It started with a package of cotton drawers in the Health and Beauty aisle at ShopRite.

Not exactly where you expect a revelation to happen. But here we are.

In this episode, Lisa Armstrong traces the full arc of a woman's body through the one thing we never talk about honestly. What we wear underneath. From diapers to cotton to silk to lace to G-strings that had absolutely no business being anywhere near us, and back again to cotton. Each decade a different answer to the same question we forgot to ask ourselves: what actually feels good to me?

Woven through it all is her aunt, who is transitioning. Whose body is being tended to now the same way it was at the very beginning. And what that circle teaches Lisa about her own body, her own comfort, and the long journey of coming home to herself.

This episode is funny. It is tender. It is the one you will want to send to every woman you love.
