relying on vibes. Because is an “enthusiastic yes” really a sign for safety? Join the conversation over on Instagram @tt.suite - where you can DM your questions, thoughts, comments, and concerns.
