CARA NATTERSON

CO-FOUNDER + CEO
Cara is a leading voice in puberty and adolescent health. A pediatrician, speaker and podcast host, she is a New York Times bestselling author of multiple books including The Care and Keeping of You series, with more than seven million copies in print, and the forthcoming This Is So Awkward: Modern Puberty Explained (Rodale Books, Oct. 2023). Along with her podcast  co-host Vanessa Kroll Bennett, Cara shares all things puberty on Instagram and TikTok at @spillingthepubertea. Cara graduated from Harvard and Johns Hopkins Medical School and trained at UCSF. 

When her own daughter started puberty, Cara realized there was no company dedicated to making this decade of life more comfortable….so she started one. When her son entered puberty, she realized that there was even less puberty content and product aimed at males… so Cara decided to fix that, too!
