They are still treating us like smaller men and we're building our own solution
Hey Ladies!
I'm Victoria, the founder of Atunelle, a mobile app for women.
**The reason behind it...**
With all the crazy trends around us, the unrealistic body images, the stupid diets—and on the other hand, the urge and need to make better choices for our health and build a better lifestyle. But we have careers, families, kids.
Basically, with all that and all the options we have, commercial applications that we have to pay the pink tax for, or applications that treat us like small men. And don't let me start with the big gap in science—there are still things not studied well, but they don't care. We need to deal with ourselves, so we deal all our lives with whatever happens and the changes, and sometimes we don't know if this is normal or if we need to see a doctor.
And then there's this: Just when we think we finally understand our bodies, we enter a new phase. Pregnancy. Postpartum. Premenopause. Menopause. And with each one, everything changes. Your body reacts differently. What worked last year doesn't work now. And it's different from woman to woman. So how do we expect generic advice to work for us?
Did I implement all that? Fixed all the problems? No.
I'm a data scientist. I'm not specialized in fitness, but I believe in data. I believe in patterns. And seeing the patterns sometimes is part of the solution.
I don't think with all we do, we have time to collect information from multiple apps and work on it all. So I'm working on a way to make it easier for women to find their patterns and understand their bodies with love and appreciation for our miracles makers.
Until now I wasn't able to implement all of this because I'm working on this project solo beside my full-time job—it's all in my head.
This is why I want to connect with female founder friends to talk about and discuss what we're working on, get support, and give that support.
