We’re obsessed with periods and we’re not ashamed of it. Just like the experience of menstruating, building a company is a beautiful and empowering journey that can be ridiculously challenging. We’re doing both! Meet Nadya, Neddy & Sam, the team behind the inclusive & sustainable August period care brand. In this podcast, we’re going to talk about what we’re learning along the way about entrepreneurship and period health as we build the next gen lifestyle period brand, August.

Shame, Stigma, and Normalization of Periods
Libra synergy engaged! August’s creative powerhouses and fellow Libras Neddy and Ruby are on today’s episode talking about their personal and professional evolution of the normalization of periods–specifically their own…on social media. Working for a company like August has pushed them well past what they assumed their comfort zones to be, but it didn’t start out that way–it’s been a lot of awkward TikToking from semi-public areas, but the journey has rewarded them in ways they never could have imagined.

Meet Ruby Moon + Importance of Accessible Education
You’ve undoubtedly seen Ruby Moon’s face (including those killer eyebrows) on August’s TikTok, but today you get to meet the person behind the social media account! Ruby’s in NYC for Team August week and she’s ready to share everything, starting with her first period story, where she shouted out the (open) bathroom door to her entire family that she had started menstruating. She also teaches us what it was like to grow up as a camp kid, how that influenced her studies and desired career path, and how it all eventually led straight to August.

August Goes to Electric Forest
When August was offered an opportunity to pass out their tampons and pads at Electric Forest music festival, they jumped at the opportunity to share their products and take the team’s first official business trip. The unforeseen bonuses exceeded their expectations–they got into conversations about menstruation with all types of people, because, *spoiler alert* … tons of menstruators were menstruating and needed that freebie! The team also talks about getting #justiceforpads and how the news on the overturning of Roe v. Wade impacted their weekend as the news broke during their departure for Michigan.
