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 of Rebecca Sternberg a daughter, sister, friend, women’s advocate, and the co-founder of Aquafit Intimate, an intimate wellness startup pioneering self-care products and services for vaginal health and intimate wellbeing of women.
Aquafit Intimate offers innovative solutions, including our patented Intimate Gel Sticks, which combine pelvic floor muscle training with the delivery of natural extracts to hydrate, balance pH, and soothe vaginal tissue.
With over 25 years of experience in strategic design, media, architecture, technology, and innovation, Rebecca brings a deep focus on usability to Aquafit Intimate, aiming to address the needs of the 75% of women who experience vaginal discomfort or pain. The company's entry into women’s health and wellness stemmed from a personal need following pelvic radiation for cervical cancer. In keeping with inclusive design principles, Aquafit Intimate quickly expanded to address vaginal health accessible to all women.
Rebecca holds a BA from Harvard University and a Master of Architecture (MArch) from Rice University. She is also a design-thinking educator at design and business schools, in addition to running an independent interdisciplinary strategic design studio.
