#23 IWD special - Fundraising for female empowerment and promoting menstrual wellness with crewmember Tayla Smith

For our second International Women's Day special episode we are joined by Second Stewardess Tayla Smith – Last year Tayla took part in the Serengeti Girls Run, a three-day 63 KM run taking place across Tanzania Serengeti Plains, with the goal of raising money for female empowerment programmes in the Grumeti region. We talk to Tayla about her reasons for running this gruelling race and about her work promoting menstrual wellness. Tayla really opens herself up in this chat, sharing her own experiences and explaining how those experiences led her to want to help other women learn how to listen to their bodies and to understand the impact our lifestyle choices can have on our menstrual cycle. Trigger warning - please be aware that we will be discussing eating disorders in this episode. If there are any subjects in particular you would like us to cover in the podcast, please get in touch - [email protected].
