Welcome to the Normal to Nomad podcast, where we share stories, thoughts, ideas, and conversations on our journey to find balanced with nature in a technologically advanced world.

My name's Barron.

And I'm Elsa. We've lived five years on the road in our 13-foot scamp trailer, exploring the back country of the West with our dog camp.

Now, we dive into a new chapter as we build an off-grid home on our land in Colorado.

Hello, and welcome back to another normal to nomad podcast episode.

This one, I'm going to be taking the reins on, but Baron is here because it's also a very

important topic for dudes. Yeah. And we won't just be talking about periods, but most of it will be

about hormones, women's hormones specifically in periods, right? And the reproductive cycle and how

to operate all these things as a couple in a tiny space.

Camping, traveling.

That's really important for dudes especially to like figure out how this all works.

Because then you and your spouse or significant other or what have you can work as a team rather than like a hormonal cycle just being like a big surprise for everybody

because that's no fun.

Even though guys don't have reproductive cycles, periods, they still experience it directly or indirectly.

Even if it's not a couple, like half the population is made up of women.

Right.

So if we could all be a little bit more open about talking about this, I think there'd be a lot more empathy and understanding.

Because if I know that you're going to be sad or like experiencing different, different like modes of thinking that are difficult then I can

help you with that but if it's all just a surprise and I'm here trying to figure out what in the

world's going on and there's nothing actually wrong but it feels like everything's wrong it's like

I can't I don't know what to do.

Yeah, it's really challenging.
