Summary
This week on the Free Birth Society Podcast, I sit down with Miki Agrawal—serial entrepreneur, cultural disruptor, and unapologetic creative force.
From opening New York City’s first gluten-free, farm-to-table pizza restaurant, to founding THINX, to launching TUSHY and Hiro Diapers, Miki has built a life out of challenging taboos and reimagining the everyday. Together, we explore what it means to know who you are and stay steadfast in that truth—even in the face of cancel culture.
Miki shares how she rose above public attack, what female entrepreneurial life has really demanded of her, and why she’s so passionate about rethinking the most basic human habits—from ditching toilet paper in favor of water, to creating the first plastic-eating mushroom-spore diaper.
This is a conversation about creativity, courage, and the heroine’s adventure of living boldly, building fearlessly, and standing firmly in who you are.
