In this episode, we sit down with Cecilia Robinson - entrepreneur, founder of Tend, and passionate advocate for women’s health — for a raw and powerful conversation about the reality of our healthcare system.

Cecilia opens up about her personal battle with fertility & endometriosis and the years-long fight to be heard, diagnosed, and treated. We talk about why women are so often dismissed, why the system feels fractured, and how much change is desperately needed.

We also dive into big ideas: how AI could help bridge gaps in care, what healthcare could look like if designed for women, and why being “difficult” — asking more questions, demanding answers — is sometimes the only way forward.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed or unheard in a medical setting, this episode is for you.

We cover:

  • Cecilia’s endometriosis journey

  • The broken pieces of the healthcare system

  • Why women are conditioned to “wait and cope”

  • How AI and innovation could create better care pathways

  • Practical ways to advocate for yourself in healthcare spaces

It’s time to make noise, ask twice, and change the system.
