🎙️✨ Harmonia Podcast
You may not want to hear it… but we’re going to talk about it 👀
Harmonia Podcast is a platform dedicated to open, honest, and necessary conversations—designed to challenge stigma, break down barriers, and bring forward the topics many people avoid, misunderstand, or feel uncomfortable discussing.
Founded by Berta Kaguako, a Health and Social Care Consultant, mental health professional, and social entrepreneur, Harmonia sits at the intersection of clinical expertise, lived experience, and global health advocacy.
With a professional background spanning psychotherapy, mental health, substance misuse, children and families services, senior leadership, and clinical governance—including experience as a CQC Registered Manager within a medical cannabis clinic—Berta brings both depth and credibility to every conversation. Alongside this, her lived experience as a patient navigating complex health challenges provides a perspective that is both informed and deeply personal.
Harmonia was created to bridge the gap between professional knowledge and real-world experience—offering a space where both can coexist, inform one another, and drive meaningful change.
This is not a podcast for surface-level discussion.This is where difficult conversations are explored with honesty, clarity, and purpose!
Harmonia is more than a podcast—it’s a platform for truth, awareness, and transformation 💫
Because the conversations we avoid are often the ones we need the most.
💬✨ Now Introducing: Season 2 — From Our Hearts to Yours
Season 2 expands the conversation into an equally important and often overlooked area—women’s health 🌸
From Our Hearts to Yours is a continuation of Harmonia’s mission, focusing on menstrual health education, girls’ wellbeing, and global awareness. Inspired by My First Period, this season is dedicated to empowering girls and women through knowledge, open dialogue, and shared lived experiences.
Through short, impactful 15-minute episodes, Season 2 features the voices of 21 women—each sharing their personal period story and advocacy journey. These conversations aim to normalise experiences, challenge stigma, and create a more informed and supportive environment for girls worldwide.
This season explores:
✅ Puberty, body changes, and menstrual health education
✅ Period hygiene and understanding menstrual products
✅ Recognising when periods are not normal
✅ The emotional and mental health impact of menstruation
✅ Period poverty and access to care
✅ Cultural stigma and harmful narratives around menstruation
✅ Girls’ safety, autonomy, and protection
✅ The importance of educating both women and men
At its core, Season 2 carries a powerful message:
“Menstruation is not a marker of readiness—it is a biological process that must be understood, respected, and supported!”
