03. Feminine Wellness, Unheard Voices, and Standing Up to Medical Gaslighting with Bea Dixon of Honey Pot Co.

Hey, people with vaginas – we are GOING there. Have you ever found yourself in a situation with a doctor where you know something is wrong and you're just not being heard? Sad to say it, but you’re not alone. Bea Dixon– the CEO, Co-Founder, and Chief Innovation Officer of The Honey Pot Company, the personal wellness brand made by humans with vaginas, for humans with vaginas ®-created her company’s hero product after being misdiagnosed and deprioritized until she took matters into her own hands.

We delve into the often-overlooked issue of medical gaslighting and misogyny. It’s alarming how many women find their concerns trivialized or dismissed by medical professionals, and women of color face this even more frequently. It’s time to talk about it! We swap some horror stories and some hilarious moments, and I’m grateful that Bea is creating all the products for keeping everything downtown clean and sparkling.

Today, The Honey Pot Company’s plant-derived products can be found in 4.6 million U.S. homes and in retailers nationwide. BRAVO, BEA!
