I'm a yoga teacher and mother and I am passionate about working with women. I've been running womens circles for the past year and the idea for the podcast is to take that same energy to an online platform. By listening to women share their stories it allows us to feel more connected to each other. To know that you are not alone in your experiences and that everything you're feeling is normal. I've been chatting to lots of different women (and men!) sharing about everything from mental illness, depression, body issues and eating disorders to sex, yoga, nutrition, parenting and astrology. Nothing is off limits - because everything is weaved into the experience of womanhood. I hope you enjoy! Get in touch : Email - thisiswomanhood@gmail.com Instagram - @thisiswomanhood @gina_torres
