Female Startup Club

Dr. Amandeep Hansra is a practicing GP, co-founder of Medical Angels (34 investments and counting), and one of Australia's most vocal advocates for closing the gender gap in medicine and health investment. But what she really wants you to know about women's health surprised me.. because the biggest breakthroughs aren't coming from billion-dollar labs. They're coming from women who got fed up and built something.In this chat with Female Startup Club, Dr. Amandeep gets refreshingly honest about why medicine still gets women wrong, what the HRT scare of the early 2000s actually showed us, and how she ended up with insulin resistance despite doing "all the right things."I wanted to know:Why she had to see three doctors before getting HRT prescribed (as a doctor herself)What GLP-1s like Ozempic actually do to muscle and bone in womenThe free tool she recommends for researching your own health (not ChatGPT!)This one is for the woman who's ever left a doctor's appointment feeling dismissed, and is ready to advocate harder for herself.💁‍♀️ SPONSORS → For ecomm founders: Omnisend is your email-SMS-automation partner that costs 60% less than the big names and returns $79 for every dollar spent → Use code FSC for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc🔗 LINKS→ Dr. Amandeep Instagram: [@dochansra ]📱 Join 160K smart chicks in the Female Startup Club universe:→ Use code 'FSC' for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc→ Female Startup Club's Instagram: www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub→ Doone Roisin's Instagram: www.instagram.com/dooneroisin→ Get opportunities delivered to your inbox 3x weekly here: https://female-startup-club.beehiiv.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Rose Donald just broke the Guinness World Record as the youngest female pilot to fly solo around Australia. She started the trip at 17, turned 18 mid-route, and raised over $82,000 for Little Wings, a children's charity that flies seriously ill kids from rural Australia to specialist hospitals in the cities.But the part she really opened up about, what it actually cost her to get there, is the message she most wants other young women to hear.In this conversation with Female Startup Club, Rose gets refreshingly honest about chasing big goals at a young age. We get into how she planned a year-long solo flight around Australia from her bedroom in Melbourne, the patchwork of sponsorship and charity money that made a $40k+ flight possible at 17, and the anxiety and self-sacrifice that nobody saw behind the headlines. Her message at the end of this one (about why she doesn't want young women comparing themselves to her) genuinely stopped me in my tracks.I wanted to know:how she funded a $40k+ solo flight around Australia at 17what's actually going through your head 8 hours alone in a cockpitwhy she doesn't want young women comparing themselves to her⏱ CHAPTERS00:00 - Introduction01:35 - Why she flew solo around Australia at 1702:45 - The 17 year old boy who sparked the idea at 1403:30 - Finding Little Wings and raising $80,000+05:07 - Funding a $40k flight at 1706:26 - Three months without sleep planning the trip07:44 - Tapping the Australian Women's Pilots Association09:49 - Five Melbourne charity rejections before Little Wings13:20 - How the Guinness World Record application works15:24 - What you actually think about up in the clouds18:36 - Calling dad as a last resort during scary moments19:24 - Horn Island and the two hour weather window22:48 - Perspective from above on school stress25:10 - The aviation community she didn't know she needed27:43 - Anxiety, fear of failure and a permanently injured knee30:48 - Please don't compare yourself to me32:28 - The $100k donation goal for Little Wings🔗 LINKS→ Rose Donald on Instagram: www.instagram.com/pilotrose.au→ Donate to Pilot Rose x Little Wings campaign: https://www.givenow.com.au/girls-can-fly#FemaleStartupClub #WomenInAviation #GuinnessWorldRecord #LittleWings #RoseDonald📱 Join 160K smart chicks in the Female Startup Club universe:→ Use code 'FSC' for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc→ Female Startup Club's Instagram: www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub→ Doone Roisin's Instagram: www.instagram.com/dooneroisin→ Get opportunities delivered to your inbox 3x weekly here: https://female-startup-club.beehiiv.com/ Hosted on Acast.

This episode is for women who have a busy brain, feel misunderstood, or want to understand themselves better!I've invited my husband, P-A, back on the show (you heard from him a few episodes ago!) to walk through something I sent him recently that genuinely felt like a breakthrough. I called it 'My Brain Operating Manual'.Quick context.. I've been on this big journey of understanding my ADHD. Why some things feel impossibly hard for me and others come so easily, and what is actually happening inside my brain when I spiral (which is daily, lol). So I sat in the bath one night, went down a massive rabbit hole, and put together a document explaining exactly how my brain works, so PA could finally understand me properly.This episode is the two of us going through it together. No structure, no script, just talking it out:→ why an ADHD brain never has a true "off" mode→ why I'm completely depleted by the end of every week (and why it's not normal tiredness)→ the masking thing that nobody else can see→ why a tiny "can you pass me a pen" interruption is genuinely painful→ why empty, unscheduled days are a neurological requirement, not a luxury→ why new ideas land as extra weight instead of swaps→ the book that completely changed how we communicate (The Course of Love by Alain de Botton, read it!)It's a conversation about understanding yourself, being a good partner to someone whose brain works differently, and why depth beats width every single time.If you've got a busy brain, whether you have ADHD or you're just burnt out and stretched and running on empty, this one is for you.We're also kicking off a listener series on busy brains, so if you want to email in your questions, all the details are below.⏱ CHAPTERS00:00 – Introduction02:00 – Why I made a Brain Operating Manual for my husband06:30 – The daily spiral (and why it gets worse by Friday)12:00 – The book that changed how we communicate17:30 – Bucket 1: an ADHD brain is always running24:00 – Masking, and why it's invisible exhaustion30:00 – Why high inbound volume drains the tank36:00 – Scheduled plans cost energy before they happen42:00 – Unscheduled time is a neurological requirement48:30 – Too many roles fragment focus and output55:00 – Why new suggestions land as additions, not swaps1:02:00 – The practical fixes that actually changed our lives1:08:30 – Advice for partners of neurodivergent people1:13:00 – Depth over width, and our new listener series🔗 LINKS#FemaleStartupClub #ADHD #Neurodivergent #ADHDinWomen #BurnoutRecovery📱 Join 160K smart chicks in the Female Startup Club universe→ Female Startup Club's Instagram: www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub→ Doone Roisin's Instagram: www.instagram.com/dooneroisin📱 Join 160K smart chicks in the Female Startup Club universe:→ Use code 'FSC' for 30% off your first 3 months at omnisend.com/fsc→ Female Startup Club's Instagram: www.instagram.com/femalestartupclub→ Doone Roisin's Instagram: www.instagram.com/dooneroisin→ Get opportunities delivered to your inbox 3x weekly here: https://female-startup-club.beehiiv.com/ Hosted on Acast.

She's now the co-founder of athletic sportswear brand Earthletica and just closed a crowdsourced raise of $1.2M.But what she really wants you to know about elite performance and what it actually takes to win surprised me...In this conversation with Female Startup Club, Bronte gets refreshingly honest about why she's "not the most talented swimmer", what it's like training every single day next to your older sister who is faster than you, and the inner dialogue she had to learn to perform when it mattered.I wanted to know:* How Olympians actually make money (and why her first sponsorship deal was $500 A YEAR!)* The 3 traits every Olympic athlete has in common* And what really happened with the brother who went into life-saving surgery during her first OlympicsThis one is for the woman who has ever felt like the underdog in her own life or industry and wants the real playbook for showing up anyway.⏱ CHAPTERS00:00 – Introduction02:30 – Growing up barefoot in Malawi & deciding at 7 to be an Olympic swimmer08:15 – The grade-3 weirdo who timed herself running laps around the school13:40 – "98% luck": the coach, the pool at the end of the street, the genetic gift19:20 – The 3 traits every Olympic athlete has (it's not what you think)24:50 – Hip surgery, glandular fever & nearly losing it all at 1430:15 – Competing against your own sister every single training session36:00 – "I'm not the most talented swimmer in my squad.
