FSC fangirls: You’re invited to join our private group chat (free) → https://forms.gle/zVr3Dt9CKGPVg55r7
Today’s episode is a little different! I'm actively looking for FSC fangirls (aka you). The women who've been listening for years, who've slipped into my DMs, left reviews, told a friend about an episode that sparked something... Our hype girls. Because we're launching something new, FSC 2.0, and I want you to be part of it :)
Here's what I’m sharing with you:
Why FSC started as a way to figure out what I wanted to do with my life (and how that's evolving now)
The moment I realized I'd outgrown the "startup" label (but didn't need to burn the whole thing down)
What FSC 2.0 actually is: the go-to show for modern women building a life that’s super rich in health, wealth & collected wisdom
Why I'm launching a private group chat and IRL events (and how you can be part of it)

What if the brain fog, the mood swings, and the exhaustion you're dismissing as "just stress" is actually perimenopause... and you're only 37?

This is a conversation from our full length episode with Dr. Amandeep Hansra on Female Startup Club, where she's getting brutally honest about the thing most doctors still won't tell you: perimenopause can start in your 30s. And the tests we're using to diagnose it? They're basically useless.

In this conversation, Dr. Amandeep opens up about why a single blood test won't tell you if you're perimenopausal (your hormones fluctuate minute to minute), why she had to see three doctors before getting HRT prescribed (as a doctor herself), and the 2000s study that created a generation of women too scared to take hormones that could actually help them live longer.

I wanted to know:

Why we can't diagnose perimenopause with a blood test (and what we actually need)

What the HRT scare of the early 2000s got wrong and why doctors are still scared to prescribe it

How to find a doctor who won't dismiss your symptoms as anxiety

This one is for the woman who's been told "it's just stress" or "maybe it's anxiety" when she knows something deeper is going on in her body.

What does an NFL sports agent have in common with a Taylor Swift fitness community?
Alexy Posner has spent 10 years building the personal brands of top NFL players. She's also the founder of Swiftie Liftie Club, a Taylor Swift-themed fitness community that now draws 400+ people per event. And the thing she wants every founder to know? Saying no is where the leverage actually lives...
In this episode:
Why your follower count matters less than your audience clarity when pitching brand deals
How to use the "so what" question to cut through trend-chasing and build a community brands actually want

Dr. Amandeep Hansra is a practicing GP, co-founder of Medical Angels (34 investments and counting), and one of Australia's most vocal advocates for closing the gender gap in medicine and health investment. But what she really wants you to know about women's health surprised me.. because the biggest breakthroughs aren't coming from billion-dollar labs. They're coming from women who got fed up and built something.
In this chat with Female Startup Club, Dr. Amandeep gets refreshingly honest about why medicine still gets women wrong, what the HRT scare of the early 2000s actually showed us, and how she ended up with insulin resistance despite doing "all the right things."
I wanted to know:
Why she had to see three doctors before getting HRT prescribed (as a doctor herself)
What GLP-1s like Ozempic actually do to muscle and bone in women
The free tool she recommends for researching your own health (not ChatGPT!)
This one is for the woman who's ever left a doctor's appointment feeling dismissed, and is ready to advocate harder for herself.

This is an interview originally published on the Unstoppable Podcast by Jess Williamson.
I'm chatting with her about how you can build real influence and a network that opens doors to bigger opportunities, partnerships and income. And how I did it with Female Startup Club, one of the world’s leading female founder podcasts and communities. "Doone has interviewed hundreds of founders, built a global network, landed major opportunities through relationships and turned conversations into real influence, access, and income."
Every topic we yap about in this conversation:
Here's the list reframed so every bullet answers "what do I get from this?":
Why most big opportunities come from who you know (and how to become that person)
How to show up unapologetically (and why it attracts the right people)
How to know when it's time to pivot your business
How to do the thing you're terrified of — even when you feel allergic to it
How to land sponsors and paid deals with a tiny audience (the exact pitch strategy behind a $25K deal at 2,000 downloads)
The "minimum audience size" myths to ignore before you monetize
How to turn conversations into a business model
How to reverse-engineer any opportunity — Forbes lists, TED talks, grants, speaking gigs
Why you should pitch the person, not the company (and how to find their KPIs)
The exact question to ask when you don't know what value you can offer
How to pitch without desperate energy — the seagull & the chip mindset shift
What founders with $650M and $1.2B exits have in common
The mindset pattern that separates women who make it from women who stay stuck
How rooms like Davos actually work — and how to get into rooms like them
The #1 strategy for building a powerful network when you don't know anyone
Why partnering with brands at your level beats chasing the big ones
How to build influence and authority without a huge following
Where to find other women operating at your level
