Periods, power, and smashing taboos — Katie Cosgrave, co-founder of the non-profit The Crimson Wave, is on a mission to make period products free and period education honest, inclusive, and empowering. Based in Greater Manchester, The Crimson Wave is challenging the stigma around menstruation, menopause, and women's health (inclusively defined), while creating ethically made merch that wears its message proudly.

In this important and refreshing conversation, Katie shares how she and her co-founder are tackling period poverty, health inequality, and the silence that still surrounds our bodies. With a focus on education that speaks to all genders, their work is as much about dismantling the patriarchy as it is about handing out tampons — and it’s making real change in communities across the UK.

From understanding your cycle and reclaiming your body, to building boundaries and raising confident teens, Katie’s insight is raw, real, and revolutionary. Expect laughs, truth bombs, and the kind of open conversation we all wish we’d had growing up.
