We all know periods can be complicated ever changing and often misunderstood. I mean why doesn't anyone ever actually tell you how to first use a tampon properly or that getting an RUD would hurt this much?

I know that's why Libra is on a mission to bridge the gap between what you're told and what you actually experience.

Did you know 75% of girls start their first period with negative emotions?

And 59% of women wish they'd been taught more about periods throughout their lives.

Libra is here to help you navigate your menstrual journey with confidence and care from your first period to your last.

If you've ever felt dismissed with it's just a period and I'm sure we've all heard that before, Libra says it is never just a period. It is so much more.

Share your experiences at W.W.. Love Libra.com. Hello. Hello and welcome to Shameless, the Pop Culture Podcast for Smart Women who really love dumb stuff.

You're joined as always by Melbourne journalist Zara McDonald and Michelle Andrews.

Merry Christmas?

I know the final show of the year.

Final Monday show anyway.

We're going to be the soundtrack to your

Christmas baking today or you're driving or your shopping or whatever you're getting up to

because we are talking all about Carl Stephanovik's unceremonious dumping from the

today show plus the love actually debate that's making us a little bit mad and how turning culture has fallen victim to alternative facts.

But first, Zara, how is your week?

This has got to be my favorite week of the year. But in saying that I feel like I have bags

under my eyes that have been engraved there for the last six months. I just looked in the mirror

the other day and I am about to

think that's because it's the end of the year and I'm realizing

I am about to jump on a plane after this record

nothing like trying to fit everything in.
