When Catherine Gray Met Healthy Gal: A “Show Her The Money” Moment
A founder story about women building, women backing women, and the moment our electrolytes sparked a conversation bigger than hydration.
Some moments stop you mid-sip. This was one of them.
At Built to Lead, a room full of women founders, funders, and the people cheering them on, I, Adunn, the gal behind Healthy Gal, had the kind of encounter you do not forget.
Catherine Gray, Executive Producer of Show Her The Money and CEO of She Angel Investors, walked over to our sampling station, tried our electrolytes, and lit up.
It is the kind of compliment that lands twice. Once in the moment, and again every time you remember it. Because Catherine is not just being kind. She has spent her career fighting to put capital, attention, and credit in the hands of women builders.
When she says it takes a woman, she means it.
I told her about Healthy Gal, why we built it, who we built it for, and the obsession with making wellness feel beautiful and accessible. She got it instantly. She has built her whole life around getting it.
Who is Catherine Gray?
Catherine Gray is a force in the women-investing-in-women movement. She is the founder and CEO of She Angel Investors, a TEDx speaker, an author, and the host of the Invest In Her podcast, where she spotlights phenomenal female founders and the funders backing them.
Her mission is simple and urgent: women receive less than 3% of venture capital funding. Catherine is here to change that by connecting capital to founders, telling the stories that have been missed, and making sure the next generation of women builders has a path she helped pave.
About Show Her The Money
Show Her The Money is the award-winning documentary Catherine executive produced, shining a light on the women redefining venture capital. The film follows four visionary entrepreneurs as they fight to turn their ideas into reality, alongside the game-changing women investors backing them.
The film features Sharon Gless, Elizabeth Banks, and Catherine herself. It has been on a 100-city worldwide tour and has earned five Best Documentary Feature awards on the festival circuit.
Why this matters: When women fund women, products like Healthy Gal exist. The film is a primer, a rallying cry, and honestly, a great Friday night watch with a glass of electrolytes in hand.
Why Healthy Gal Cares About This Story
Healthy Gal exists because women deserve wellness that is built for us, by us. Hydration that tastes good. Rituals that fit a real life. A brand that talks to you like a friend, not a fitness tracker.
Catherine’s reaction was a reminder of something we believe deeply:
- Women notice the details other founders miss.
- Women-led brands solve problems with empathy at the center.
- When women back women, with capital, attention, or even a thumbs-up at a sampling table, entire categories shift.
So if you are reading this and you are a founder, a funder, or just a gal who wants to see more women win, support the film, subscribe to the podcast, and share the brands.
Your dollar is a vote. Your share is a megaphone. And your sip of electrolytes might just be a tiny act of solidarity.
