  Sita's journey

  Mar 23, 20261h 19mS0

  <p>In this episode, Sita reflects on her journey growing up and navigating the transition into womanhood. Raised in an early environment that felt open and free, things later shifted, leaving little space for conversation or guidance around the body and sexuality.</p> <p>While her spiritual upbringing brought a strong sense of sacredness, honour, and respect for the body, it also created a tension between reverence and repression, and a longing for freedom and self-expression.</p> <p>Together, we explore how these experiences shaped her path, and what it might look like for young women to find balance, where...

  Daisy

  <p>In this episode of Journey to Womanhood, Daisy shares a positive story of growing up with trust, openness, and body confidence. Raised in a shame-free home where menstruation, sexuality, and nakedness were spoken about naturally, Daisy experienced early foundations of love, freedom, and self-acceptance.

  Sian's journey

  Dec 14, 202549 minS0

  <p>In this episode, I speak with Sian, who shares her experience of growing up without any preparation or conversation around her menstrual cycle. There was no guidance, no explanation, and no sense of celebration, only silence. For a young girl, this meant confusion, fear, and learning to hide something natural.</p> <p>Although Sian comes from a Ghanaian family, where a girl’s first bleed is traditionally honoured as a rite of passage, this cultural acknowledgement was absent. Instead, menstruation became something unspoken,  a silence passed through generations of women, carrying shame rather than reverence.</p> <p>Raised as a y...
