This is a weekly podcast about AI, leadership, and the future of tech, hosted from a female founder’s perspective.
Each week, we sit down with the founders, executives, and builders shaping what’s next in AI and technology. From practical automation tips to big-picture conversations about the future of work, this show cuts through the hype and gives you what you actually need to know.
Whether you’re a founder, an aspiring entrepreneur, or a professional trying to stay ahead of the curve, Women Lead AI meets you where you are - no jargon, no gatekeeping, just real conversations with the people who are doing the work.
New episodes every Tuesday.
Ep 10 I How to Build a Career AI Can't Replace | Laurie Wang
Laurie Wang spent over a decade at Google and Meta teaching professionals and small businesses how to use new technology. When her clients started asking about AI, she followed them. Today she is the founder of Modern Skill AI, a keynote speaker and a YouTube creator with over 200,000 subscribers.
In this episode, Wiktoria and Laurie talk about why your point of view is the one thing AI can't copy, how to become the AI champion in your company, how to use AI tools safely, the 3 Ps behind her 200K channel, and why women adopt AI 25% less than men (and what to do about it). If you have never opened ChatGPT or Claude, stay for the end: Laurie shares the two simple tools she'd start with tonight.

How To Validate A Startup With 50 Flyers | Ep 9. Mariana De la Rosa & Jackelinne Vaillard
What if you could actually see yourself growing?
When you go to the gym, you see muscles. When you journal every day, you see nothing. Mariana De la Rosa and Jackelinne Vaillard wanted to change that. They're industrial engineers from Mexico studying at KAUST in Saudi Arabia, and together they're building NoorSense: an AI-guided journaling app paired with a smart flower on your desk that opens and changes colour as you look after your mind.
In this episode of Women Lead AI we go straight into the business side.
We talk about what they're building, how they checked the need was real, what they got wrong, and how they plan to get people to find it, use it and pay for it.

Ep. 7 I "90% of People Who Say They'll Buy It, Won't": The Hardest Lesson in Startups I ft. Simona Todorova
Simona started her career in particle physics, winning a national competition to intern at CERN in Geneva at 17. After a physics degree at the University of Manchester and a role as a data scientist at IBM working on AI across automotive, nuclear, and government sectors, she left in August 2025 to co-found Tailored, an AI-powered styling and shopping assistant built on one conviction: poor decision-making drives overconsumption, and AI should improve the decision, not fuel the spending.

Ep. 6 She Turned Over £1 Million in Her Second Year (Only 1 in 100 Female Founders Do This) ft. Aime Ayrehart
Aime Ayrehart spent over two decades in senior HR roles across the NHS, local government, and the private sector, until she blew the whistle on a chief exec, got suspended on full pay for 14 months, sued her employer, and lost in court. She wrote a book naming names anyway, then built Aime, an AI tool designed to give HR people the psychological and legal judgment that most of them were never trained to have.
In this episode, we talk about why 90% of HR professionals say they have not had enough psychology training, why the cost of unresolved workplace conflict is estimated at £2 billion a year, how the language in a dismissal letter can completely change how someone experiences being let go, and why she believes empathy, not procedure, is the thing most organisations are missing.
We also get into what it actually took to build an AI HR product as a non technical founder, why arguing with AI is oddly satisfying, the difference between NLP as neuro-linguistic programming and NLP as natural language processing, and why she thinks founders wait far too long to bring in proper HR support.
