   Georgia Mourad Brooks, The Nine: Is The F-Word Still A Dirty Word?

   What does it really mean to create space for women to lead, connect, and thrive? In this episode of She Owns The Stage, I sit down with Georgia Mourad Brooks, founder and CEO of The Nine, Belgium’s first female focused private business club. We talk about entrepreneurship, feminism, leadership, quiet confidence, and the realities of building a mission driven business in a world that still questions whether women deserve spaces designed for them. Georgia opens up about launching The Nine during Covid, being told “women in Belgium don’t want this,” navigating entrepreneurship while pregnant, and why she believes progress only happens when people actively fight for it. This conversation also dives deep into: • Why feminism is still misunderstood • The rise of anti feminist discourse and the “manosphere” • Building confidence and presence without being the loudest person in the room • Entrepreneurship, resilience, and rejection • Women’s leadership and community building • Creating spaces where women can truly belong • The importance of self awareness and owning your strengths • Why The Nine became a sanctuary for so many women and allies Georgia also shares her thoughts on visibility, public speaking, ambition, and what it really takes to build something meaningful from scratch. -- She Owns The Stage is the go-to podcast for women who are ready to speak with power, lead with presence, and own every stage they step onto: whether it’s a microphone, a panel, a pitch, or a boardroom.
