      <title>Shame, Stigma, and Normalization of Periods</title>
      <link>https://www.itsaugust.co/</link>
      <description>Libra synergy engaged! August’s creative powerhouses and fellow Libras Neddy and Ruby are on today’s episode talking about their personal and professional evolution of the normalization of periods–specifically their own…on social media. Working for a company like August has pushed them well past what they assumed their comfort zones to be, but it didn’t start out that way–it’s been a lot of awkward TikToking from semi-public areas, but the journey has rewarded them in ways they never could have imagined.

      <title>Meet Ruby Moon + Importance of Accessible Education</title>
      <link>https://itsaugust.co/</link>
      <description>You’ve undoubtedly seen Ruby Moon’s face (including those killer eyebrows) on August’s TikTok, but today you get to meet the person behind the social media account! Ruby’s in NYC for Team August week and she’s ready to share everything, starting with her first period story, where she shouted out the (open) bathroom door to her entire family that she had started menstruating. She also teaches us what it was like to grow up as a camp kid, how that influenced her studies and desired career path, and how it all eventually led straight to August.

      <title>August Goes to Electric Forest</title>
      <link>https://itsaugust.co/</link>
      <description>When August was offered an opportunity to pass out their tampons and pads at Electric Forest music festival, they jumped at the opportunity to share their products and take the team’s first official business trip. The unforeseen bonuses exceeded their expectations–they got into conversations about menstruation with all types of people, because, *spoiler alert* … tons of menstruators were menstruating and needed that freebie! The team also talks about getting #justiceforpads and how the news on the overturning of Roe v. Wade impacted their weekend as the news broke during their departure for Michigan.

      <title>Your First Gyno Visit with Dr. Heather</title>
      <link>https://itsaugust.co/</link>
      <description>Have you been to the gynecologist yet? Dr. Heather Irobunda is an obstetrician gynecologist based out of Queens, New York, and she has all the information you could hope for ahead of your first visit–and then some. Her time spent as an active duty OBGYN has set her on a mission to transform doctor-patient relationships, as she has witnessed a major gap in access to reliable information. On top of that, she knows it’s hard to feel comfortable with your healthcare provider–especially for women of color. So she unpacks it all for us today, from first periods to IUD insertion and of course, your first trip to the gynecologist, so you can feel empowered when seeking medical care.

      <title>Discussing Roe v. Wade: Pro-Abortion</title>
      <link>https://itsaugust.co/</link>
      <description>Trigger Warning: this episode discusses abortion in detail, including a personal abortion story.
The recent news about the possible overturning of Roe V. Wade is an agonizing reality. The topic of abortion is so closely linked to periods and personally to the members of our team, so it’s time to talk about August’s stance on abortion. 
Unlike the other episodes, this one is a conversation between Nadya, Davi and Neddy with no guests or community call-out. In this episode, the trio discuss navigating personal &amp; company values and Davi shares her abortion story.

      <title>Menopause 101 with Stacy London</title>
      <link>https://itsaugust.co/</link>
      <description>Nadya, Sam, and Neddy are back together with some big questions about menopause, and Stacy London is here to shed some light on the subject. Stacy is the former co-host of TLC’s What Not to Wear, as well as a stylist, fashion consultant, author, and editor, and she is now the Co-Founder and CEO of State of Menopause, a personal care and lifestyle brand that seeks to provide symptomatic relief and open up the public conversation around menopause. Stacy gives us an epic lesson on the physical, mental, and emotional impacts of menopause, gender inclusivity, sex drive, and who is standing in the way of medicinal remedies for some of the most common symptoms of menopause (here’s a hint…it’s not women). This episode busts open myths around aging and the sexualization (or de-sexualization) of women and girls in relation to their menstrual cycle.

      <title>Eating Disorders and Periods</title>
      <link>https://itsaugust.co/</link>
      <description>This week’s episode explores the intersection of eating disorders and the menstrual cycle. Neddy is joined by August teammates Elena Gadekar (Customer Care Associate) and newest member Davi Nova (Brand Designer) to kick off the conversation on the correlation between eating disorders and menstruation. Elena then dives in deeper with Johanna Kandel, Founder and CEO of the National Alliance for Eating Disorders, which is the leading national nonprofit organization that provides education, referral, and support for all humans experiencing all types of eating disorders, as well as support for their loved ones. With Johanna’s expertise and lived experience and Elena’s history as a ballet dancer coloring the conversation, the two discuss how eating disorders affect the whole body, how athleticism plays a part in both eating disorders and the menstrual cycle, the types of amenorrhea, and if and how eating disorders can affect fertility.

      <title>Building August with Co-Founders Nadya and Nick</title>
      <link>https://itsaugust.co/</link>
      <description>Starting a company is a huge undertaking, but today’s guest has done it twice (and he’s only 23!). Nick Jain is the Co-Founder and COO of August, the sustainable period product brand behind this podcast, and he did it alongside the show’s very own Nadya Okamoto (Co-Founder and CEO). Nick sits down with Nadya to talk about the ins and outs of being a Gen Z entrepreneur: designing a product and supply chain, fundraising (and how far $2.5 million will really get you), what it means to be a direct-to-consumer business, and the complications of navigating the legal side of starting a business when you don’t have a law degree. And Nick doesn’t leave without sharing what he considers to be the most important skill he’s cultivated as a founder and leader.

      <title>Gender Inclusivity</title>
      <link>https://itsaugust.co/</link>
      <description>It might be your first instinct to categorize menstruation as a feminine/women’s issue–but this episode calls on you to think about it in a deeper and different way. Nadya Okamoto is joined by Chesley Chan, Chief of Staff for August and Max Payne, a former engagement lead for August, for an eye-opening discussion on the need for expanded support and education in the period space that is gender inclusive and affirming as a human biological process. Max then takes the lead to sit down with Schuyler Bailar, an internationally celebrated inspirational speaker, author, and advocate, as well as the first transgender NCAA D1 men's athlete, for a discussion that unpacks trans inclusion, body acceptance, mental health awareness, and an exploration of the word “menstruator” as either reductive or inclusive.

      <title>Sustainability and Greenwashing</title>
      <link>https://www.itsaugust.co/</link>
      <description>What is greenwashing? It’s when companies use misleading marketing tactics to give you, the consumer, the false impression that their products and processes are environmentally friendly. And while there are tons of companies (like August) out there making positive changes, there’s just as many greenwashers using fancy jargon to mislead you. And since Gen Z is all about holding brands accountable for their carbon footprint, Neddy links up with August Chief of Staff Chesley Chan to play a round of “fact or cap,” where they target buzzwords and bust open the mythical figures companies use to give you the impression of sustainability. Neddy is then joined by Priscilla Tsai, Co-founder and CEO of cocokind, a skincare company dedicated to conscious product creation, powered by plants, is cruelty-free, and continues to be a leader in sustainable business practices.

      <title>Understanding Endometriosis</title>
      <link>https://www.itsaugust.co/</link>
      <description>Have you ever experienced painful period symptoms and wondered if they were outside of “the norm”? What is “the norm” anyway? Did you wonder if it could be endometriosis, but weren't exactly sure what that would look and feel like? This week on The Period Feels, Nadya, Neddy, and Sam unpack some easily accessible, yet potentially confusing, definitions of endometriosis--some capable of complicating an already-murky conversation around the disease. We then call upon the experts, starting with Sam (@samxendo on TikTok and @sam.endogram on Instagram), a 22-year-old stage 4 Endo Warrior, who has gained a social media following for her honest portrayal of what it’s like to live with endometriosis. We also hear from Dr. Dan Martin, Scientific and Medical Director at the Endometriosis Foundation (EndoFound), who helps us understand what can and should be expected from doctors when you’re exploring painful and confusing symptoms.

      <title>Welcome to The Period Feels</title>
      <link>https://www.itsaugust.co/</link>
      <description>Welcome to The Period Feels, a podcast that answers the period questions you’ve always had, but didn’t know who to ask. The Period Feels is a podcast born out of a surplus of questions that August leadership were constantly fielding from their community, and the team is here to give you the answers. August was co-founded by host Nadya Okamoto, and joining her on the mic is August’s Creative Producer Sam De La Cruz and Content Director Nadya (Neddy) Eddy. In this inaugural episode, the group answers a question from a community member who wants to know about the individual journeys that eventually brought them together, which turned out to be a combination of serendipity and a love for accessible period products. And wasting no time getting into period talk, the group shares their first period stories and how their conversations about periods with friends and family have evolved over the years.
