What happens when a high-performing woman finally decides to build what she actually needs?

In this episode, I sit down with Meg Gold, Co-Founder and CEO of BONDE, a private, vetted community for women decision-makers to talk about the parts of leadership we don't talk about enough: vulnerability, identity shifts, and the quiet courage it takes to bet on yourself.

Meg shares the deeply personal story behind BONDE's founding, from navigating IVF to leaving corporate leadership and the unexpected ways women at the top still struggle to find real connection. We explore what women in leadership are truly missing (spoiler: it's not more mentorship), and how BONDE is reimagining community for women who don't fit into traditional boxes.

If you've ever looked around a boardroom or business community and thought, "This wasn't built for me," - this conversation will feel like a homecoming.
