“Thankfully, the world is now starting to have discussions about menopause on a very regular basis.” (Rachel)

“You sound literally like the Swan Study. People put you out there to set up a platform for menopause and, as it turned out, they got a whole lot of valuable information about menopause.” (Dr. Dweck)

“We know that women have many needs during this life stage, so we wanted to support them with an end-to-end platform.” (Ann)

“We know that many women don’t have access to a healthcare clinician who’s trained in menopausal care, so at least they know that now there is someone they can go to.” (Ann)

“One of the learnings that we had early on is that women want a one stop shop. They’re super busy.” (Ann)

“I think I’ll make a bold call here that 2023 is going to be the year of menopause in the workplace.” (Ann)
