Now we’re talking.

Perrie is a paid research panel for women in a big life change. We find the patterns across our stories and share them with the people designing products, care and workplaces for us.

How Perrie works.

  1. 1 · You talk

    We start with a longer chat to get to know you and where you’re at in life, and then a short check-in each month to see what’s changing. An AI moderator allows you to do this on your own time and each conversation is paid.

  2. 2 · We find the patterns

    We look across our voices to see what we have in common, and where our needs and wants differ.

  3. 3 · We share what we learn

    We share our own findings. Companies, employers and health organizations can also pay Perrie for deeper research.

Why we’re doing this.

Our friends get it. They echo what we’re going through and tell us we’re not imagining it. But at the doctor’s office, at work and in the products and services meant to support us, many women still don’t feel heard.

Much of what women go through is also left out of research and can be seen in the numbers.

What we’ll ask you.

We’re talking with women 18 and over in the US, in the middle of one of these:

  • Deciding if or when to have kids
  • A career shift or transition
  • Pregnancy and early motherhood
  • Caring for a loved one
  • Perimenopause or menopause
  • Nearing or newly in retirement
  • A health condition or diagnosis

Here’s a sample of what we’ll ask. The conversations go wherever you take them.

1Your first conversation20–30 min

Getting to know you, and the change you’re in the middle of.

  • The openerWhat’s the best thing that’s happened to you this week? Big or tiny.
  • The bragWhat have you pulled off lately that you’re proud of? Maybe it went unseen.
  • The rantThirty seconds to rant about a time recently you haven’t felt heard. Anything goes.
  • The part nobody seesFrom the outside, people see one version of your life. What’s the part nobody sees?

2Monthly check-ins5–10 min

What’s changed since last time.

  • Picking upLast time, you said a big appointment was coming up. How did it go?
  • The lifesaverWhat’s one thing that made this month easier? A person, a product, a tiny habit, anything.
