Power, Passion & Pivoting Toward Women’s Health
In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Katie Severt — a woman in her late 50s who has worn many hats, pivoted more than most, and is now fiercely advocating for equity in women’s health. From corporate tech to full-time motherhood, and now to community builder and health activist, Katie’s journey is one of reinvention and deep purpose.
What We Cover:
- Katie’s mission to elevate and amplify voices in women’s health, shining light on the disparities women face — especially as they age and care for others before themselves.
- Her belief that health is a gift back to herself and her generation, especially after witnessing the impact of COVID on vulnerable populations.
- The emotional layers of raising four children — her "older pod" of biological sons and her adopted daughter — and the haze and clarity that came with those early years of motherhood.
- The sandwich generation dilemma: caring for aging parents while trying to grow a business and raise kids.
- Katie’s evolution from IBM and tech startups to launching quarterly women’s health events featuring experts, conversations, and action.
- How an MBA helped her reset, realize the power of networks, and better understand the business of healthcare.
- Her passion for bridging the gap in funding, conversation, and innovation for women’s health — only 2% of philanthropic dollars go toward women or children.
- Why the overhaul needs to begin at every point in the healthcare journey, and how raising awareness is just the start — what’s needed is real action.
