On a mission to democratize accessibility, emotional support and well-being for all birthing people, Simmone comes to this work through the highly personal experience of navigating her own pregnancy loss in an inequitable medical system. Prior to Poppy Seed Health, Simmone spent thirteen years working on go-to-market strategies with early-stage startups Gilt Groupe, SpaFinder, and KidPass. She is a deep believer that technology can and should leverage its power to connect us all with radical empathy. 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.
