Taking a Leap of Faith: How Deeannah Sey...

Rebecca Minkoff
About this episode

Deeannah Seymour never set out to become an entrepreneur. She was accidentally catapulted into entrepreneurship.


After many rounds of antibiotics from chronic sinus infections, Deeannah was left with an unbalanced vaginal biome. Desperate for a solution, she began to search for a holistic product that was commercially available. Coming up empty-handed, she started to do her own research and stumbled upon boric acid. This led to the birth of her very first product and the founding of her company, pH-D® Feminine Health.


At the time, Deeannah thought this would just be her side hustle. But after a moment of clarity, she leaned into her intuition and took a leap of faith. She left the security of her 20-year pharmaceutical job to go all in on pH-D® Feminine Health, forever revolutionizing women’s health.


Deeannah’s goal from the beginning has been to remove the stigma surrounding feminine health and vaginal odor. Throughout the process, she has learned the ins and outs of business and now runs a highly successful multi-million dollar company selling her products in over 45,000 major retail stores nationwide.
