Shine Bright, Founders! Harness Your Power with Creativity, Manifestation & More 🌟

Hey there, powerhouse! I'm hoping this sunny SF weather is treating you well and you're soaking up all the Vitamin D you need to keep shining!

This week, I wanted to share with you a quote from Marianne Williamson that has been ringing in my ears:

'Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of the universe. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine.'

- Marianne Williamson

It's a beautiful reminder that we're meant to shine, not shrink.

As female founders in health tech, we're harnessing that power every single day. And there's plenty coming up on our events calendar to keep the momentum going! Plus, an exciting job opportunity for those who want to be part of the world's first AI-model revolution in contraceptive methods.

But that's not all. I've also stumbled across some fascinating reads and listens around creativity, manifesting, and even an innovative use for used tampons that's challenging the status quo in women's health.

So grab your coffee (or tea), sit back, and dive into this week's newsletter. Let's continue to innovate, to disrupt, and to shine. We're in this together!

To your health and success,

— 🩸 Did you know that you could mail your used tampons to this LA-based company to gather data about your monthly period? Read this article to find out more about it.

— 🧑‍🎨 Ever wondered where that 'aha!' moment comes from? Our favorite neuroscientist guru, Dr. Huberman, has done this fascinating episode all about creativity. He dives deep into how our brains cook up those awesome, lightbulb-moment ideas. What I personally liked about this episode is that he gives your practical tools to foster creativity.

— 🔮 Are you the type who maps out every detail, sets lofty goals, but then feels deflated when things don’t quite pan out? Or perhaps, you're often caught in indecision, asking everyone for advice till you're dizzy with options. Could it be that we're tipping the scales against ourselves in these situations? Gabby Bernstein's insightful piece on the dos and don'ts of manifesting is just the read we need. It's about striking that perfect balance - sketching out your dreams, immersing in the emotions as if you've already achieved those goals, and then... letting the universe take the reins. Thought this was a refreshing way to redefine the art of manifestation.
