S2 EP15 - Why Women’s Health is Still Playing Catch Up with Amy Kunrojpanya

This episode of The Mounting Block is a powerful mix of real-life horse struggles, personal breakthroughs, and an incredibly inspiring conversation with global powerhouse Amy Kunrojpanya.The girls kick things off with the highs and lows of horse shopping—navigating confidence, capability, and knowing when a horse just isn’t the right fit (even when she’s beautiful). There’s also a huge personal win in the arena, conquering fear and finally cantering calmly over poles, proof that progress isn’t always flashy, but it’s deeply meaningful.Then the episode shifts gears into a deeply moving and eye-opening conversation with Amy. From growing up in rural Queensland to leading communications for global giants like Google, Uber and Netflix, Amy shares her extraordinary career journey, but it’s her personal story that hits hardest.She opens up about living with stage 4 endometriosis, taking nearly 30 years to diagnose, and the systemic gaps in women’s health that still exist today. The conversation dives into the “gender pain gap,” the lack of research and funding for women’s health, and what needs to change, from funding female founders to normalising conversations about our bodies.It’s a raw, honest, and empowering episode about resilience, redefining success, backing yourself, and pushing for a better future for us, and for the next generation.
