Luce specialises in creating inclusive and high performing businesses via supporting women’s wellbeing in the workplace. We speak about why companies don’t currently have infrastructure in place to properly support women’s unique differences, how you can change this and why companies that don’t will be left behind!

Hint - it’s actually more profitable to do so anyway!

Luce also talks about her own journey with an endometriosis diagnosis and how that led her to become more passionate about supporting women in career success.

Karli is pioneering europe's first menstrual blood blank. There is virtually no research done on menstrual blood and that’s a problem! It could unlock so many secrets about women's health, potentially lead to earlier diagnosis of endometriosis and certain cancers as well as potentially removing the need for a smear test. This is a fascinating area of research and I'm personally so excited to watch Karli’s work and research unfold over the next few years and beyond.

Bridget is a Health Economics Policy Advisor, she analyzes the inherent relationship between health and wealth; how healthy populations foster both economic growth and sustainable economies.

Specifically at the moment she is working on creating a numerical ROI for the investment on female health. “ We know for every £1 spent on preventive health care it saves the economy £14 but we don’t know what the ROI is for women’s specific health care” 

Personally I’m so excited about Bridget's work because whilst we shouldn’t be reducing women’s health to a smart financial decision, getting this number from her work will definitely be instrumental in women’s health care, workplace support and research improving and that’s what we need! 

I hope you loved this episode as much as I did and as always we’d love to hear your feedback, comments and questions! 

Also if you're enjoying the podcast please feel free to leave a review! It’s 30 seconds but it’s super useful for us in the podcast algorithm!
