Founder's Diaries : THE MONEY TALK
Founders’ Diaries Lounge Series
Series 02: MONEY 101 — The Money Talk 💗💸
Dear Founder,
Let’s talk about something scary.
Your numbers. 👀
Not the cute revenue screenshot. Not the dream funding amount. Not what you hope the business is making.
We mean the real numbers.
What’s coming in? What’s going out? What are you keeping? And is what you’re building actually financially sustainable?
On October 30, 2026, the Founders’ Diaries Lounge Series returns for MONEY 101: The Money Talk 💗
An intimate evening for women building businesses, nonprofits, and ideas they want to last.
We’re bringing together founder education, honest conversation, industry insight, and the warmth of the Lounge to make money feel a little less intimidating — and a lot more understandable.
Because a beautiful vision still needs healthy numbers underneath it. 🌸
The Money Talk 💸
Money can be one of the most uncomfortable parts of being a founder.
So we’re talking about it.
Pricing. Profit. Cash flow. Funding. Budgeting. Financial sustainability.
And the very important difference between making money and actually building something financially healthy.
No financial shame. 💗
No pretending you already know everything.
No being afraid to ask the “basic” question.
Just practical education, honest conversations, and women learning how to become more confident with the money behind what they build.
What to Expect 💗
Inside the Lounge, you can expect:
practical founder education around money and financial decision-making
conversations about pricing, revenue, expenses, profit, cash flow, and funding
insights from women and professionals who understand the realities of building
honest conversations about our relationship with money as women and founders
practical tools you can take back into your business or organization
intentional networking and meaningful founder connections
the intimate Founder’s Diaries atmosphere you already know and love 🌸
space to ask the money questions you’ve been scared to ask
You do not need to be a finance expert.
You do not need to have everything figured out.
You just need to be willing to look at the numbers. 💸
Who This Is For 🌸
MONEY 101 is for the woman who builds.
The early-stage business owner trying to price properly.
The nonprofit founder trying to understand funding and sustainability.
The founder making sales but quietly wondering...
“Okay, but where is the money actually going?” 😭
The woman with an idea who wants to understand money before she starts.
And the experienced founder who knows it’s time to build a healthier financial foundation.
Whether you are building for profit or impact, there is a seat for you in this conversation. 💗
Limited Lounge Experience 💗
We’re keeping the Lounge the way it was always meant to be:
