The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Hello, hello, hello, everybody.

Welcome back to the What We Said podcast.

Hey, if things are sounding a little clearer over here, it's because I got my antibiotics and I'm living. Well, okay, as I'm talking, I'm like, I still sound a little nasly. But we are in the clear and I am ready as soon as I'm off my period. Oh, not the period hitting right when you're starting to feel better. The antibiotics the same day I started my period. And I was like, I'm so excited to feel better. I was just like, I've been waiting.

I've been edging myself of the day I'm not sick anymore.

I'm like, I'm so excited to feel better. I was just like, I've been waiting. I've been edging myself of the day I'm not sick anymore. I'm like, oh, when I wake up with energy and a clear mind, bitches better watch out. And then I woke up to blood in my pants. I'm like, okay? And horrible cramps. The second this is over, it's over for everyone.

Oh, the second I stop being on my period and I'm antibiotic-free and I'm clear, it's over for you, Ho's.

I'm so happy for you.

Thank you.

Well, don't be happy for me yet.

We are synced.

Really?

We're synced now?

I thought we were before. We were, but then we got off. Yeah, I'm supposed to start a day or two. Nice. You know, things are brewing, starting to feel ugly, starting to feel upset by everything. So that's how I know it's coming. And I looked at my app and they said, two days away, mama. I don't know how you could possibly feel ugly because your skims ad. The second I

saw it, I started doing push-ups and sit-ups. I'm like, stop it right now. Literally in fast motion.

Like, exit the app immediately, sets my alarm for 6.30 a.m. to go to a workout class. But you know,

that's the compliment. That's the spell of the of the period, theal cycle, because I also, the day before my period, I was crying on my way home from, I don't even know where I was coming home from. I'm like, why am I so sad? Like, for no reason. I'm just so sad about something. And I knew, though. I knew. So I was able to kind of like clock out of the depths of

despair because I'm like, I am feeling sad, but I know I'm starting my period tomorrow.

Because this level of like self-doubt sadness and security and just like existential sadness,

I know it will lift. Yes. I know it will lift. It really is crazy that it's just so, I feel like that's what it is for me is like so much self-doubt where I'm just like everything I'm doing is bad. Like I'm not good at anything and then I look at my app. I'm like, hmm. No one likes me. Nothing I'm doing is working. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Nothing's worth it. I try so hard. I'm not seeing any. And then literally like, fast forward to the week prior. I'm like, I feel so good. I feel so happy. I feel so aligned. I feel very empowered. And then all it takes is a few days off the, off the train. But then we'll get back on. Oh, yeah. I'm happy we are synced more because I don't like when we're off because then when you're really happy, I'm sad and then vice versa. I know. It's hard. It's hard. But you know, you've done good. I feel like you've been complaining about it. Your period lately. Good job. Because I've had many other things to complain about. I can't remember in recent, like in the last month or two. Any complaints? It's because it only comes once a month. True. Like in the last three weeks, I haven't heard you peep. Oh, don't worry. You'll know. Speaking of self-sabotage, actually just being bold is me wearing this all all white outfit on day two of my period.

That is very bold.

Oh, yeah.
