In this episode of Another Bloody Podcast, Tahlia Isaac sits down with Share the Dignity founder, Rochelle and shares her powerful life story, from a childhood marked by silence and self-doubt, to addiction, and the series of events that led her into prison. With honesty and clarity, Tahlia reflects on how unaddressed trauma, shame, and a lack of support shaped her choices, and how the justice system too often misses opportunities for care and intervention.

Tahlia also speaks to the realities of managing a period in watch houses and prison, the loss of autonomy behind bars, and how something as simple as access to period products is deeply tied to dignity and self-worth. Now a mother, advocate and founder of Project:herSELF, Tahlia’s story is one of accountability, growth, and the power of compassion to change lives.

Another Bloody Podcast is hosted by Share the Dignity founder Rochelle Courtenay aka 'Pad Lady'.
