Summary

The "CNBC Changemakers and Power Players" podcast features candid, in-depth conversations with trailblazing women reshaping business and culture. In this episode, CNBC's Julia Boorstin sits down with Joanna Strober, co-founder and CEO of Midi Health — the fast-growing women's health platform rethinking perimenopause, menopause, and longevity. Strober shares how a year of being misdiagnosed and dismissed pushed her to build Midi, how the company now treats 25,000 women a week through insurance-covered, expert care, and why celebrities like Amy Schumer and Tory Burch are backing the mission. She also talks about normalizing menopause at work, the new conversation around hormone therapy, and how she's become a more fearless, purpose-driven leader.
