Moments That Matter – Oscar on Finding Himself

In this episode of Another Bloody Podcast, Share the Dignity Founder, Rochelle Courtenay, shares an exciting moment ten years in the making: unboxing an It’s in the Bag donation packed by Oprah Winfrey.


When Rochelle first put Oprah on her Share the Dignity vision board over a decade ago, she could only dream of what might be possible. Now, that dream has become a reality, with Oprah packing a bag for an Australian woman or girl, who she will never meet, this Christmas.
For Rochelle and Share the Dignity, this moment is about so much more than a famous name on a handbag. It’s about the message at the heart of It’s in the Bag: that every woman and girl deserves to feel seen, valued and cared for.


While Oprah’s bag is an incredible pinch-me moment, Rochelle is quick to remind us that it’s no more important than any other bag donated. Whether it’s packed by a global icon or someone filling a handbag with essentials at home, every bag carries the same message: you matter, you haven’t been forgotten, and someone cares.


As Rochelle opens Oprah’s bag, she reflects on the journey that brought Share the Dignity to this moment, the power of a vision that never left her, and the incredible community of people who make It’s in the Bag possible.


Join us for this special episode of Another Bloody Podcast to share in an emotional milestone for Rochelle and Share the Dignity, and remember that the real magic of It’s in the Bag has never been about who packs the bag, but the difference it makes to the person receiving it.

More than a bag - Oprah’s It’s in the Bag story

In this episode of Another Bloody Podcast, Share the Dignity Founder, Rochelle Courtenay, sits down with Lenna, a mum of three and It’s in the Bag recipient whose story is a powerful reminder that support can mean so much more than the essentials inside a bag.
Over the past few years, Lenna has navigated breast cancer, major surgery, medical menopause and chronic pain, all while continuing to care for her family. During one particularly difficult period, she was also caring for two of her nieces after her sister fled domestic violence, with five girls living under one roof.


Keeping everyone stocked with essential items while navigating her own health challenges became an immense challenge. When Lenna received an It’s in the Bag donation for herself and the girls, it helped take some of the pressure off and gave them something to call their own.
For Lenna, the bag was about more than period products, toiletries and little extras. It was a reminder that someone cared, at a time when she was carrying a lot herself.
Lenna also opens up about the realities of life after cancer treatment, navigating medical menopause without the usual treatment options, learning to accept help and finding strength in being vulnerable.


Join us for this month’s episode of Another Bloody Podcast to hear Lenna share her story of health, motherhood, resilience and the unexpected impact of being reminded that you are seen, cared for and not alone.
