  Episode #12

  Episode 11 - Arleigh Cole-Doyle

  Sep 21, 202630 minS1

  In this episode, Ayushmaan and Mikah host Arleigh Cole-Doyle, founder of the organization Misendostood, which seeks to guide women with endometriosis through the healthcare system and how they can manage their condition. The conversation focuses on the lack of awareness and fast, easy care for those who suffer from the condition; all three agree on a need for better youth education, as well as increased funding to actually research the disease. Arleigh specifically highlights her experience in policy advocacy at the Connecticut state legislature, and the massive potential for change.

  Episode 11 - Anne Chang

  Sep 7, 202624 min

  In this episode, Ayushmaan and Mikah sit down with Anne Chang, a medical science graduate, certified doula, and founder of Spill Her Tea, an organization dedicated to making women's health education more accessible. Their conversation traces Anne's decade-long journey with irregular periods before a PMOS diagnosis she only found through social media, the gap between what health curricula teach and what people who menstruate actually need to know, and what drove her to build something about it. Along the way, they discuss what a more honest cultural conversation around reproductive health could look like, and what it means to approach advocacy from both a scientific background and lived experience.

  Episode 10 - Elise Tao

  Jul 7, 202655 minS1

  In this episode, Ayushmaan and Mikah welcome back MĚI founder and CEO Elise Tao for a candid check-in on everything from the state of the organization to the state of the movement. They cover MEI's latest updates across divisions, the growing, but complicated, cultural conversation around menstrual health in America, the rise of anti-feminist backlash among Gen Z men and what it means for advocacy, and why period tracker privacy has become a frontline equity issue. Elise also reflects on what still feels unfinished, what she's genuinely excited about, and what she's looking forward to, both inside MEI and beyond.

  Episode 9 - Aishani Pandey

  Jun 23, 202635 minS1

  In this episode, Mikah interviews MĚI's own Aishani Pandey, a high school athlete and student advocate living with suspected endometriosis. Their conversation traces Aishani's years-long journey from her first dismissed symptoms at age ten - through irregular cycles, near-anemia, a rejected IUD, and passing out mid-exam - to finally receiving a suspected diagnosis and awaiting laparoscopic surgery. Along the way, they discuss the systemic failures that delayed her care, what it looks like to self-advocate as a teenager navigating both chronic pain and school attendance policies, and why menstrual health in educational institutions can never be one-size-fits-all.
