Periods, something so natural for our bodies as females are oftentimes considered taboo to talk about.
In this episode, we have Michele Wilson, co-founder of a sustainable and carbon-offset brand of period-proof underwear named Awwa. She\'s here with us to talk about her Maori roots and how she\\u2019s taken inspiration from their innovation and made it widely available to the world.
Periods don\\u2019t have to and shouldn\\u2019t contribute to pollution and plastic waste, especially not when it\'s an integral part of ourselves. Instead of using throw-aways and plastic inside you, please make the switch and contribute to our shared future now.
