Episode 101: Accelerating Your Productivity with Cycle Syncing with Garnuu Founder Macy Maxson

Created for This with Danielle Roberts

Today’s episode is one that will talk about periods and girl things – listen with children at your descression (there’s nothing crazy in here, just period talk, but I want you to know incase you’ve got kids around.

My guest is Garnuu founder and is passionate about helping women be the best they can be and that includes how they treat their body with feminine care.

As the Founder and CEO of Garnuu, an organic feminine care company that is on a mission to create periods that don’t cramp your style. She started Garnuu in 2021 out of a passion of helping women all over the world, including using your period to fight human trafficking for girls in Nepal.

Macy and I talk about:

– What she’s encountered as a company with conservative values

– Why it’s so important to use a period product that is organic – *hint* there are toxins, titanium dioxide, bleaches/dyes, and other unknown things in regular tampon brands
