In this episode of Sound of Breaking Glass, host Hristina Vaceva speaks with Mayra Hurtado – co-founder of Prelude Health – about the connection between our hormonal health, our identity, and the transitions that shape our lives.

After spending nearly two decades in the world of commercial strategy and marketing, Mayra’s personal health struggles became the catalyst for something much deeper: a journey into hormonal wellbeing and women’s health that changed the course of her life and career.

Together, we talk about the power of pausing, the hidden cost of pushing through, and what it really means to take your health into your own hands.

Mayra brings warmth, wisdom, and genuine care to this conversation -and in a rare twist, turns the microphone around!

Key Topics:Hormonal Health 101: What every woman deserves to know - but probably wasn’t taught.

Listening to Your Body: How to spot the early signs of perimenopause - and why we need to talk about this.

Career Change from the Inside Out: How looking for answers can spark a powerful professional change.

FemTech from Lived Experience: The story of Prelude Health and how to build a business that serves real needsReturning to Yourself: How purpose and identity evolve when we stop overriding the signs.

This is more than a conversation about careers or wellness - it’s about reclaiming agency over our health and choices.

A fitting end to a season rooted in inner change, embodied wisdom, and the courage to do things differently.🎙 Learn more about Hormony:https://findhormony.com/or
