Hosted by Charlotte, The Period Rebel

Most men want to help. Nobody ever showed us how.

THE INTENTION

This workshop is about becoming a more understanding, supportive partner. Not a lecture and not a biology lesson. Just the knowledge most of us were never taught, explained simply, so you can show up for her with confidence. Better understanding at home means happier homes, and happier people at work too.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

Six things you’ll leave knowing.

01

Body clocks: his and hers

You both run on a daily clock. Hers has a monthly one on top. See how they compare, and why it matters.

02

Understanding the cycle

The main hormones and the four phases in plain English, plus the signs worth a GP chat.

03

The four seasons

An easy way to remember how her energy, mood and needs can shift through the month.

04

What it means in practice

Swap the phrases that land badly for ones that help, and how to track her cycle together, if she wants to.

05

Your feelings count too

Picking your moment for the big chats, and looking after yourself as well as her.

06

The bigger picture

Periods at work, period poverty, and small things you could do beyond your front door.

YOUR WORKBOOK

Take it home. Use it all year.

Every place includes a 16-page workbook to keep: a warm-up quiz, the hormone basics, the four seasons, phrases that help, a one-cycle tracker and trusted places to read more.

FAQS

Will it be awkward?

It’s designed not to be. The ground rules: no question too awkward, what’s shared in the room stays in the room, and laugh with her, never at her.

Who is it for?

Men and partners who want to understand and support the women in their lives better. No experience needed.

Can I buy it as a gift?

Yes. Book a place and pass it on. Tickets are transferable, so it makes a thoughtful Christmas present.

The two-hour workshop with Charlotte, your take-home workbook, and the Lads’ Lunch: a Pieminister pie with mash, gravy, optional minty mushy peas and a chocolate brownie.

Can I buy it as a gift?

Yes. Choose a posted gift card (order by Monday 14 December for Christmas) or a printable email gift card. Nearer the time we’ll email him to pick his pie and mash. Gift places come from the same 20 places, so don’t leave it too late. See gifting.
