Today, I’m happy to introduce Val Emanuel, a pioneering force in women’s health and environmental sustainability. As the co-founder of Rif Care, Val is revolutionizing menstrual health with organic eco-friendly products made from regenerative hemp fiber.
Val’s journey is one of resilience and innovation. After confronting significant reproductive health challenges, she turned to holistic healing methods, which led her to identify a gap in the market for safe, effective, and eco-friendly menstrual products.
In our conversation, Val and I delve into the importance of risk-taking, female empowerment, the need to change the narrative around menstruation, and the profound link between caring for our bodies and our planet. We explore historical and cultural perspectives on menstruation, debunking stigmas and celebrating the powerful natural processes that connect us to the Earth.
