## Resource

In this episode of the GSBC Podcast, Matt sits down with Megan Alpe the founder of Her Alliance, a women's counselling practice, and the Packed with Care Foundation, a registered charity supporting women and children in the community. Megan shares the deeply personal motivations behind both organisations, from her frustration with a health system that treats women as a collection of symptoms rather than whole people, to a moment early in her nursing career that sparked the idea for Packed with Care. We also hear about the foundation's next chapter, including a resource library, community workshops, and an online directory opening to local businesses and groups.
