Welcome to the Women's Health 365 Collective!
Your she-shed for women's health on Substack
You've arrived at the Women's Health 365 Collective. Your place for education, connection, and promotion.
A new Substack for writers of women’s health publications1 on Substack and for readers who want to learn about women’s health.
Those who care about women’s health are a mighty force. I’m so glad we can band together and uplift each other through these confusing times.

Why 365?
365 is a powerful number in a woman’s life. It represents each day of the year and highlights our resilience as we move through the cycles of our lives.
It also represents the number of days a woman must remain period-free to reach menopause.
Finally, it embodies the journey of getting pregnant, nurturing life, delivering a baby, and the healing that follows in postpartum.
All can be completed in a year.
What’s a “She-Shed?”
A she-shed is a special place where a woman can go to be alone with her thoughts, spend time doing hobbies, and have a moment of peace. It’s the opposite of a man cave. It can be an actual backyard shed, a place in your home, a spot in nature, or a place meaningful to you.
Welcome to this Substack corner for all things women’s health and medicine! We’ll bring our knowledge and stories to life, sharing, supporting, and uplifting our work… collectively.
This Substack focuses on writers who write exclusively about women’s health conditions, diseases, issues, and the reproductive functions of our bodies.
Through topic-specific posts and taking advantage of the comments section, we’ll build a directory of our Substacks to make it easy for readers to find what they are looking for.
When my Substack friend,
who writes Go With The Flow: Women’s Cycle Awareness, called out Substack in a Note for not having a dedicated category for women’s health, my first thought was, “huh.”Then I thought, “What can I do to fill this glaring gap?”
Welcome to the Women’s Health 365 Collective, where Substackers who write exclusively about women’s health topics can:
promote their work by building our healthcare topic Directory
read women’s health articles
build trusting relationships for collaboration (Who wants to collaborate with a random person?? Collaborations need trust.)
support one another!
gain new subscribers (I’ll also be actively marketing this Substack on Notes and social media to attract those who love learning and reading about women’s health.)
All readers welcome! This will be your one place for all things women’s health on Substack.
I hope you’ll consider joining me! There are a lot of exciting opportunities ahead.
What we do matters, yet we don’t currently get the attention or space that we deserve. Let’s change that together.
Next Steps? Subscribe, and if you’re a Substack writer C’mon In and Get Involved! You can also check out what topics we’ll cover as we build the Directory.
I love a good footnote! This includes anyone with an actual publication or who uses the new Longform Note feature to publish exclusively about women’s health. If you’ve got something related to women’s health to promote on Substack, this is your place!
