Émer Secrets: Luxury Periods Revolution // Episode #13

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2503987/fan_mail/new] Period pain shouldn’t be a performance test, and silence shouldn’t be the policy. We sit down with Céline Ventalon, the French founder behind EMER, to unpack how luxury period underwear, honest education, and cultural empathy can turn a private struggle into practical power. From her 17 years in Asia-Pacific marketing to building a women’s health brand rooted in French craftsmanship and Vietnam’s maker spirit, Céline explains why trust—not fabric specs—decides whether people switch, and how small habits can unlock big change. We dig into the underreported risks behind some disposable products and the shocking scale of waste: tens of thousands of items per person over a lifetime, with pads and tampons among top global plastic pollutants. Céline walks us through the real economics of period care, showing how multi-year underwear pays back quickly, reduces trash, and removes the mid-meeting scramble. She shares the most common barriers—washing anxiety, habit inertia, and fear of leaks—and offers practical, step-by-step ways to trial new options without stress. Education threads the whole conversation. We talk about bringing boys and fathers into the room, running pro bono workshops in schools and companies, and using cycle literacy to fuel performance. If elite athletes can tailor training to phases and win championships, why can’t managers plan work with the same intelligence? The goal isn’t to make women “like men,” but to manage with facts, reduce stigma, and build teams that run on trust. Along the way, Celine opens up about juggling three kids and a startup, choosing care over scale, and learning when to reroute instead of forcing locked doors. If you’ve ever felt the pinch of taboo at work, the confusion of conflicting health info, or the guilt of plastic waste, this conversation offers clarity, tools, and hope.

From Chaos to 'I've got this': Flow, Calm, Focus, Fun & many more// Episode #10

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2503987/fan_mail/new] What if the antidote to overwhelm is not balance, but clarity? We sit down with Julia Gormand - fintech commercial strategist, yoga teacher, investor, and mom in a blended, globe‑trotting family - to unpack how she turns chaos into flow with a few simple habits and fierce boundaries. From boardrooms to forest trails, Julia shows how breath, writing, and intention can reset your day, your leadership, and your sense of control. Julia shares the non‑negotiables that anchor her: a short asana practice, meditation, and three handwritten pages that clear mental fog and spark solutions. We dig into the moment she ditched the likability trap to lead with authenticity, the coaching that helped dismantle a polished image, and the eight‑count breathing reset she uses before negotiations and big meetings. At home, sacred dinner and bedtime routines protect space for laughter, hard questions, and the kind of conversations that raise independent thinkers. Purpose lives at the center of her work with AMLACAS [https://amlakas.com], the platform tackling online sexual exploitation of children by tracing and preventing suspect transactions. She explains how banking expertise becomes a force for good, and why mission work requires real teams and permission to ask for help. Julia also takes us to South Africa’s Drakensberg, where an expedition taught her to surrender control, dissolve ego, and define success as a team: start eleven, finish eleven. The field lessons map back to career and family - prepare well, breathe deeply, let go, and take the next right step. If you’re a multi‑passionate leader, a parent carving room for what matters, or someone craving a sturdier daily rhythm, this conversation offers practical tools and a mindset shift. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a reset, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway - what intention will you choose for today?
