Under the Sisterhood
The Under the Sisterhood Podcast is where women's lived experiences become a catalyst for understanding, connection, and change.
Hosted by Elizabeth Elfenbein, each conversation invites women from around the world to share their stories with honesty, courage, and vulnerability. Together, they explore the moments that shape our lives—from health and mental wellness to leadership, identity, relationships, caregiving, equity, and the many experiences that define what it means to be a woman.
More than a podcast, Under the Sisterhood is a storysharing platform. Every conversation contributes to Women's Lived Experience Intelligence™, helping transform individual stories into insights that can shape healthcare, innovation, research, and culture.
At Under the Sisterhood, we believe every woman's story matters. Through storysharing, we create space for women to be seen, heard, valued, and celebrated—one conversation at a time.

Today we’re getting under the hood with Mayra Hurtado a daughter, sister, friend and women’s advocate who blends two decades of global business experience with a lifelong commitment to holistic well-being. She holds an MBA from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and has led teams across marketing, finance, and operations in industries spanning sports, biotech, and consumer health. Her track record includes 10 years at Adidas Southeast Asia and Pacific, business development at a biopharma startup, and leading global sales and marketing for a women's health company. She now leads Prelude Health, a women’s health (FemTech) startup based in Singapore.
Mayra co-founded Prelude Health with Dr. Sarita Kumble to address one of the most underserved areas in healthcare: women’s hormonal health. Their flagship product, Hormony, is the first and only rapid, at-home saliva hormone test supported by a mobile app that delivers real-time, personalized wellness guidance for women navigating perimenopause.
Under her leadership, Prelude Health has built international R&D and commercial partnerships and earned recognition across Asia, the UK, Europe, and the US.
Driven by a deeply personal mission, Mayra believes that as we live longer, every woman deserves tools and knowledge to feel well and thrive at every stage of life.
