Have you ever struggled to explain to the men and non-menstruators around you what you need in your menstrual month? Or why you might seem to be an entirely different personality week on week?
My friend Alyx Coble-Frakes did, and her experiences of frustration have resulted in what is to my knowledge, the first book about periods specifically written for cis-men.
Alyx Coble-Frakes is a passionate social entrepreneur. She has 10 years of experience in business and 8 years of experience working in health and wellness. When she returned from the Peace Corps in 2015, she felt out of touch with her own health, so she began a path of healing. This led her to launch a health coaching company and, subsequently, the app The Agenda Period . She has recently authored a book called “Manstruation” which is opening up conversations around periods with men.
We chatted about:

What non-menstruators need to know about periods
How they can support the people around them (and not just when they are menstruating!)
How Alyx wrote her new book in just 6 weeks
How Alyx discovered the power of cycle syncing
The problem and lack of safety with most period tracking apps
The surprising power of celebrating your first period in retrospect
How Alyx shifted away from perfectionism to self-compassion
And much more!
