Some organizations working to end period poverty:

Dignity Grows - a national provider of free comprehensive hygiene essentials paired with period products and distributed in a discreet fashion.

Lowcountry Period Project - a South Carolina-based org provides period products, education, and advocates for menstrual equity, working to end the luxury tax on menstrual hygiene products.

Period - distributes free menstrual products to communities in need and advocates for systematic change through policy and legislation.

Check out the National Network of Abortion Funds to support local, independent, abortion funds across the U.S.. You can find a list of funds roughly ordered by how dire the situation in their respective states is, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights’ “What If Roe Fell?” report here.

Are you looking to strike a balance between traditional “success” and personal fulfillment? Are you looking to take a break from work but not sure how long is too long? Are you looking to ‘test’ a new career while not giving up your current job? This episode is for you!
