2. Dragon-Slayers and Body Literacy: Why Knowing Your Anatomy is Revolutionary

The world feels heavy, and I’ve been thinking a lot about the kind of world my kids are growing up in. One thing I know? Knowledge is power—and understanding our bodies is a form of reclaiming that power.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the basics of female reproductive anatomy and the hormones that drive the menstrual cycle. Because if we were taught about our bodies in shame-free, accurate ways from the start, we wouldn’t have to fight so hard to reclaim this knowledge as adults.

We’ll talk about:
✨ The key players in the female reproductive system—what they actually do and why they matter
✨ The hormones that influence your cycle and how they impact everything from mood to fertility
✨ Why using real, anatomically correct language is an act of empowerment
✨ How understanding your own body supports informed consent and bodily autonomy

This is more than just biology—it’s about equipping ourselves (and future generations) with the knowledge we all deserve. Because I’m not just raising kids—I’m raising dragon-slayers.
