📆Once a month | Free coworking + community conversations
Join us for Woman-Owned Wednesdays, a monthly collaboration between Woman-Owned Wallet and Story Louisville, designed to connect, inspire, and support women-owned businesses, founders, and the coworking curious.
✨9 AM – 5 PM | Free Coworking Day
Story is opening its doors for a full day of free coworking for women entrepreneurs and allies. Bring your laptop, your dreams, and your to-do list, and we’ll bring the coffee, community, and collaborative energy.
💬Throughout the Day | Office Hours with Amanda Dare
Stop by for a free “Pick My Brain” session with Amanda Dare, founder of Woman-Owned Wallet, an entrepreneur who has owned six businesses over the past 16 years and hosts Woman-Owned Wallet: The Podcast (ranked in the Top 100 Money Podcasts on Goodpods). Whether you’re building a brand or brainstorming your next step, Amanda is here for the honest, open conversations that fuel business growth.
During office hours, you can also learn about The WOW Directory, the #1 woman-owned business directory in the country. This searchable online resource connects customers, shoppers, and collaborators with woman-owned brands across the U.S. Add your business to the directory to increase visibility, boost SEO, and join a nationwide sisterhood of entrepreneurs putting more money into the wallets of women.
🛍️Featured Pop-Up Business
Each month, a woman-owned business from the WOW community will pop up inside Story to showcase and sell their products. These featured founders will also be highlighted on WOW and Story’s social channels, amplifying their voices to our shared audiences.
🧸 We partnered with Skidaddle to offer 2 hours of free childcare right down the street. Because this is your time—to focus, to build, to show up for what you're creating without compromise.
💰 5 – 7 PM | The Vault Conversation: Let’s Talk Money
As the workday winds down, we’ll gather inThe Vault for an intimate, judgment-free conversation about money, the wins, the worries, and everything in between. We’ll start by taking a pledge to keep all discussions private so everyone can speak openly and safely.
Some months will feature guest experts, and others will be led by Amanda Dare, including her signature “Marry, Kiss, Kill: Business Funding Workshop,” where she helps you spot red and green flags when it comes to funding your business.
Story exists to help people rise, connect, create community, have fun, encourage, support, and serve. We do this for the underdog, for future generations, for Louisville. We do this because we love people, because we are grateful, because it’s our legacy and it’s fun. We do it so that we can make a meaningful impact, share and set examples based on values, spread courage, operate out of love, passion, and joy.
This event is more than networking, it’s a sisterhood of women investing in themselves, their communities, and their futures. According to the World Bank, women invest up to 90% of their income back into their local community. So when women talk about money openly, every wallet wins.
