In this episode of The Elevate Podcast, I speak with award-winning journalist Marina Gerner about her book, 'The Vagina Business'. The discussion covers the normalisation of female pain, the societal stigmas around women's health, and the innovative Femtech companies challenging the status quo. Marina shares insights into her journey entering journalism, the importance of using proper anatomical terminology, and her hopes for empowering young girls to be fearless and collaborative. The episode provides a deep dive into improving healthcare for women and changing the cultural narrative around female wellness.
