We're back! Welcome to Season 2 of the Very Breast Podcast Ever!

We missed you, Breasties, and we hope you missed us too! We're taking a crack at a new format as Nadia regales Alissa with the history of breast support. This episode we take a trip back in history all the way back to the Ancient Greeks and land in the feminist bra burnings (bra trashings?) of 1968.

We made it to episode 10, Breasties! In our season finale, Nadia tells all about the beautiful process of breastfeeding and has a conversation with lactation counselor, growing family consultant and postpartum Doula, the lovely April Kerwood. April reminds us all to listen before we speak, and to appreciate all the incredible things our beautiful bodies can do!

In the last episode of our Breast Cancer series, Nadia tells us all about those pesky risky genes we need to watch out for, and chats with friend of the show, Chloe Koslen, a Previvor who had to make an unbelievably difficult choice at a young age.

Nadia speaks with lingerie designer Adrina Graham about overcoming obstacles to help women live their 'breast' lives. Adrina has faced many challenges in her life from homelessness to domestic abuse, and she has risen from the ashes of those struggles to give her two children a life that she never had. Her brand, Adrina Dietra, is a luxury lingerie brand striving to offer quality garments and accessories in both a ready to wear as well as a made-to-measure platform, small batch natural apothecary goods, and coordinating zero waste products. Adrina talks about her design aesthetic, her life experiences, and how she is using her business as a platform to give back to the community.

CORRECTION: The “Be Perfectly Imperfect” Triangle bra and the “Praise Your Quirks” thong are not Adrina’s own design, but actually belong to the Underargument, one of the amazing brands Adrina has started carrying in her shop to keep up with demand.
