In this episode, Isabella talks with Bethany Noble, Founder and Chief Executive Ovulator at The Periodical! Beth has had over 250 periods, used over 3,000 tampons and enjoys netflix binges, candle lit hot water bottle sessions and vegan chocolate while she periods. She understands what it’s like to be caught without a tampon and realised that since everything else can be delivered to your door, why can’t a period care package subscription be included, for what is the most natural ‘subscription’ of all! Beth is passionate about environmentally friendly products and working with organic materials to ensure the products that are in direct contact with our skin isn’t doing us any harm.

In this episode we talk more on what led Beth to start The Periodical, her recent endometriosis diagnosis, why she thinks we don’t talk on periods and lack education around them, and what she would like to see change in the health world to improve our gynaecological health, plus so much more!

HAPPY HAPPY WEDNESDAY! We're so glad to have you here for another ep of Let's Talk, Period!

In this episode, Isabella chats with Brisbane babe Freeda Thong, founder and director of the social enterprise, Ecopads Australia. Having suffered painful periods, dysregulated hormones, amidst having on average three to five periods a year, she only just received a diagnosis of PCOS, after 17 years of thinking she and her body were weird. Freeda is passionate about women’s health, global equality and communication, evidenced by her actively working as a speech pathologist too!

Wanting to put an end to the landfill of disposable sanitary items, provide opportunities to employ and empower women, and break the stigma of menstruation and periods, Ecopads Australia was born. For every ecopad purchase you are sending one to a girl or woman in need overseas. The motivation and drive behind Freeda, working in two roles and doing so much good, just shines through this chat. We talk more about the why behind Ecopads Australia and the impact Freeda has been able to create, we also talk more about Freeda’s long journey to be diagnosed with PCOS, why she is so passionate about educating people and smashing period stigmas, what she would tell her younger self and how important it is to get educated about your period and your body.

Dani is based on the Gold Coast, with her husband and dog Max, having recently announced that they’re expecting! This comes after years of experiencing excruciating pain, describing feeling like a zombie, curled up, lying in the shower, with at least eight out of ten pain at least once a month. Dani is so open and honest in this chat, and is so raw in detailing her struggles and the decisions and choices she’s had to make, from feeling like she needed to justify herself and have people believe her, and her pain, to going into a doctors appointment, ready to have a hysterectomy, to try and get some relief from the pain. Until last year, when Dani was diagnosed with endometriosis. In this episode we talk more about the long road Dani has been down to find answers to her pain, why she’s so passionate about sharing her health and wellness triumphs and struggles with her following, as well as touching on her experience with breast implant illness, as well as her tips for returning to exercise post lap and what’s coming up next for her.

Happy Wednesday you gorgeous souls! We hope that you're having an amazing week and this episode can give you a little mood booster, if you're not!

In this episode, Isabella chats with Khalehla Ireland, founder of Real Women Talk. Khalehla has been battling with PCOS, or Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, and the nasty symptoms for years, with the last 12 months being the worst. She felt isolated and left with little information about the illness and why she was feeling the way she was, and according to modern medicine it was ‘normal’.. Khalehla decided that it wasn’t good enough to feel this way, and she was the only one who could change that. She began searching that although modern medicine was helpful, there were also other alternative options available to assist in managing her condition.

In 2019, she launched Real Women talk to have an open space, where women could come together and gain knowledge, as well as for Khalehla to share the positive changes she was making and to hold herself accountable. In this episode we talk more about Khalehla’s journey with PCOS, what she includes in her toolkit and her morning routine, we also hear about the education she received around periods, and why she feels more needs to be done to improve the education of young women. We also hear about the journey behind Real Women Talk, the impact it has had in the community and what's coming up next for Khalehla!

We're back from our little hiatus last week and hope you're ready for another episode of Let's Talk, Period. We hope this episode can bring some light to your day, and keep you company, given how intense everything feels right now!

In this episode, Isabella talks with Sophie Stewart, founder of Got You Girl. After 14 years of working in the retail sector Sophie began to reassess where she was heading in life. She knew she needed to make a change but had no idea what. That lightbulb moment came in May 2019 when Sophie attended a ‘Business Chicks’ conference in Sydney and heard Ita Buttrose speak. Inspired, Sophie knew she had to create something to help start conversations and provide girls the tools they need to thrive, cue Got You Girl. We talk about the journey of Got You Girl, Sophie’s morning routine and her views on periods and why we don’t speak about them, or other women’s health issues. Sophie also shares what’s coming up next for Got You Girl and the power of sharing your story.
