About This Podcast

I’m Giana Jarrah, founder and CEO of With Meraki Co., and your biomedical engineering big sister, here to break barriers around vaginal health, reproductive wellness, and more. This podcast is a nod to "G": me, Giana; "girlhood," celebrating our journeys; and a throwback to my Lehigh days, where "G-chats" were monthly check-ins with dorm advisors. Join me for unfiltered conversations about understanding your body, reclaiming your health, and finding empowerment. Whether you’re curious about science or just want to hang out with G, this is your space. Let’s learn and grow together! 💖
