The Audacious Student Empowering Women - Startup Dunedin Podcast #011

Author: Angus Pauley November 12, 2019 Duration: 49:16

Tenisha was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) at just seventeen years old. She was told that she was probably going to be miserable, struggle to get pregnant and should lose some weight if she wanted to get close to living a happy, normal life.

After using "Dr. Google" and finding dozens of stories from other women struggling with PCOS she decided that she could make a difference. 

A couple of years later, Tenisha had the opportunity to complete a project as part of her qualification. She doubled down on this by joining Audacious and creating PCOS Fit. A health programme specifically for women with PCOS.

On the podcast we discussed PCOS, her journey so far and how she plans on bringing PCOS to more women around the world.


Hosted by Angus Pauley, the Startup Dunedin Podcast pulls up a chair with the people building things in the deep south and beyond. This isn't about polished, theoretical success; it's about the real grind. Each conversation digs into the specific tactics a founder used to secure funding, the exact tool that saved an expert hours each week, or the personal routine that kept someone going after a major setback. You'll hear war stories from early failures that shaped a better approach, and success stories that reveal what actually worked when the pressure was on. The aim is to move beyond simple inspiration, offering tangible lessons you can apply to your own path. Tuning into this podcast feels like getting direct, unfiltered advice from someone who's been in the trenches, all focused on the practical takeaways from a personal or professional journey. It’s a resource for anyone in the business world looking to learn from the lived experiences of others, one honest conversation at a time.
