EP 38. No Thanks Papa - The Menstrual Cycle

Episode Summary

Everyboooodayyyy (yeaaaaah) listen to this episode! It's a long-y but a good-y. Sam takes us on a journey through the female reproductive system to educate us on the menstrual cycle. We also lose our minds a little bit along the way but that is NOT because we're on our periods, okay?! GAWD. *CONTENT WARNING: anatomy, reproductive organs, overall medical talk*
