About this episode

There’s no way you won’t be inspired after hearing Nadya Okamoto in the O.R.! She started her own non-profit when she was only 16, and now she’s one of the founders of a period product line that aims to remove the stigma from periods!
 
Nadya shares her incredible story of finding a balance between work and rest, and she opens up about the toxic reality of “girl boss” mentality.
