I can't tell you how many opportunities I've had because of WAWO
”I’ve had speaking engagements, increased revenue on my products, and people have followed me on social media just to let me know that I’ve inspired them and that they’re excited to support my company. It has really been amazing.
Plus, I can trace $25k directly back to WAWO – most of our yoga mat sales come from the WAWO community!

WAWO is truly life-changing
”There are many communities out there, but you don’t often find one like WAWO – most are led by founders who hide behind the brand and are never accessible. But not WAWO! Lisa is such a genuine soul, and she also attracts very genuine, caring, and ambitious women, which is so special.
Back in 2021, I signed my very first client via WAWO. When I launched my business retreat, a member of the WAWO community was among the first to sign up. Eventually, thanks to WAWO’s events, I was able to expand my network enough to launch my first NYC event.
Overall, throughout the years, I have made $5,000 in revenue thanks to WAWO!
— Vanessa Farino, Founder of Creative CEO

”When I joined the WAWO Network, I was drawn to the variety: the workshops, the community app, and the coworking.
It’s been very good for my brand awareness, and I’ve connected with people I wouldn’t normally have the chance to. I’ve signed clients, had people join my email list, and received amazing support from Lisa within my own business.

The ah-ha moments, events, and connections with other business owners have been a game changer for my brand
”I love the “sisterhood” feel. The community is there when I need them, and there’s no judgment in how I show up – only that I do.
It can be a challenge to be seen and heard, especially as a minority business owner… but the way we’re presented via WAWO lends even more credibility for other media and visibility opportunities.
— Vanessa Ungvarsky, Founder of Taylor Made Polish
Here, we’re all about using our connections, platforms, and resources to help women-owned businesses gain visibility – while also making it easy for values-driven customers to discover and buy from them!
Why? Because I understand the highs and lows that come with starting – and building – a business all too well!
Back in the early days of my business, finding community was a struggle. I needed a place where I could feel comfortable asking questions and leaning on people who truly understood what I was going through.
And, since I was just starting out and didn’t have much extra money at my disposal, I needed a community that was both accessible *and* affordable.
Did something like that even exist? Apparently no, it did not! So, when I couldn’t find the community I needed, I decided to just create it. That’s how the WAWO Sisterhood was born.
Later, when the COVID-19 pandemic brought our beloved in-person events to a screeching halt, I knew brands needed a way to keep building personal connections with their customers. Meanwhile, consumers also wanted a way to make values-aligned purchasing fun and easy. Enter: the WAWO Small Business Directory.
Now, the most magical pieces of the WAWO Sisterhood and the WAWO Small Business Directory are coming together to form the latest evolution of the WAWO Network.
It’s where you’ll find community, education, support, careful curation, and accelerated visibility opportunities – all in one dreamy network that offers women entrepreneurs the tools they need to succeed at every stage of their business journey. 🥰️
The virtual meetings to check in on each other have been a huge benefit for me. Plus, I met my very first collaboration partner and my business coach through WAWO!
”Online communities are ok as long as people are active, but it’s so much easier to stop showing up if all you have is text.
I love that WAWO has regular meetings and there’s a gathering at least once a week. As someone who has worked from home since 2017, that was so needed and missing from my day-to-day.
— Carla Farina, Founder of eddys brand

Right now, membership is offered month-to-month. We may offer an annual membership option in the future.

What we can promise, though, is that Team WAWO will do everything in our power to help you increase your visibility while inspiring and encouraging our community – and the general public – to shop and support women-owned brands (including yours!).
The WAWO Network does NOT involve a Facebook group – yay! We actually custom-built the WAWO Network and Directory interface based 100% on the community’s needs. 😎
That means you won’t have any fussy algorithms to deal with. No getting distracted by photos of your friend’s adorable puppy/baby/house and forgetting why you got online in the first place. No accidentally seeing your uncle’s latest conspiracy theory and disturbing your inner peace for the next three days.

There's so much support within the group – the WAWO Network is truly a place where I feel like everyone is there to see each other win
”Sometimes it’s the simple things like being able to commiserate about shared issues that come up while running a business. It makes such a difference to know that it’s not ‘just you’ or ‘your fault’ when in reality, many – if not all – other entrepreneurs are also dealing with the same challenges and obstacles.
Normalizing the challenges that have come up in my business has helped develop and bolster my confidence as an entrepreneur. As such, I’ve continued to push my boundaries and make big decisions that have led to significant personal and financial growth over the last year.
