Description

In this episode, host Nadia Rossi is joined by Rochelle Courtney, founder of Share the Dignity, a national charity with the mission to ensure that no woman, girl or person who menstruates has to choose between food and period products.

Rochelle talks about the reality of period poverty and how we can better educate our children with the right language about periods to eliminate shame and stigma while supporting their mental health and wellbeing.
