In this week's episode, we are joined by the incredible Alyx Coble Frakes, founder of The Agenda. Alyx takes us on a journey of self-discovery as she reflects on the lack of education young women receive about their bodies. She share her eye-opening experience with a college project focused on sexual health, which ignited her passion for women's menstrual health. We delve into the four phases of the menstrual cycle and the unique characteristics and energy levels associated with each phase. Alyx sheds light on the abysmal state of education surrounding women's health and the pivotal role that personal understanding and empowerment play in reclaiming control over our bodies. She shares personal stories of advocating for her own health, navigating the healthcare system, and how it has shaped her mission to empower women. Join us as we delve into Alyx's journey and gain insights into the importance of understanding and honoring our menstrual cycles, breaking societal expectations, and finding empowerment within ourselves. Don't forget to stay tuned for Part Two, where we'll continue this invigorating discussion. About Alyx: Alyx Coble-Frakes is a passionate social entrepreneur.
