What if AI could finally solve one of the most overlooked challenges in women’s health?

Millions of women experience menopause, yet real support has always lagged behind, until now.

In this episode of the 2B Bolder Podcast, I sit down with Susan Sly, tech founder, health advocate, and CEO of Pause AI, who is transforming how women navigate menopause through the use of artificial intelligence.

Her journey is anything but traditional, from working on facial recognition algorithms in the ’90s, to building a career in holistic health, to a life-threatening illness that nearly derailed everything. But that experience lit a fire—and brought her back to tech with a new mission: to build real-time, personalized solutions for the 1.1 billion women facing menopause.

We talk about:

  • The spark behind Pause AI at a Women in AI event
  • How wearables and real-time data are changing the game
  • Why only 2.5% of VC funding goes to women founders—and what she’s doing anyway
  • The resilience it takes to walk away from what’s working to build what’s needed

Susan gets real about leadership, aging, and why women should solve women’s health issues.

🎧 Tune in and be inspired, as bold leaders innovate and listen to what women truly need.
