Episode Description
Cara Kamenev is the CEO of Stripes Beauty, a menopause and wellness brand founded by Naomi Watts. After spending more than a decade at L'Oréal, Cara left the corporate world to help transform the conversation around menopause by making women's health, intimacy, and aging more approachable, empowering, and accessible.
In today's episode, Cara joins me to discuss why menopause has been ignored for so long and why millions of women feel unseen during one of the longest stages of their lives. She shares how Stripes evolved from a struggling startup into a category defining company that is changing how women experience menopause.
We dive into the biggest misconceptions surrounding menopause, why the beauty industry has traditionally focused on anti aging instead of healthy aging, and the three factors that can help women better understand what is happening to their bodies.
Cara explains the importance of treating the whole woman during menopause and why the future of women's health goes far beyond products.
She discusses why products should complement medical care, how to remove the stigma around menopause, and why women deserve solutions that make them feel confident instead of embarrassed.
Join us today as we dive into menopause, perimenopause, healthy aging, intimacy, women's wellness, building confidence during midlife, making informed treatment decisions, why menopause deserves more investment, and much more.
