We can build incredible relationships online, but there is still something irreplaceable about being in the same room.

In this conversation, Stephanie Jill Cartin and I talk about the role in-person experiences have played in growing Entreprenista | Community for Women Founders and why gathering face-to-face can deepen trust, accelerate relationships, and turn an online audience into a real community.

The internet may help us find one another, but getting together in person is often where the most meaningful connections begin.

What does it really take to build a company, a community, and a life that can hold your ambition?

This week on Cultivate, I’m joined by Stephanie Jill Cartin for an honest conversation about scaling businesses, building Entreprenista | Community for Women Founders into a community of more than 4,500 women founders, expanding women’s access to capital, and continuing to lead through some of life’s most difficult seasons.

What I loved most about this conversation is Stephanie’s willingness to show that ambition and vulnerability can exist in the same room. Her story is a powerful reminder that the strongest businesses are often built through relationships, resilience, and a willingness to keep evolving.

NEW EPISODE 🩷

Today’s guest is someone I’ve admired from afar for a long time, so getting to finally sit down with Stephanie Jill Cartin felt incredibly special.

Stephanie is an award-winning entrepreneur, community builder, author, podcast host, and Co-Founder of Entreprenista | Community for Women Founders, a leading media platform and membership community empowering more than 4,500 women founders.

From scaling multiple companies and advocating for women’s access to capital to openly sharing her experiences with Multiple Sclerosis, infertility, and motherhood, Stephanie has built her career by turning her own experiences into opportunities for other women to feel seen, supported, and less alone.

She is also the ultimate business cheerleader, and this conversation is a powerful reminder of what becomes possible when ambitious women have the right community behind them.
