FemTech Focus

It’s the third of our summer throwbacks! This week, we’re replaying our episode with Kristen Carbone, Founder and CEO of Brilliantly, a company improving the lives of women that have been impacted by breast cancer. Their wearable, Brilliantly Warm, helps women who have had implant reconstruction after a mastectomy and feel constantly cold. We discussed breast implants, preventative mastectomies and fundraising during a pandemic.

This episode was first released in 2021, so there may be one or two references that are slightly out of date. There’s some golden content here though, so let’s get into it.
