🎙️ Periods, Power & Plastic-Free Solutions: Redefining Menstrual Health with Amy Orr

In this empowering episode of The F.E.E.L Podcast, we welcome back the passionate and fearless Amy Orr — founder of Youme, a groundbreaking sustainable menstrual health brand. Known for her previous appearance on “Getting Real About Periods,” Amy continues to challenge taboos and create impactful change in how we discuss, experience, and support menstrual and sexual health.

Amy shares how frustration over the lack of eco-friendly period products sparked the creation of Youme, which now provides reusable period underwear, menstrual cups, and education in schools. We dive into how she’s building communities, breaking silence around reproductive health, and empowering people — especially young girls — to live unapologetically.

This conversation is raw, honest, and life-changing. Together we explore:

• Why rage and curiosity are powerful tools in advocacy

• How to start conversations around periods and sexual health

• The real impact of sustainable period products

• Why period shame still exists—and how to smash it

• Creating access and equity in menstrual care

This episode is for anyone who has felt shame about their body or been made to feel like their experiences are “TMI.” Amy reminds us that nothing about your body is taboo. Listen in and learn how to reclaim the conversation.

Ways to Engage: If questions come up about your period or sexual health, write them down. Take them to the doctor’s office and ask, or ask if your friends have any experience with your questions. It shouldn’t be taboo to talk about normal functions of the female body, and you’re not alone in your situation, though it may feel like you are.
