In this episode of the Badass Women in Business podcast, Aggie and Cristy sit down with Mo Carrier, co-founder of MyBliss®, to discuss the journey behind building a sexual wellness brand dedicated to women's health. Mo opens up about her personal experiences with birth control and how it led her to start MyBliss®, a company focused on developing condoms that prioritize women’s comfort and vaginal health. She shares the challenges of breaking into the market, particularly as a young female entrepreneur in a male-dominated industry.

From facing sexism while raising capital to dealing with personal hardships such as miscarriages, Mo’s story is a testament to perseverance and the power of creating solutions that matter. She talks about the innovative design of MyBliss® Ultra-Thin Condoms, which have been recognized by Cosmopolitan as the Best Condom of 2024, and the importance of breaking down stigmas surrounding women's sexual health. Mo also shares her insights on the value of having a clear vision, staying grounded, and building relationships that support your entrepreneurial journey.
