Welcome to It's Not JUST A Period!

In this week’s episode, Alexandra is joined by Race Across The World’s Betty Mukherjee, who won viewers' hearts with her vulnerability and humour as she travelled with her brother, James.

On the show, Betty revealed how being diagnosed with the rare condition MRKH syndrome at just 16 years old completely altered the course of her life. In this conversation, she opens up about receiving such life-changing news at a young age, the emotional toll of the condition, and how having one kidney and no uterus shattered her confidence and sense of identity.

Alexandra and Betty explore the challenges of diagnosis, the emotional journey of acceptance, and how these conditions shape identity and social interactions. Betty shares her personal experiences, emphasising the importance of community, understanding, and open conversations in navigating these complex issues.

The discussion also touches on societal pressures surrounding motherhood, cultural expectations, and the power of vulnerability in healing. Betty reflects on her own journey, the support she has received, and her aspirations for the future.

Join them for this powerful discussion about resilience, self-acceptance, and the importance of open conversations.
