Episode Summary

We're super excited to have $HMONEY's first-ever sister duo on the podcast this week, Courtney and Morgan King, the co-founders of Orchyd.  The Kings are on a mission to modernize period care. Sick of outdated support, inadequate access, and negative stigmas associated with talking about menstruation, they decided it was time for a change.

Using a period tracking app and telemedicine network, Orchyd tackles the lack of affordable health and period care available to those who menstruate. If you've downloaded and deleted almost every period app out there, you're going to want to listen to this episode.

On this episode of the #FoundingFemme series, host Anastasia Barbuzzi chats with the sisters about funding, creating and building a unique and purposeful brand in an extremely competitive industry weighted down by taboo.
