Fifteen minutes a week with women in the middle of building something that matters...a startup, a career, a family, a comeback, a community. No polished origin stories. No tidy endings. Real stories about the build, and progress, the challenges, and what's to come!

Most stories about women who build arrive after the fact, once everything is funded, framed, and photogenic.
Not here!
It lives in the "in between" stages that matter, with women who are still in it, still doing the work. Six questions, and an ask to the audience to support the next steps.
Don't let perfectly polished communication or a finished pitch deck be a gatekeeper. Come as you are!
Socratyc Stories is for women who are mid build. Not the version of you that has it all figured out. The version of you that woke up this morning and went again anyway. If any of these sound like you, there is a seat at this table.
