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 👉 Learn more about Flower Girl: https://flowergirl.co When’s the last time you did something just for YOU? 🍷✨ Wine Camp 2026 is your chance to escape, sip fabulous local Rieslings, cruise at sunset, laugh around the fire pit, and soak up the magic of New York’s Finger Lakes. 📍 Dates: July 31–August 2, 2026 🏡 Spots are limited, so grab yours now: https://www.pennyforyourshots.com/winecamp Wine Camp 2026 is calling.
