This week’s theme: Women’s Health
This episode of From Fear to Fire highlights women’s health through the inspiring journey of Jennifer Newell, founder of Betty’s Co., a modern women’s healthcare company transforming how young women experience care. Jennifer shares her personal story of being diagnosed with primary ovarian insufficiency as a teenager and how navigating a confusing system revealed a major gap in how girls transition into women’s healthcare. She explains why women’s health must go beyond pregnancy-focused care and instead address menstrual health, mental wellbeing, and overall body awareness from an early age.
Listeners will discover how Betty’s Co. creates safe, stigma-free spaces where women feel heard, respected, and empowered. The conversation explores the connection between women’s health, mental health, and lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, nutrition, and hormonal cycles, while emphasizing early education and accessible care, especially on college campuses. At its core, this episode is a call to reimagine women’s health as holistic, compassionate, and proactive care for every stage of life.

Jennifer Newell
You might say Betty’s Co. found Jennifer. At the age of 17, she was diagnosed with premature ovarian failure, sending her as an infertile person to solo-navigate a space in healthcare that revealed a massive care gap. From starting their periods up to pregnancy planning, younger women simply were not getting care. Nearly 20 years after her diagnosis, women’s healthcare looked very much the same. So, Jennifer set out to create the change needed.
Betty’s Co. embodies both Jennifer’s personal journey as a patient and her extensive professional background. Throughout her decade-long tenure with healthcare consulting and technology firm, the Advisory Board, and its sister company in higher education, EAB, Jennifer excelled in building and leading high-performing teams in business development, content creation, and product marketing.
