Hey lovely listeners!
Today on the podcast, Laura is “interviewing” me about the basics of feminism. In university, I minored in Women’s Studies, so this is a topic I find both important and interesting. I was so excited to share my thoughts about it with Laura. As always, you can listen to the episode right here or subscribe to the show on iTunes.?

We realize that this topic falls a little outside of our usual domain of health, wellness and eco-friendliness, but we think it’s a very important subject. And of course, feminism is very often concerned with the health and wellness?of women and other groups of disadvantaged people, so to us it makes a lot of sense to talk about and learn more about these issues.
If you’re interested in learning more about feminism beyond listening to our little podcast, there are a lot of really great resources out there that explain feminist issues and ideas in a really approachable, easy-to-understand way.
