This week on Off The Posts: Scarletts Edition, Georgi and Zoe are having an open, honest, and much-needed conversation about periods, performance, and playing sport as women.

From grassroots netball to elite sport, the menstrual cycle impacts nearly every female athlete — yet it’s still something many people feel uncomfortable talking about. In this episode, Georgi and Zoe break down the stigma, share their own experiences, and explore why creating period-positive environments in sport is so important.

Together, they discuss:
✨ How the menstrual cycle can affect energy, mood, confidence, and performance
✨ Fatigue, cramps, pain, and the reality of playing through it
✨ The pressures teenage girls face navigating sport and unpredictable periods
✨ Why education and open conversations matter
✨ Practical support, products, and building confidence on court
✨ The mental health side of periods and performance
✨ How clubs, coaches, teammates, and parents can better support female athletes
✨ Why women’s sport needs to stop treating periods as taboo

Plus, Georgi shares insights from her work as a Body Confident Sport Coach, the pair discuss creating supportive grassroots environments, and Zoe takes on a very relatable Pass, Shoot, Stand Out of Play – Period Edition.

Because periods are not a weakness, not something to hide, and definitely not something that should stop girls and women from playing the game they love. 🫶
