Rochelle Courtenay – Share the Dignity Australia – Guest on the Tiberius Show

In this episode of The Tiberius Show, Tiberius sits down with Rochelle Courtenay — founder of Share the Dignity, advocate for menstrual equity, and a true champion for human dignity. What started with one woman collecting period products in Australia has grown into a nationwide movement that has helped millions of people access basic hygiene products and restore dignity to those experiencing hardship.

Rochelle shares how reading a single article in 2015 changed her life forever and inspired her to create one of Australia’s most impactful charities.
