In a recent article in The Irish Times, Sacha Dekker described an incident during which she was mocked by strangers in a restaurant who found her disability funny. Sacha tells Róisín why, even though she is a warrior who has overcome enormous obstacles in her life, she was hurt by this experience and how writing about it helped her get past it.

Róisín also talks to cosmetics guru, TV presenter and model Nadine Reid about the battle to end period poverty and how the supermarket Lidl is helping. They also talk about the medical bias she has encountered seeking fertility treatment, as someone with a BMI higher than 35, and why she’s loving life in the wilds of Donegal.
