Podium is a private community where women navigate life’s transitions — career shifts, identity changes, new chapters — through intimate gatherings and real conversations. We focus on genuine connection, the kind that reminds you who you are beyond your job title or relationship status. It’s a space to show up as your full self and be met by women who get it.

Why we

Exist

We've changed life stages, careers, and countries — and even when we return “home,” we’ve outgrown the molds shaped by conditioning and expectation. Somewhere along the way, we stopped leaning on one another. The village that once held us was replaced by a culture that glorifies self-sufficiency, even as the weight we carry has grown heavier.

Podium helps you remember. Through intimate gatherings with women in similar transitions, you practice vulnerability, authentic connection, and mutual growth — rebuilding the village you deserve, one gathering at a time.

We’ve forgotten what real support feels like. We network instead of relate.

Why did we create Podium?

Podium emerged from our own experiences navigating non-linear career paths, personal growth, and life transitions.

Having left our jobs independently in 2023, we reconnected through a mutual friend and our shared passion for building an impactful female-focused community.

Our story is proof that when women come together with purpose, exciting things can take shape. We hope to have you with us on this journey.
