Most of us grew up whispering about periods—and using products that were far from ideal. Pads, tampons, discomfort, and silence were just part of the deal.
But what if there’s a better way?
In this week’s episode, I’m talking with Arielle Loupos, founder of Flower Girl, a period underwear brand designed to be safe, sustainable, and actually cute. Arielle shares her journey from e-commerce consultant to mission-driven entrepreneur, and why she’s passionate about breaking period taboos once and for all.
Together, we explore:
- The shocking chemicals recently discovered in pads and tampons
- Why intuition played a bigger role than strategy in Arielle’s entrepreneurial leap
- How sustainable period underwear can change lives (and the planet)
- The connection between cycle syncing, energy, and women’s leadership
- What it takes to build a purpose-led brand without burning out
Whether you’re past your period years or still navigating them, this conversation is a reminder that our health—and our daughters’ and granddaughters’ health—deserve better.
Key Topics:
- Breaking the silence around periods
- Safer, sustainable alternatives to traditional products
- The challenges and wins of product development
- Listening to your gut as a business strategy
- Building impact-driven brands that matter

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
