Peried and their mission to empower you to take charge of your menstrual health

In this episode, your host Sarah Comerford is joined by Angelina Das, co-founder of the social enterprise Peried, on a mission to normalise menstrual health conversations. We explore: * Why education around periods is still lacking. * The difference between common vs. normal symptoms. * Red flags you shouldn’t ignore—like fainting, severe pain, or sudden changes in skin and hair. * How to find the right support and information for your personal journey. * The power of Peried’s storytelling workshops, helping people share and own their experiences. By starting the conversation, Ange and her co-founder at Peried are challenging the normalisation of “not normal” symptoms and empowering people to advocate for themselves.

This one’s personal. In today’s episode, I sit down with my twin sister Claire, the ultimate busy girl who, at just 26, survived a life-threatening car accident and over 5 surgeries. She's a walking miracle, and honestly, one of the biggest reasons I started this podcast. ⚠️ Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of trauma and recovery following a serious accident. We chat about what recovery really looks like: the tough days, the overwhelm, and the little things that actually help like mindfulness, strength training, scheduling your “worry time” (yep, literally putting it in the calendar), and even wearing lip balm in a hospital bed. Claire shares the mindset shifts and practical tools that have helped her take back control, stay grounded, and keep showing up even when life feels anything but easy.
