Episode 106 - Vagina Business: FemTech with Marina Gerner

Send us a text


It can be so hard for women to find reliable information about their bodies and what they truly need to be healthy. In this episode, I talk to award-winning journalist and author of The Vagina Business, Marina Gerner. Her book explores FemTech—innovations designed to genuinely support women’s health rather than mislead or market to them with misinformation. Together, we dive into the world of women’s health and knowledge can empower a vibrant female experience. Here’s what we cover:


  • An introduction to FemTech and how it’s driving progress in women’s health
  • The taboos that often block women from getting the care and support they need
  • Why female pain is often normalized instead of being properly treated
  • How to tell the difference between privacy and shame when it comes to women’s bodies
  • How scam tech and the pink tax exploit women—even in healthcare
  • Key questions to identify scam tech vs. innovations that seek to support women’s health


I can’t wait for you to listen.


Marina Gerner’s debut book is out now. THE VAGINA BUSINESS: THE INNOVATIVE BREAKTHROUGHS THAT COULD CHANGE EVERYTHING IN WOMEN’S HEALTH. A deeply researched journalistic investigation, it shines a spotlight on the fantastic potential of femtech (female technology) to transform women’s lives, if it’s done well. As a journalist, she has written about books and arts, as well as finance and tech for over a decade. Her range of expertise has led to Marina being called "a Renaissance woman of the modern age." ​Marina has won several awards and written for The Economist, Jewish Chronicle, Guardian, Financial Times, Wired, the Times Literary Supplement, The Times, and the Wall Street Journal. She has been a contributing editor at The Sunday Times Raconteur, the i newspaper and MoneyWeek.
