Hello, this is episode 267 and today we're chatting about the practice of steaming your vagina and before you're like,

oh my gosh, this is totally weird, I'm going on to the next episode.

If you are interested in shortening your cycle because it's too long

extending your cycle because it's too short regulating your period reducing PMS

focusing on fertility we cover everything today including what the practice of Yoni steaming is like, what to expect,

when not to do it, how it works, why it works, the history around this, starting a practice around focusing on your vaginal health, the period

care and the compliments to steaming how we can care for our bodies throughout our cycle so that our period is a pleasant experience as opposed to horrible and like so so so so much more.

So there are two trigger warnings that I want to chat with you about before you get started with today's

episode. The first is that we chat about some, I want to say risque things and if you are not open to or balanced and empowered in your sexual health

It may feel like it's a bit too much and I don't know about you but our guest today and I actually talk about when things feel like they're too much how to move through that and how to know if it's right for you. So if you do get triggered by this because we're talking about sexual health, we talk about also how to lean into it.

Another trigger warning is that we talk about the history of gynecology and slavery.

I was able to find some resources, which I linked to in the show notes if you're interested in this story and going deeper into the history.

I also found a book that comes highly recommended on this which I've also included in the show notes and because we're talking about some pretty uncomfortable things I also

wanted to bring that up and I think it's unfortunate that this history existed in fact I didn't know about it until

Kit mentioned it today so I love learning so I just wanted to

present you with those trigger warnings before we get started with the show. The

reason why I wanted to have our guest on today Kit Maloney is because I actually purchased a vaginal

steaming kit a couple of months ago in fact her vaginal steaming kit and it came to my

door and on the little letter she said I can't believe you purchased this I've been

following you for years and I thought it was so great she reached out to me a couple of

months after and I told her that I stopped using it because it didn't work for me.

And then I invited her on to the show and she asked and she said, yes, of course I'll come.
