The Power of the Period | Lucy Peach | TEDxBunbury

We are taught to manage our periods and cultured to perceive fluidity as a weakness. Is it then any wonder that menstruators can feel frustrated, overwhelmed or inadequate? In an era where we dedicate whole industries to finding balance and direction, 'Period Preacher' Lucy Peach thinks it’s time we had the ‘Talk’. Your menstrual cycle IS your balance and direction. Through science, songs and stories, learn how to transform your period from a curse into a blessing. This is the true-life reflection of how Lucy Peach’s sex ed lessons with high school students evolved from “this goes up there, now good luck and have a nice life", into 'My Greatest Period Ever’. She found inspiration in her own menstrual cycle to find a new way of life, unlock and amplify her creativity and produce an award-winning sophomore album. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

If you have something negative to say about this,try listening it during your periods,see if u still think it is not serious

[@paigevalentinemusic]

So brilliant Lucy, 🤍

[@Maria-ju3rk]

Love this, Lucy!!!

[@downtownCocoluccia]

I feel sorry for all the negative people here. The relation of hormones and your mood is a scientific fact. Nothing else is this woman here describing just in the "forbidden" area of the menstruation. It shows once again how prejudices and stigmata are holding people back from being open.

[@jaxswanmusic]

I'm just so shocked at the bad comments, what's wrong with some people? I don't know and really I'm giving too many fucks to it hahhaha.

[@madisontipton4919]
