THE MODERN HYSTERIA PODCAST

Revealing the taboos of women’s brains and bodies, so we can heal and live without shame

 
 

THE LATEST EPISODE:

 

Welcome to the women’s bathroom of the internet.

 
 
 

YOUR HOST: MICAH LARSEN

Even after I got my masters degree in public health communication I spent a decade feeling totally isolated in my experiences with chronic illness and mental health.

I thought I was “making it all up” or just needed to “toughen up.”

It wasn’t until I started hearing from other women about their brushes with reproductive and mental illness — PCOS, endometriosis, depression, anxiety, infertility — that I started to feel like I could truly heal.

Feeling seen and heard is the first step toward healing, especially when it comes to conditions that affect women, which tend to be:

  • underresearched

  • under-diagnosed

  • under-funded

  • under-treated
