Dignity is one of those things we rarely notice until it begins to disappear.
Most of us move through life without thinking about the everyday things that allow us to participate, belong, and feel seen. Yet for many people, dignity can be quietly eroded long before anyone notices they are struggling. Sometimes it isn't the absence of kindness that hurts most. It's the feeling of becoming invisible.
In this conversation, Andrea Putting sits down with Rochelle Courtenay, founder of Share the Dignity, to explore what happens when ordinary acts of care become extraordinary. Their conversation moves beyond period poverty into something more universal: the human need to be recognised, the quiet cost of looking away, and the way compassion often begins with simply stopping long enough to listen.
