Superwomen with Rebecca Minkoff

Healing the Parts You Tried to Hide


Listen Later

Women are constantly told to look a certain way. And if you don’t fit the mold, you’re made to feel like something’s wrong with you.

That’s how Jaclyn Fu felt growing up. Being small-chested wasn’t just a sizing issue; it became a source of deep insecurity. But after years of feeling overlooked, she’d had enough and decided to change the industry instead.

This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sit down with Jaclyn, the Co-CEO of Pepper. Along with her co-founder, she built a bra brand specifically for women with smaller busts. What started as a scrappy prototype on Kickstarter turned into a body-positive movement—selling over a million bras without a single VC check. Jaclyn opens up about the insecurity that started it all, and how she’s now relearning confidence and gratitude in the middle of growth.
