Talking Taboos With Daye

Health & Wellness Podcasts

Talking Taboos with Daye is a new podcast series focused on busting myths and opening up frank discussions on topics typically deemed taboo. At Daye, we are on a mission to close the gender pain gap and create innovative solutions to women’s healthcare needs. As we create the sorts of products we think women should have had access to a long time ago - like our CBD-infused tampons which are the world’s first and only targeted solution for cramps - we find ourselves talking constantly about taboo topics. From periods to contraception to issues around orgasm, no issue is off bounds to us when it comes to discussing women’s health and well-being. Yet we are all too aware of the shame and stigma that still surrounds so many of these topics. It’s something we’re determined to change. If you can’t talk about an issue openly, how are you meant to tackle the problems that surround it? So, we thought it was about time we started a podcast - somewhere we can explore, unpack and upturn all of the issues around which we feel a little more honest conversation is needed. The series is presented by journalist Emma-Louise Boynton, aka the co-founder of women’s media platform Her Hustle, and will delve into topics ranging from addiction to eating disorders to abortion. On each episode, we'll interview someone who has personally experienced that week’s taboo topic, before turning to an expert in the field who can shed some professional insight on the issue at hand. Enjoy the show.
