- Self-Improvement
This week, we are talking to Alison Matthews from @IzzyWizzyRoo - a small business making big waves in the world of reusable period products. Alison and I will be talking about the experiences we have had as people who menstruate and the wider societal issues that surround periods.
All people who menstruate deserve the right to understand their own bodies and make informed choices about what happens to them.
In the episode we discuss:
- The scale of the environmental problem with disposable products (7:45)
- The impact disposable pads have on our bodies (8:55)
- Period shame and taboo topics (11:01)
- Gender inclusivity and periods - it's not just a "woman thing" (17:40)
- Knowing what is "normal" in your cycle (23:40)
- Retaining control of our reproductive health decisions (28:56)
- How to make the switch to reusable period products (31:58)
- How cycle tracking can support your energy levels (35:15)
