Your membership unlocks pod matching, unlimited affinity groups, virtual events and local events where available, a private moderated community, weekly prompts and recommendations, and the ability to find members near you (and when you travel).

A pod is a small group match of 10 women designed for deeper connection and consistency. Pods make it easier to go from chatting to real plans. We facilitate your first session and help you connect from there.

Yes — and you'll both benefit. When you invite a friend and she joins, you earn $10 credit applied automatically to your next invoice. There's no limit, so every friend who joins keeps earning you credit. Your friend gets $20 off her first month after her 1-month trial.

Matching uses what you share about your interests, life stage, and preferences to connect you with women who are likely to click with you.

Once a friend you've referred completes her 1-month trial and becomes a paying member, $10 is automatically added to your account as a credit — no action needed on your part. It applies directly to your next invoice. Credits stack, so the more friends you bring in, the more you earn toward free membership.

Affinity groups are themed groups around interests and life stage. Think book clubs, pet lovers, travel inspiration, and more.

Both. All members have access to virtual events from day one. In-person events are currently active in Boston, Phoenix, and the Bay Area, with more cities on the way.
