Tune in and slow the F down! - with Magdalena Jensen

In this very special episode we talk about our new project 'She told me a story' - an open mic meet-up in Malmö where women with diverse backgrounds will come to meet & share their stories over coffee & wine in a safe and supportive environment. We are creating a networking event that enables real human connections, beyond 30 second pitches and polished LinkedIn profiles. A space where women will find friends, community, and belonging.  We also discuss how we can transform our communities, build real connections and that it's time we allowed ourselves to show up as we are.   About Ashley Schilling: Ashley is an American expat living & a proud career changer who took a leap in her 30s to pursue an interest in content creation and marketing. Last year, she found her footing in the Malmö startup community when she joined Skåne Startups, where she co-organized Women in Entrepreneurship meetups and The Drop, Climate tech conference. Currently, she's focused on building a supportive community for women in tech and foreign-born women living in Malmö. Connect with Ashley here.
