#80 | Kasia Pokrop | "Rebellious Female Founder Perspective: Stop waiting for the system!"

In this second ๐—ฅ๐—ฒ๐—ฏ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น๐—ถ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜€ ๐—™๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ฒ ๐—™๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฑ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ, a deep dive with Kasia Pokrop, founder of 3mbrace Health | Formerly Mamamoon Health and someone who is no longer willing to wait for the world to catch up with womenโ€™s health!

What struck me most is that this conversation was never really about hormones or healthcare. ๐—œ๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฏ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฝ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป. After becoming a mother, navigating corporate life and stepping into the startup world, Kasia found herself asking a deeper question:ย 

โ‡พ if women who have seen the gaps stay silent, who exactly is going to change them?

We discussed what happens when someone ๐˜€๐˜๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐˜€ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด โ€œthis is normalโ€ as an answer. From startup accelerators where womenโ€™s health was treated as a niche topic, to workplaces and healthcare systems still overlooking half the population.ย 

Awareness alone is not enough and why change begins the moment we stop waiting for permission!

Beneath every conversation about womenโ€™s health sits a bigger question:ย 

โ‡พ who gets to decide what deserves attention, research and investment?ย 

Kasia challenges the quiet acceptance that systems will eventually fix themselves. Her belief is simple. If we want a different future, we need more people willing to question what everyone else has learned to live with.

Deep dive talking points:

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพ The invisible gaps: why womenโ€™s health is still too often dismissed with โ€œthis is normalโ€;

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพ Who gets a seat at the table: what startup and investment spaces still overlook;

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพ Awareness versus action: why understanding the problem is only the beginning;

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพ Changing systems from within: how workplaces can become catalysts for healthier lives;

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพ The ripple effect of courage: what happens when ordinary people stop waiting and start speaking up;

Some rebellious nuggets:

๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ Sometimes rebellion is not making noise. It is refusing to accept an answer that no longer makes sense;

๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ Systems rarely change because time passes. They change because people decide they cannot look away anymore;

๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ You do not need to have all the answers before becoming part of the change. Curiosity and conversation are a powerful place to begin;

Kasiaโ€™s empowering quote:

๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿพ โ€œIf women like me donโ€™t do something about it, nothing is ever going to happen.โ€

Listening to Kasia left me wondering how many things we're still accepting simply because they have always been there?|
