Ep. 31 đ©ž Alchemizing Endometriosis to Pain-Free-Periods with Catherine & Lauren Lee of Semaine
If youâve ever been curious about what it looks like to start a product-based biz, get into retailers, or alchemize your own struggle into something that serves others, youâre gonna eat this convo right up. I had the pleasure of chatting with Catherine and Lauren Lee, endometriosis warriors, founders of Semaine Health, and just all-around powerhouses when it comes to turning pain into purpose. We go deep into their own journeys with endo, PCOS, and IBS, and how what started as pain and suffering became not just relief, but the birth of Semaine Health!
And even if youâre not biz-curious â if youâre just a human with a uterus â this episode is such an inspiring conversation about womenâs health, period pain, menopause, stress, and the magic of plants.
We got into everything:
Their 15+ year journey with endometriosis and finally getting answers
How a pain-free-period smoothie turned into a legit supplement biz
The wild world of supplements (spoiler: most arenât regulated)
Growing Semaine from kitchen experiments to Walmart shelves (!!)
And why women deserve support at every stage â from first period to perimenopause and beyond
This one is such a blend of personal, practical, and powerful. Catherine and Lauren are hilarious, brilliant, and so generous in sharing their story. And full disclosure: I am literally chewing on one of their PMS gummies as I type this. Theyâre basically anti-inflammatory candy and I cannot keep them in my house because my husband and my five-year-old eat them all.
So, whether youâre here for the biz inspo, the period relief, or just to hear two badass women talk about turning pain into power, dive in. Youâre gonna love it!
Trigger warning: Endometriosis, Emergency Surgery and Cesarean.
