Midlife women hold $15 trillion in spending power, but have nothing worthwhile to spend it on—at least in the health and wellness market. That is, until Womaness changed the game. In this episode of Reclaim, we unpack the important and inspiring story of Womaness, the leading women's wellness brand that's modernizing perimenopause, menopause and aging support.
What You'll Learn:
• How to identify a product category opportunity through personal pain
• The "relatability with aspiration" framework for brand imaging
• How to reframe positioning when early messaging alienates rather than invites
• The one-third, one-third, one-third channel strategy to mitigate wholesale risk
• Why paid social alone won't drive retail awareness and what will
• How to educate retail partners on category placement and signage
• How to balance founder burnout with boundary-setting
This episode takes us behind the scenes of one powerful principle: celebrate the midlife woman and reclaim the voices that culture forgot to amplify.
