"Women's health is not a niche. It's half of the world's population." — Sylvia Kang
🌿 Introducing Mirror Talks
After years spent helping women understand their hormones, we realized something profound: data tells only part of the story.
For women, looking in the mirror often means seeing flaws rather than potential. Believing in ourselves and creating real change is challenging under constant pressure from others’ expectations. Overcoming this isn’t easy, but true change begins when we do.
Mirror Talks is more than just a women’s empowerment podcast. Each episode features women who have transformed their lives and redefined what’s possible for others—founders, doctors, artists, and visionaries who turn fear and doubt into impact.
Together, we explore what happens when doubt gives way to discovery, tracing stories of trailblazing change within our guests’ lives and across industries that have long been overlooked and stigmatized, especially in women’s health.
Through candid, honest conversations—and real hormone health stories—we share what these women have learned, what they wish others knew, and how listening to themselves was the first step toward healing and new possibilities.

✨ Turning Doubt Into Discovery: How Sylvia Redefined Women’s Health
When Sylvia Kang left behind her career as a concert pianist to study biomedical engineering, she wasn’t just changing direction—she was breaking a mold.
In our first episode of Mirror Talks, Sylvia reflects on the quiet courage it took to pursue science in a world that told her she didn’t belong, and how that same determination led her to build Mira, a hormone health platform helping women better understand their cycles through personalized data.
From explaining basic female anatomy to skeptical investors to leading one of the largest hormone data banks in the world, Sylvia’s story is about reshaping how women access knowledge about their own bodies.
🎧 Listen to the full episode to hear how Sylvia turned doubt into discovery.
Sylvia Kang is the co-founder and CEO of Mira, a leading hormone health company known for its smart ovulation test and fertility tracker technology.
With a background in biomedical engineering and a unique journey that began in classical music, Sylvia has built one of the largest hormone data banks in the world. Under her leadership, Mira Fertility has helped thousands of women track their hormones at home, gain deeper insights into their cycles, and make confident decisions about their fertility.

🧠 Key Takeaways
- Representation matters: “We need more girls to see that they can build, lead, and change things. Not wait for someone else to give them permission.”
- Real data, not perfect curves: “Textbook women’s hormone charts were perfect curves. Real life isn’t perfect. Every woman is different— and that’s what we needed to study.”
- Women’s health is not a niche: "Women deserve the clarity, reliability, and science that men have had for decades. We're changing that."
- Courage means rewriting the story: Sylvia’s path wasn’t linear—and that’s what makes it powerful.
- Innovation is personal: Mira was born from lived experience and built for women everywhere.
