From Frustration to a 30-Person Team: The Story Behind CAYA

What started as two friends venting about the broken state of healthcare in British Columbia turned into one of Vancouver's most inclusive and fast-growing clinics.

Stephanie, a registered dietician, and Veronica, a psychologist, were both running private practices when they kept hearing the same thing from their clients:

"I don't feel heard. My doctor isn't taking my symptoms seriously. I don't know where to go for safe, trauma-informed care."

They realized something was missing in a space centred on women, trans, and non-binary people, where healthcare felt human again.

In this episode, you'll hear how they:

• Turned casual conversations into a real company
• Built a 30-person team from scratch
• Navigated being underestimated
• Created a safe, judgment-free, one-stop shop for care

If you've ever wondered what it takes to build something that truly matters — this is the episode to watch.
