    S3Ep135: The Truth About Menopause with Joanna Strober, Co-Founder & CEO of Midi Health

    For too long, women have been told to “just deal with it” when it comes to menopause. Symptoms dismissed, pain minimized, hormones ignored. Joanna Strober wasn’t willing to accept that, and she’s making sure the rest of us don’t have to either. As the co-founder and CEO of Midi Health, Joanna is rewriting the rules for women’s healthcare. Menopause isn’t a niche issue. It’s a universal experience for women. And yet the system wasn’t built for us. Joanna’s story is about building power in an overlooked market, creating access where there was none, and showing that women’s health is not only necessary, it’s non-negotiable. Key Takeaways: The best time to optimize women’s health is nowHow Joanna turned her personal health struggles into a national companyThe myths about perimenopause and menopause that are holding women backWomen need choices, not gatekeepers, when it comes to their healthMenopause is inevitable, but suffering through it doesn’t have to beLearn More About Joanna: Website: joinmidi.com LinkedIn: Joanna Strober Instagram: @joannastrober About Our Guest: Joanna Strober is a visionary healthcare leader and CEO/co-founder of Midi Health, the fastest-growing national telehealth clinic transforming how women navigate menopause and midlife. Since launching in 2021, Joanna has propelled Midi to serve tens of thousands of patients with insurance-covered, personalized care in all 50 states—filling a massive gap in women’s healthcare. Before Midi, she founded and scaled Kurbo Health, a digital platform tackling childhood obesity, which was acquired by WW in 2018. Recognized as a CNBC 2025 Changemakers and TIME100 Most Influential People in Health 2025, Joanna is a fierce advocate for women’s health equity. Her leadership has earned national honors—including a White House award for her groundbreaking campaign protecting women’s healthcare access—and sparked viral conversations that challenge the status quo, like forcing Noom to retract an ageist ad. Backed by visionary investors such as Sheryl Sandberg, Connie Britton, and Amy Schumer, Joanna is at the forefront of redefining care for women at midlife, driving real, systemic change in a historically neglected space.

    S3Ep134: The Woman Who Reinvented How We Shop with Julie Bornstein, Founder & CEO of Daydream

    Julie Bornstein was told she didn’t fit the mold of a founder. That the venture world doesn’t fund women at scale. That maybe she’d missed her chance. Instead, she raised $50 million and built Daydream, a company poised to transform the way we shop forever. Julie’s path proves a truth too often ignored: women with experience are not a liability, they are a force. They know how to lead. They know how to scale. They know how to create the future. This isn’t just Julie’s story. It’s the story of every woman who has ever been underestimated. Of every woman told she was “too much” or “too late.” Of every woman who knows in her bones that conviction, resilience, and vision matter more than anyone else’s doubt. Julie is living proof: women founders don’t just belong at the table. They build the table. Key Takeaways: Conviction is the most valuable currency when raising capital.Starting from scratch creates the freedom to innovate without old limits.The future belongs to the builders, not the bystanders.You’re never “too old” or “too late” to build something transformative.Resilience and risk-taking are essential muscles every founder must build.Learn More About Julie: Website: daydream.ing Instagram: @daydream LinkedIn: Julie Bornstein Instagram: @julie.bornstein About Our Guest: Julie Bornstein is the Founder and CEO of Daydream, the world’s first AI-powered, chat-based shopping agent built exclusively for fashion that introduces a radically new way to shop through personalized, conversational discovery.

Previously, Bornstein was the Founder and CEO of THE YES, an AI-powered shopping startup for women’s fashion that was acquired by Pinterest in 2022 for its groundbreaking technology and extensive brand partnerships roster. Prior, Bornstein held leadership roles at startups including Stitch Fix, where she served as the COO and Board Member, helping to scale the company to $1 billion in under six years.

    S3Ep133: Matcha Made Her Do It: The Rise of Matchaful with Hannah Habes, Founder & Chief Matcha Officer of Matchaful

    Hannah Habes didn’t set out to spark a matcha movement. She set out to heal herself. What started as a personal health journey became the foundation for Matchaful, a brand that’s grown from Hannah biking around New York with a backpack full of matcha to seven thriving cafes and a wholesale business across the U.S. Too often, women are told to play it safe. Don’t quit the job. Don’t take the risk. Don’t go it alone. Hannah did the opposite. Along the way, she ignored the “rules,” trusted her instincts, and built her business with grit, creativity, and persistence. Key Takeaways: The real story behind bootstrapping and scaling Matchaful in New York City Why sustainable growth matters more than rapid expansion The importance of owning your customer experience Why staying connected to your product’s source builds authenticity and trust Believing in your product sometimes matters more than convincing skeptics Learn More About Hannah: Website: matchaful.com Instagram: @chiefmatchaofficer Instagram: @matchaful LinkedIn: Hannah Habes About Our Guest: Hannah Habes is the founder of Matchaful, a female-led botanical nutrition brand offering direct-trade, single-origin matcha, and plant-based snacks. After experiencing burnout in the food industry, she built Matchaful around transparency, ritual, and intentional sourcing, knocking on café doors with samples and whisking drinks herself, while holding off on launch until she found the perfect farm partner. From a solar-shaded tea farm in Shizuoka to NYC cafés known for refined sugar-free lattes and functional snacks, Hannah is reshaping wellness culture with sustainably sourced ingredients and calming, restorative experiences rooted in Japanese tradition.

    So many women spend years building a life that looks good on paper—degrees earned, careers established, families raised—while quietly carrying the weight of survival. We push harder, achieve more, and numb the rest. Until one moment demands we face the truth: this isn’t happiness.

It’s about the power of women everywhere to step into their own.

    S3Ep131: Refusing the System with Julianna Glasse, Founder and CEO of This Is What Happens When Women Read

    What happens when women dare to question the systems designed to keep them small? Julianna Glasse knows firsthand. Once a Christian pop singer at the center of evangelical culture, she walked away from it all after realizing the cost of her silence and submission. When a man in her church sneered, “This is what happens when women read,” Julianna turned that insult into a global movement to reclaim the inherent worth of women and dismantle the internalized fear and shame that keeps them trapped. But her story isn’t just about leaving religion. It’s about what every woman faces when she decides her worth isn’t defined by anyone else. It’s about courage, liberation, and the radical act of self-actualization. Key Takeaways: Women who refuse silence change everythingAutonomy is non-negotiableSystems built on control crumble when women riseOppression wears many facesWhen one woman rises, she gives others the courage to do the same Learn More About Julianna: Website: thisiswhathappenswhenwomenread.org Instagram: @juliannaglasse LinkedIn: Julianna Glasse About Our Guest: Julianna Glasse is a dynamic thought leader, and the Founder and CEO of This Is What Happens When Women Read, a global initiative advancing women’s liberation through education and safe community. Formerly a celebrated Christian pop singer and author, she rose to prominence within evangelical circles and was even invited to perform at the 2017 National Prayer Breakfast hosted by Donald Trump. In the years that followed, she experienced a profound personal and ideological shift, ultimately leaving religion in 2019 and becoming a dedicated advocate for women’s rights and the LGBTQ+ community. An alumna of Oxford University, Julianna partners with Saïd Business School to fund scholarships for emerging feminist leaders. She also collaborates with global fashion houses, including Alexander McQueen and Gucci. Her forthcoming memoir, This Is What Happens When Women Read, explores her personal journey from indoctrination to liberation through literature and is slated for global release in 2026.
