11. Anastasia Shubareva-Epshtein on Redefining Maternal Care with Femtech Startup Carea
This week I’m joined by Anastasia Shubareva-Epshtein, Co-Founder and CEO of Carea, a femtech startup redefining pregnancy and postpartum care with a mental health first approach.
After graduating from Columbia University, Anastasia built a global career in product management and brand marketing with leadership roles at Bayer Consumer Health and Mastercard. But when she faced fertility struggles, IVF and miscarriage, her path took a deeply personal turn.
Determined to create the support she wished she’d had, Anastasia launched the Carea app: a safe, supportive space for women navigating the emotional complexities of pregnancy and beyond. Instead of focusing solely on clinical milestones, the app centres the wellbeing and mental health of the mother.

In our conversation, we explore:
✨ The cultural taboos surrounding pregnancy loss
✨ The tension between creativity, ambition and traditional maternal roles
✨ Why community and emotional support are so vital for mothers
✨ Building a femtech startup from lived experience
✨ Trusting that your business idea will come when the timing is right
About the Guest:
Anastasia Shubareva-Epshtein is Co-Founder and CEO of Carea, a femtech startup reimagining pregnancy and postpartum care with a focus on emotional wellbeing. Drawing on her personal journey into motherhood and her global career background, she is committed to creating compassionate, personalised tools to support women through every stage of their maternity journey.

About The Host:
I'm Victoria Phipps - a Mum of two, family photographer, charity co-founder, marketing person and now podcaster! 🎙️
I was raised by a nurturing Mother and an entrepreneurial Father and have inherited traits from both, so the tension between ambition and motherhood is one I grapple with on a daily basis!
I’m fascinated to hear the stories of other women on a similar path, who are striving to build thriving businesses whilst being present for their children. It's a tough juggle, but I hope the conversations shared on this podcast help Mums in business feel less alone and inspired to keep going in pursuit of their dreams.
Head to the Mum Means Business Podcast website for full show notes.
I would love to hear your thoughts on the topics discussed in this conversation, so please do let me know on Instagram where I'm @victoria_phipps or @mummeansbusinesspodcast.
