In this candid conversation, the co-founder of Personal Fav, Hannah Hutton and our host Cat Meyer go deep into what it really takes to build a brand in the sexual wellness space—from shadowbans and startup burnout to co-opetition, community, and why we're done calling ourselves "small."

Key takeaways:
✨ Why "shadowbanned" is the new normal—and why we're still showing up
✨ The power of bold packaging, good lube, and even better boundaries
✨ Why indie brands like Head South + Personal Fav aren't competitors—we're collaborators
✨ A few laughs (and some truth bombs) about rope play, oral sex, and redefining intimacy

About Hannah | Personal Fav:

Personal Fav isn't just about what's in the bottle—it's about fostering confidence, connection, and pleasure that feels as good as it looks. Because your pleasure should always be a personal favorite.
