Season 1- Episode 8- Periods

The Prosecco Sessions

Welcome back to the Prosecco Sessions, a weekly podcast discussing a host of topics over a glass of fizz or two!

This week we have an honest conversation about a topic that is still considered by many to be a social taboo even though it can impact the everyday lives of almost half of population from our teens all the way through to middle age.

That’s right – today we’re talking about Periods!

• Is there such a thing as a ‘normal’ period?

• Why are they still often seen as something to be embarrassed/ashamed of?

• Period poverty

• The tampon tax

• How they impact upon our relationships, careers and health
