Why This Podcast? Why Now? And What to Expect

· 07:51

|
In this short kick-off episode, we (Gabrielle Svenning and Karen Flynn) introduce ourselves, the podcast, and the reason behind it.

We discuss the evolving landscape of women's health marketing and the need for brands to engage strategically with intention and boldness to meet the moment, stand out in a competitive marketplace, and establish leadership.

We give a brief overview of this limited interview-based information series, designed to provide actionable insights and tools for marketers, founders, and strategists in the women's health sector, with a roadmap for navigating challenges and opportunities in the field.

And we introduce an important feature of every episode of "Two Uteruses Walk into a Bar"… Mocktail of the Day!
