Summary

On today’s episode of Networth and Chill, I chatted with the co-founder of August and content creator Nadya Okamoto. Nadya is on a mission to end period poverty, one tampon or pad at a time. Through her brand August and her own personal content creation, Nadya is working to normalize menstruation because hey, it’s 2024, half the world will get a period in their lifetime! From starting her business, to running for office (yes!), Nadya walks me through how everything she does leads back to periods and why she’ll never stop talking about them!
