About this episode

Sara Falkson discusses her journey in redesigning the sports bra and promoting body confidence among young athletes.

Imagine a sports bra that doesn’t chafe, doesn’t dig into your shoulders or torso, or require a second one to provide adequate support. Basically, imagine a sports bra that fits! That’s exactly what Harvard engineer and Robyn Athletic founder Sara Falkson is after! You probably know her from her viral videos on social (or her first episode here on the podcast!) Now, Sara is taking all she worked on at Harvard and is developing the first Robyn sports bra set to release in Spring 2027. Of course, Robyn started with the bra but is now so much more, including body confidence workshops. Sara was inspired by her own story in sport – a former Dartmouth College field hockey captain – and the widely reported stat from a Dove study finding that nearly 50% of girls drop out of sports by the time they’re 14 years old. Today she fills us in on what she’s been up to this past year. Specifically, what she and her team are focused on in the design process. We discuss the foundation of the body confidence workshops and why she thinks the approach is sticking with teens. It’s a fun conversation and a really important one!
