About This Episode

What if your period isn’t the problem… but the way we’ve been taught to manage it is?

In this powerful episode of The Attitude of Gratitude, host Sadhna Rishi sits down with Nadine, co-founder of Div.Ame, to explore a completely new perspective on menstrual health, sustainability, and women’s well-being.
This conversation goes beyond awareness — it challenges long-held beliefs around periods, PCOS, and menopause, while introducing innovative solutions that combine fashion, nutrition, and holistic care.
Nadine shares her personal journey of dealing with painful, irregular cycles — and how it led her to build a brand focused on comfort, confidence, and conscious living.
From leakproof period wear to nutrition-based healing, this episode opens up a conversation that many still hesitate to have.
She opens up about:

  • Why traditional menstrual products may be harming more than helping
  • How sustainability and health are deeply connected
  • The importance of normalizing conversations around women’s health
