0:00.0	Hello, guilty feminists. I want to talk about something that half the population experiences and the other half should probably understand better.
0:07.1	Gynecological health, because so many of us grew up with patchy information, some pretty weird myths, and general feeling that we should probably just not talk about it.
0:17.0	That's why I'm delighted to tell you about bloody powerful, the taboo-busting guide to periods,
0:22.8	menopause and everything in between by Dr. Brooke van de Molen, illustrated by Hazel Mead,

1:10.2	And you can get 20% off with the code Bloody Powerful 20 at checkout.

1:24.7	Big freezer.
1:26.5	Oh, it's... Stop.
1:30.0	It's five of peas.
1:32.9	Some things are really best not to put off.
1:35.4	Mike, defrosting the freezer.
