In this episode I am joined by Ellie, a nurse, barrister and owner of Nickeze, period underwear and sportswear.

We cover:

• Why Ellie created Nickeze,
• Tips on how to help parents open up conversations about periods,
• Do's and Don'ts of what to say when your child gets their period,
• What's normal when starting periods and when Ellie would suggest to seek medical advice,
• Challenges for girls with additional needs/ disabilities when they get their period,
• How we can prepare our children for starting their period.

Ellie is a huge advocate when it comes to periods and notes we have to do better.
