Hi, Deanna. Welcome to the podcast. Hi, Rebecca. Thank you so much for having me and congratulations on the baby. Thank you. I was excited to chat because it's rare that I get someone coming across my inbox that's pioneering the women's health space. And so wanted to just get deep with you on all the things you're creating and what got you

interested in women's health.

Sure.

Yeah.

It's kind of, I kind of say that I'm an accidental entrepreneur, if you will.

But yeah, I would love to share my story.

So why accidental? What were you doing before? Yeah. So I spent 20 years in the pharmaceutical industry on the sales side of the business and really had my life planned out for me or so I thought

because I was a single mom of two kids and it provided me, you know, all the benefits that I needed

being a single mom, great health care, retirement benefits,

all of all of those things. And during that time, I had been on a lot of antibiotics for sinus

infections and actually ended up having two sinus surgeries. And, you know, as women, we know what happens when we're on antibiotics.

It completely disrupts our vaginal biome.

And I was looking for something that didn't exist.

And I was looking for a holistic alternative that was really effective

and couldn't find anything out there that wasn't backed by science. And I started researching

different holistic ingredients that worked for feminine care issues

and found this ingredient called boric acid and boric acid vaginal suppositories in particular

and found out, you know, it was highly recommended by OBGYNs and many OBGYNs

were using them, but they could only get them for their patients through a compounding pharmacy

and they were very, very expensive. And, I mean, let's to say, I used it and it completely changed my life. And it

just got me thinking, like, why is no one making this commercially? And that's when things got

set into motion for me to bring the product to market.
