Hi everyone, I'm Hilary Kerr, the co-founder and chief content officer of Who Up Where.

And this is Second Life, a podcast spotlighting women who have truly inspiring careers.

We're talking about their work journeys, what they've learned from the process of setting

aside their doubts or fears, and what happens when they embark on their second life.

Today, I'm speaking with the co-founder and president of Julie, Amanda Morrison.

Julie is an FDA-approved emergency contraception brand that's aiming to shift the narrative

around sexual health.

With the voice of a friendly and knowledgeable older friend, Julie provides scientifically

backed education and products for a new generation.

And not only is the company helping to destigmatize EC, it's also making it more accessible

for communities across the country through its one-to-one donation program.

But Julie isn't Amanda's first time leading a change-making company.

In fact, before Julie, Amanda spent five years as COO and co-founder of Mented Cosmetics,

an inclusive makeup brand made for and by women of color.

And, before building two companies, Amanda was an analyst at Goldman Sachs, a marketing

manager at TimeInk and a Harvard Business School student.

She has pivoted her career time and time again, but one thing that has always remained consistent

is Amanda's desire to solve problems and enact change.

Her story and her journey is so inspiring and I can't wait for you to hear from her today.

Now, on Second Life, it's Amanda Morrison.

You ready for this Amanda?

I am.
