I like to talk.

I like to talk.

A woman laughing and holding a white mug, sitting indoors with a yellow and pink decor, abstract artwork on the wall, green plants in the background.

I have a lot of thoughts, a lot of feelings, a lot of opinions, and a lot of stories to share.

About life, health, herbalism, menstruation, naturopathy, spirituality, the seasons, mental health, psychology, alternative medicine, the Earth, hormones, ovulation, emotions, wholism, vitalism… and beyond.

So… I have a LOT to say. Wanna listen?

Welcome to Oh My Menses: A digital space dedicated to all things menstruality, periods, hormones + cycle-informed living. Join me, Karinda (BHSc Naturopath, Fertility Educator + Owner of Karinda Wholistix), as we explore topics that we probably don't hear about enough in each episode. From stories of menarche, birth control, and common period problems to menstrual shame, sex, fertility and the moon - if it's about the human female experience, I probably talk about it. This is a place of sharing, remembering, learning; unlearning; where we come together and reclaim our cyclical power.

The Nuanced Naturopaths Podcast is a friendly conversation between two friends, Karinda and Julie. We’re passionate about finding the nuance in natural health, wellness & healing. As degree-qualified naturopaths, we like to ask the questions that need to be asked, especially when the healthcare world is rampant with dogma, crap advice, fad diets & confusing info. We delight in questioning firmly held beliefs and finding the nuance in all subjects, health-related and beyond. Sometimes it can get a little technical, but hopefully, we explain things in a way that is accessible to anyone interested in natural health, whether you’re a practitioner or someone simply who wants to learn more about and optimise your well-being. It’s a chat about poop, periods and everything in between. So buckle up for a laugh, a cry, and prepare to leave with some myths-busted and your mind blown!
