From Trauma to Purpose: FemTech, Healing & Leadership
By Productive Passions, October 2025
Five months ago, Roswitha Verwer joined the Productive Passions Podcast for an in-depth conversation about resilience, leadership, and the evolving FemTech landscape.
In the episode, she shares how trauma can be transformed into growth and how counseling, faith, and community support can help survivors rebuild with strength and purpose. She speaks candidly about the importance of choosing advisors who share not only business goals, but also values and ethical alignment.
The conversation also explores the rapid expansion of FemTech. Roswitha discusses how the sector is breaking long-held taboos around menstrual health, fertility, menopause, and vaginal wellness, while emphasizing that FemTech goes beyond products. It is equally about education, long-term data, and understanding how women’s bodies evolve over time.
She further reflects on leadership, building psychologically safe teams through transparency, setting high expectations while providing strong support, and creating environments where ambition and humanity coexist.
The episode captures the philosophy behind YON E Global: science-driven innovation rooted in resilience, integrity, and systemic change in women’s health.
