What Happens When Entrepreneurship Meets BPD? with Nadya Okamoto

Horny For Life

How in touch are you with your period? Nadya Okamoto, the co-founder of August, a lifestyle period brand working to reimagine periods to be powerful, has dedicated her life to ending period poverty and improving period care for all women.

Our society has many important issues, and one of them is that the world is not designed for vulva-body people. Alchemizing this frustration into a passion, as 26-year-old Nadya so admirably has, is truly innovative and actually making the world a better place. She co-founded the period product brand August, started an organization at 16 called Period to end period poverty and stigma, and is one of the most prominent educators on social about periods. Definition of a powerhouse!

Nadya shares the gold she has mined from her borderline personality and how she approaches mental health in her business. She opens up about her journey to reaching a point of acceptance about her diagnosis and now is confidently sharing on TikTok about her experience. We get into how sex, periods, pleasure, and being a woman are deeply interconnected and the beauty of engaging over ignoring your period.
