Amy's story is one of strength and survival. From suspected poisonings to not being able to shower alone, it took a lot of courage for Amy to leave the domestic violence relationship and start anew. After fleeing, Amy and her daughter received an It's in the Bag each for Christmas that restored their faith in humanity. Here all about Amy's inspiring journey in this episode of Another Bloody Podcast with Share the Dignity founder Rochelle.

A story of survival, how It’s in the Bag helped Amy rebuild

Moments That Matter - Kylie King on Period Shame

In this episode of Another Bloody Podcast, Share the Dignity Founder, Rochelle Courtenay, sits down with Rose-maree, a proud First Nations woman and It’s in the Bag recipient whose story is a powerful reminder of what dignity can mean when you’re experiencing homelessness.
In her late 60s, Rose-maree found herself sleeping in her car, couch surfing and staying in unsafe accommodation, never knowing where she would sleep next. During this uncertain time, she connected with a community organisation where she was given an It’s in the Bag filled with everyday essentials.


For Rose-maree, the bag provided more than shampoo, toothpaste and a toothbrush. It gave her comfort, helped her feel cared for, and reminded her that she hadn’t been forgotten.
The handwritten note from a seven-year-old girl was particularly meaningful, staying with Rose-maree through some of her lowest days and reminding her of the kindness of strangers.
Rose-maree’s story takes us from homelessness to finding community, dignity and eventually a safe place to call home.


Join us for this month’s episode of Another Bloody Podcast to hear Rose-maree share her story of resilience, kindness and hope, and discover how one bag can mean so much more than the essentials inside it.

 When dignity comes in a bag - Rose-maree’s story from homelessness to hope

In this episode of Another Bloody Podcast, Share the Dignity Founder, Rochelle Courtenay, sits down with Rhiannon, an It’s in the Bag recipient whose story is a powerful reminder of the impact a single donation can have.

As someone who has spent her career in the mental health and social work space, she's helped people navigate some of life's most difficult moments. But when she found herself facing financial hardship, domestic violence, and struggling to provide for her two young children, asking for help felt incredibly difficult.

When colleagues encouraged her to accept an It's in the Bag donation, Rhiannon was reluctant. But the bag quickly became more than a collection of essentials. Having access to period products she could rely on, along with quality personal care items, eased a burden she had been carrying for months and helped her feel more confident day to day.

Join us for this month’s episode of Another Bloody Podcast where Rhiannon shares her story, to help break down the stigma around seeking support and shine a light on the dignity, care and hope that a single donation can provide.
