Episode notes

In this episode of The Kara Goldin Show, I sit down with Jessica Schaefer, Founder and CEO of Lushi, a groundbreaking platform transforming fertility care. Inspired by her personal journey navigating egg freezing after a divorce, Jessica created Lushi to ease the physical, emotional, and financial challenges of fertility journeys. By integrating telehealth, concierge services, and community support, Lushi is modernizing the antiquated women’s health industry.
Jessica shares her journey of transitioning from a successful career in PR—where she built and sold Bevel, a leading PR firm—to founding Lushi. We dive into her mission to break stigmas around fertility, how Lushi addresses the pain points of egg freezing and IVF, and the steps she’s taking to modernize women’s health care. Jessica also opens up about raising $5 million in pre-seed funding from female founders who share her passion and how Lushi is building a supportive community for individuals navigating their fertility journeys.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur, someone considering egg freezing or IVF, or simply interested in the intersection of healthcare and technology, this episode is packed with insights and inspiration. Tune in to hear Jessica’s incredible story and learn more about how Lushi is redefining fertility care. Now on The Kara Goldin Show!
