What happens when you build a business centring purpose, people and the planet, over  profit? My inspiring guest this week is Emma Anastasi, the founder of Intheflow, a social enterprise on a mission to change gender-biased discourse around periods, save the planet from excess plastic, and tackle period poverty.

Em reveals some of the shocking statistics around the damage traditional period products are doing to our planet. From the fact that a single use tampon takes between 500/1,000 years to break down, to the stats that show the average menstruating person will use around 15,000  single use products in their lifetime. 

 Intheflow aims to  champion the use of other products like menstruating cups and period pants that are reusable for many months and even years.  

We chat about the challenges of pivoting between businesses and career industries, and not conforming to other people's expectations of your career path. 

Join us as we not only discuss the pressing issues surrounding menstruation and sustainability but also pay homage to the power of passion, purpose, and the people who propel us forward in our mission to make a difference.
