Another Bloody Podcast

Tahlia's journey finding purpose after prison

In this episode of Another Bloody Podcast, Tahlia Isaac sits down with Share the Dignity founder, Rochelle and shares her powerful life story, from a childhood marked by silence and self-doubt, to addiction, and the series of events that led her into prison. With honesty and clarity, Tahlia reflects on how unaddressed trauma, shame, and a lack of support shaped her choices, and how the justice system too often misses opportunities for care and intervention. Tahlia also speaks to the realities of managing a period in watch houses and prison, the loss of autonomy behind bars, and how something as simple as access to period products is deeply tied to dignity and self-worth. Now a mother, advocate and founder of Project:herSELF, Tahlia’s story is one of accountability, growth, and the power of compassion to change lives.

The reality of fighting cancer while starting over

In this episode of Another Bloody Podcast, Rochelle sits down with Jaklyn, a single mum, breast cancer survivor and survivor of domestic violence. Jaklyn shares her journey from a happy childhood to the moment she had to flee to safety, driving through the night with her children in tow. Not long after, she faced an 18-month cancer battle while trying to hold everything together. During one of the hardest periods of her life, Jaklyn received an It’s in the Bag, something she could hold onto when everything felt overwhelming. The note inside helped her keep going, and a special item inside boosted her confidence as she completed chemo. This is an honest and deeply moving conversation about survival, dignity, and the power of being seen when life feels impossible.

She tried to leave 10 times, the last one saved her life.

In this episode of Another Bloody Podcast, Rochelle sits down with Gemma, a proud Aboriginal mum of three and survivor of years of domestic violence. After her tenth and final attempt to leave, Gemma arrived at a refuge and found an It’s in the Bag waiting on the bed, an act of kindness that gave her hope in her darkest moment. Gemma shares her story of fleeing danger, rebuilding her life from the ground up, studying social work, and now working for a community organisation built on the belief of mob working for mob. Today, she helps others find safety, dignity and belonging, and even gets to hand out It’s in the Bag donations to women walking the path she once did. This is a conversation about survival, healing, cultural strength, and how one bag can change a life (and a community).
