Breaking Period Taboos: Arielle Loupos on Flower Girl’s Mission

---

Episode 104

---

Most of us grew up whispering about periods—and using products that were far from ideal. Pads, tampons, discomfort, and silence were just part of the deal.

But what if there’s a better way?

In this week’s episode, I’m talking with Arielle Loupos, founder of Flower Girl, a period underwear brand designed to be safe, sustainable, and actually cute. Arielle shares her journey from e-commerce consultant to mission-driven entrepreneur, and why she’s passionate about breaking period taboos once and for all.

Together, we explore:

• The shocking chemicals recently discovered in pads and tampons
• Why intuition played a bigger role than strategy in Arielle’s entrepreneurial leap
• How sustainable period underwear can change lives (and the planet)
• The connection between cycle syncing, energy, and women’s leadership
• What it takes to build a purpose-led brand without burning out

Whether you’re past your period years or still navigating them, this conversation is a reminder that our health—and our daughters’ and granddaughters’ health—deserve better.

Key Topics:

• Breaking the silence around periods
• Safer, sustainable alternatives to traditional products
• The challenges and wins of product development
• Listening to your gut as a business strategy
• Building impact-driven brands that matter
