Under the Sisterhood
Under the Sisterhood podcast will honor female experiences. During each episode, our host Elizabeth Elfenbein meets with women ages 18 to 100+ and has intimate conversations to get under the hood of their individual journeys through womanhood, with the intention to see and hear one another and hold space for female expression. Together, we dive into many aspects of the female experience, creating an outlet for women to share their stories, their ideas, their creation and their wisdom. Bringing in guests of many generations, cultures and backgrounds, we approach historical issues of women’s empowerment and open dialogue for new perspectives on women’s embodiment across cultures and worldviews.
Season 1 "Being a Woman in Today's World"

Under the Sisterhood is a podcast that celebrates women's voices and perspectives. With the help of podcast producer and editor Matt Butler, our host and producer Elizabeth will create space for women to be seen, heard and celebrated. Music by Ayla Schafer.

Naoko Kita on improving Women's Health literacy in Japan
Today we’re getting Under the Hood of Naoko Kita a daughter, sister, women’s advocate, a healthcare and femtech innovator, and a founder on a mission for women’s health literacy from Japan.
She is the founder and CEO of Joconne Inc. from Japan. Joconne is a company that aims to create a society where women can live with enough health literacy. She strives to improve women's health literacy and empowerment in Japan, where the gender gap ranks among the lowest among developing countries. In Japan, women's health has long been considered taboo, to the extent that even recently, when buying napkins, people are putting them in opaque bags to hide them.
After working for global medical device manufacturers such as Johnson and Johnson and Medtronic, she changed her career after experiencing endometriosis and realizing her mission of increasing women's health literacy. Along the way, she also experienced pregnancy and childbirth, and started her own business just one year after giving birth. She has been selected for various entrepreneurial programs in Japan and received an Outstanding Leadership award at the Health 2.0 international conference.
