Everything is the Best

Carine Carmy, like many women, was experiencing painful sex throughout her with absolutely no resolution or path to a solution. “Thats just the way it is” was the answer, and it wasn’t one she was comfortable with. After doing some research, she realized a staggering 1 in 6 women experience chronic painful sex, 1 in 3 adult women experience incontinence and 1 in 2 women going through menopause suffer from vaginal atrophy. So she launched Origin, physical therapy designer for women and mothers, available online and in person. We discuss her symptoms, why women NEED and deserve physical therapy, why preventative care is so important, and how her ads for the brand have sparked controversy. It’s a lot of me being shocked by facts that are frustrating, and being so thankful another female founder came up with a life changing solution.

I love following Amanda. I love fulfilling my guilty pleasure for celebrity gossip in a way that isn’t bashing, trashing or negative. She has this really charming way of being inquisitive, making really funny commentary and being so genuine - it’s as if you’re in her brain just kinda along for the thought process ride. I usually use this platform to provide helpful information, but the shit bitch me in me was so excited to just get to goss. We discuss our husbands, #kravis, how she became an online celebrity gossip sensation, the very famous humans who have blocked her, our internet friends, dealing with trolls and more.

There’s a lot of confusion around birth. All of my friends had very different experiences and very different opinions, so I found myself doing a lot of research. In the conversations I had with the people I trust, Elizabeth’s name kept coming up. I gave her a call and instantly felt a connection. I knew immediately this is who I wanted to walk me through this process, and although we decided to do a hospital birth, I knew I wanted to make it as close to a home birth as possible. In this episode we discuss the difference between a midwife and a doula, how past triggers can negatively effect your birth, feeling seen and heard, how to make an epidural empowering, why I absolutely could not have gone through this process with just my doctor, AND we answer some of your questions.

Brooke and I have had an internet friendship for a while now. I’ve always admired her job and what she does with Naked Beauty podcast, as well as her relationship with her husband and beautiful son. Now that I have entered into a new chapter of my life, I keep looking for mom’s who share my same work ethic and how they balance it all. Brooke has also had a fascinating career, so this is an episode that will surely prove to be helpful for anyone wanted a career in fashion and tech, on top of those who love beauty.

After years in many fascinating jobs, from film to tech, Ara zoned in on her passion for health, which started after her mother’s passing, and realized the microbiome was a confusing, and untapped market that deserved a proper solution.  We discuss her multi-hyphenate career, what its like to start a brand so left and right brained, leaning into success and her advice for fellow founders.  Enjoy!
