Episode Summary
🎙️ Introduction & Background: Kate is the CEO and co-founder of Parlor Games, a company focused on women's hormonal health, particularly menopause. She has a strong business background and earned her MBA in the 1990s during the rise of process improvement and stewardship principles.
🔬 Why Hormones? Kate is fascinated by biology, chemistry, and systems — how things connect and function. Hormones are central to our physical and mental well-being. When hormones are out of balance, they can deeply impact women's ability to think clearly, contribute, and thrive.
👩💼 Company Culture & Team The company has about 27 employees and works with around 10 consultants, totaling nearly 40 people involved. They prioritize work-life balance: 30-hour workweek is full-time.
🧴 Product Line Silky Peach Cream – flagship product for vaginal dryness (estrogen-based). Vibrant Third – progesterone cream for energy, mood, and balance. Rebound – DHEA cream for overall wellness, mental clarity, and vitality. Chaos Calmer – anti-anxiety cream, helps with mood, stress, and sleep. All products are science-based, topical creams, and designed to help women feel vibrant, calm, and healthy during and after menopause.
🌍 Vision & Goals: “Save the world one vagina at a time.”
🌿 Personal Wellness & Recharge Kate recharges through hiking (10–16 miles!), reading science books, watching cat videos, and practicing gratitude and spiritual grounding. She emphasizes laughter and joy as key parts of her well-being.
