Prior to Poppy Seed Health, Simmone spent thirteen years working on go-to-market strategies with early-stage startups Gilt Groupe, SpaFinder, and KidPass.

Her work has been covered by The New York Times, CBS Mornings with Gayle King, Vogue and many more.ring them to be active agents in their wellness.
In this value packed episode, Blessing and Simmone discuss the path to parenthood and the wonderful work that Poppy Seed Health does to support the multiplicity of that journey. They discuss the importance of taking the day off as it relates to the birthing journey and how nobody needs to give you permission to take the day off. They also talk about how the culture behind Poppy is rooted in radical empathy to destigmatize the often shameful, unseen and unheard experiences of birthing people.
