We all know periods can be complicated ever changing and often misunderstood. I mean why doesn't anyone ever actually tell you how to first use a tampon properly or that getting an RUD would hurt this much?

I know that's why Libra is on a mission to bridge the gap between what you're told and what you actually experience.

Did you know 75% of girls start their first period with negative emotions?

And 59% of women wish they'd been taught more about periods throughout their lives.

Libra is here to help you navigate your menstrual journey with confidence and care from your first period to your last.

If you've ever felt dismissed with it's just a period and I'm sure we've all heard that before, Libra says it is never just a period. It is so much more.

positivity and stuff and that is so valid but I don't think that you can have that without social conscience. I don't think you can

live a good life either. Hello and welcome to our fifth in conversation episode of Shameless

the Pop Culture podcast for Smart Women. Today we're joined by the

incomparable Annie Nolan.

Annie knows there might be a whole range of reasons why you follow her on

Instagram. It could be because of her activism.

It could be because her children have rainbow hair.

It could be because you children have rainbow hair. It could be because you like her blog

posts or it could be because her husband Liam plays AFL. Annie is a writer, she's a mom of three,

and a woman who spends much of her free time trying to make the world an ever so slightly kinder more compassionate place.

We sat down with her in her Melbourne home to talk about the difficulty of being honest online, about the strength it takes

saying what you think and how she's nowhere near as confident as people might think.

Here's Annie. is so lovely I'm lovely I don't know why we're really not because everybody

asked us to ask you and we love you too you're so lovely I actually came across
