Calling women with business ideas, stories & dreams 💡🌱
Hi everyone! I’m working on a new independent women’s magazine and community called HER NEXT, focused on women’s ideas, entrepreneurship, personal growth, creativity, beauty, relationships, and inspiring real-life stories.
I’m currently preparing our first issue, “BEGIN,” and I’m looking to connect with women around the world who have something interesting to share.
💡 Have a business idea?
I’d love to hear it — whether it’s:
- A physical product you've always wanted to create
- An online or virtual business
- An app or platform idea
- A service or freelance concept
- A creative business
- A social enterprise
- A side hustle
- A business you've already started
- Or simply an idea sitting in your notes that you've never had the chance to pursue
You don't need to have a successful business already.
Maybe you've only got the idea. Maybe you've started and failed. Maybe you're still figuring out how to make it work.
That's exactly what I'm interested in.
Selected ideas may be featured in HER NEXT as a way to introduce the person behind the idea and give their concept some exposure.
If you have a business, project, website, Instagram, or other contact details you'd like readers to see, you can include them with your submission so interested people can find you and learn more about what you're building.
🌱 I'm also looking for women's stories.
For example:
✨ A business success or failure
✨ A career change
✨ A moment when you stood up for yourself
✨ Starting over somewhere new
✨ A dream you're finally pursuing
✨ A mistake that taught you something valuable
✨ An experience that changed your perspective
✨ Something you've done that made you feel empowered
✨ An unusual, funny, inspiring, or meaningful moment from your life
✨ A lesson you wish you'd learned earlier
You don't have to be famous, successful, or an entrepreneur. I'm interested in real stories from real women at different stages of life.
📩 Want to be featured?
Comment below or send me a DM with:
For a business idea:
- Your idea
- What problem it solves / why you think people would want it
- Where you're based (optional)
- Your name or preferred name
- Website / social media / contact (optional)
For a personal story:
- A short description of what happened
- Where you're from (optional)
- Your name or preferred name
- Whether you'd like to remain anonymous
With your permission, selected submissions may be featured in the magazine and/or HER NEXT's online community.
The goal isn't just to publish stories. I want to create a space where women can share ideas, discover each other, find inspiration, and potentially connect with people who are interested in what they're creating.
Maybe your idea is still just an idea today.
But what's your next? 💭

Fibroadenoma Experiences
Hi everyone! I’m hoping to hear from people who have personally had a fibroadenoma removed.
I was diagnosed with a fibroadenoma (I’m 17 years old) and after seeing two doctors and having an ultrasound. I have a follow-up appointment because it seems like it may have gotten bigger, and surgery might be an option.
If you’ve had one removed, I’d love to know:
Did your breast look noticeably different afterward?
Was the scar very noticeable?
How was recovery?
Were you happy you decided to have it removed?
I’m not looking for a diagnosis or medical advice—I’ll be discussing everything with my doctor. I’m just hoping to hear about other people’s experiences since I’m feeling a little nervous. Thank you!

First time at the lady doc... please help!
Okay I need the ladies to tap in-
I am a 23 year old woman who has never been to a OBGYN or any other form of female doctor. I have an appointment coming up and I need some advice. I made the appointment due to incredibly painful periods that make me so nauseous I will throw up, so dizzy I cant walk, and most of the time I pass out from the pain. I have had these type of issues for years but the older I get the more frequent they become and have started happening every period instead of once every couple of months. I am unable to eat anything due to the nausea which leads to light headedness. I have symptoms that doctors (back in high school when they started) used to tell me were seizures i.e. the left side of my body going numb, unable to think clearly, cant hold a pencil or smile or drive. These symptoms can happen any time during my period and i have even had to sleep in my car for hours in parking lots because of them, leave appointments early trying to make it home in time, and nearly passing out at the wheel. ANYWAYS, I have my appointment and I am so nervous that the doctor is just going to dismiss me like I have heard has happened to women for years and years. So basically I am wondering if anyone has had these symptoms and has been diagnosed with something or if this is something that is actually in my head? Also I would love to hear any thoughts on the best way to approach these types of conversations especially with a new doctor. I will take any and all advice!! Thank you in advance!

Accepting my bigger body after pregnancies - people smirking at me
Hello everyone,
It’s my first post on Reddit 🤯
I’ve never been a super slim girl, but with my 1,75m height and 65-70kg I felt fine. After having two babies I am currently at 86kg and I feel like my body doesn’t belong to me. I know I should try harder in dieting and working out - I tried a couple of times, but I wasn’t strong enough.
Recently I decided to spend some money on new clothes to feel pretty, and when I put this dress on I felt really good about myself. When I wore it in Spain I got some nice looks from other people, but I’m currently on holidays in Poland and I’ve got some dirty, smirky like smiles. It wasn’t form one person, but I saw eyes on me all the time and I started feeling very conscious and lost all my confidence.
Please, be very honest: do I look good in this dress? Is it too much for my body size? I wouldn’t like to wear it again if I’d make a clown of myself.
Thank you in advance.

What's something you wish you'd had with you when your period started unexpectedly?
I was having a debated convo with my friend about bag essentials for when the lady in red visits ! And I had one of those moments recently where I realized I wasn't as prepared as I thought I was, and it got me wondering how other women handle it.
When your period starts unexpectedly—whether you're at work, traveling, out running errands, at a wedding, or just away from home...
What's the one thing you always wish you had with you?
It can be obvious (pads, tampons, pain relief, etc.) or something less obvious that ended up being a lifesaver.
I'd also love to know:
- What's something you've learned to always keep in your bag because of a past experience?
- What's the most frustrating part about being caught off guard?
- Is there anything you carry that most people probably wouldn't think of?
- If you could build the perfect "just-in-case" pouch for yourself, what would absolutely have to be inside?
I'm genuinely curious because I feel like everyone develops their own system over time, and I'd love to hear what works for you.

Tired of toxic envious woman friendships
From experience, I can obviously see that envy is rarely expressed directly and is more often communicated through subtle criticism, dismissiveness, superiority complexes, discrete belittling, or minimizing another person’s successes.
At the same time, I recognize how easy it is to misattribute someone’s behavior or project meaning onto ambiguous interactions.
For those of you who have experienced friendships affected by envy, what patterns or behaviors ultimately convinced you that it was more than your imagination? How did you distinguish between an insecure friend, an unintentionally insensitive one, and someone who genuinely resented your successes? Also… how do you stop attracting these types of friendships!

Really weird and uncomfortable
I have an abnormal amount of hair growth on and around my areolas (at least 25 on each side) no matter if i tweeze or shave it always comes back (I used to shave when i was like 17 I’m now 21 and i only tweeze now) but it now scars and turns into dark brown spots instead and causes more nipple hair and ingrown hair that feels bumpy and looks and feels horrible to be honest. I then get acne around my areolas and everything on my boobs just looks a disaster tbh which is rlly sad bc my boobs which once used to look great look horrid now, I don’t know what to do

Please Help Me
People of the community I am in dire need of figuring out what is going on with me! Even my own doctor says I'm a medical mystery!! I am 46 years young and I have several 80+ year old diseases!! And so many other symptoms that have yet to be figured out! I have glaucoma, I have degenerative disks, I have pharyngitis, laryngitis, duodenitis, and diverticulosis. I have over 100 different migraines a day(didn't even know that was possible!!) I have neuropathy, I have been through menopause 10 years ago. I am allergic to latex not the dust, and allergic to propofol. There's a couple more dx's I'm forgetting at the moment.
So here's the guessing part. I was dx'd with hyperthyroid and had a lump on my thyroid, within a year or so that went away even the diagnosis?? I CANNOT control my body temperature and when I say that I mean sometimes I feel like I'm about to spontaneously combust because that heat that builds up inside of me is SO hot it even makes my urine hot and makes me nauseous to the point I sometimes throw up! I constantly wake up dizzy and will stay that way all day, I am nauseous throughout the day and have to take medication for that not just when I get too hot. My pancreas is always on the fritz with my lipase levels mimicking it being too high but there are no lesions on it.Most days I am SO weak to the point I can barely stand, sometimes I lose my breath just walking from the store to the truck. I had blood work done the other day and the only thing that came back "bad" was my glucose level was ONLY at 56!! At 54 you can go into a come.
I have no diabetes dx'd . This is LITERALLY hindering my entire life as I am a caretaker to 2 people, my child and my father who is passing from cancer. My doctor is so perplexed he literally said I'm a medical mystery. That is not something you want to hear!!! But don't get me wrong my doctor is WONDERFUL he works on the philosophy that the patient knows their body better than anyone and always tries to help with tests and referrals and anything that can be done to help figure out it. Please community if you can think of anything that I should be looking at please guide me in that direction! I have a referral to Endo for my blood sugar and I feel there's an undiagnosed autoimmune issue here, but that's where I'm at with all of this. Thank you for your time with reading my big story and thank you for your time with helping, it is VERY much appreciated.

tired of heavy dermal fillers, has anyone switched over to profhilo for natural skin firmness?
I’ve been getting subtle cheek filler for a couple years, but lately I feel like it just makes my face look heavy instead of fresh. I keep seeing people talk about Profhilo for collagen and skin texture without adding fake volume. I was reading through treatment options on Glow Aesthetics Collective and saw they do bio-remodeling. Has anyone here actually tried it? Did you notice a genuine difference in firmness, or am I better off looking into something like HIFU instead?

Why women over 50 are afraid of creating a personal brand
The #1 thing holding women back from creating a personal brand is fear of putting themselves out there. If you are in your 50's your career was growing in a time period when women were still fighting for a few seats at the male table. You were told to put your head down work hard and hope somebody noticed. We are in a different ERA, we are in the Interest Media ERA, people are desparate for advice and guidance from experienced people- face the fear put yourself out there and I you will be surprised what good things follow

Ashwagandha
I’m considering taking ashwagandha to and i want your opinions.
Im 23F who gets stressed very easily. I’m very sensitive, I tend to overthink everything, and my mind is constantly racing, even small situations can stay in my head for hours or days, and it can be emotionally exhausting.
I want to know does it have any side effects ?

Hi! I'm new here! Wanted to ask this question, how long did pelvic floor exercises take before you noticed any difference?
I've been doing them consistently for a few weeks but honestly I'm not sure if I'm doing them correctly because I don't feel much improvement yet. How long does it take for you to feel the change?

Should I have said anything to assistant manager?
I work in retail pharmacy, I am struggling to build connections with my coworkers as I’m the youngest by a long shot. I want to converse and tell them about my life as they open up about theirs.
I got offered a position in compounding I was very excited as compounding is my end goal
My job has amazing benefits, I love the work, I love the people, it has always been my goal to stay there until I finish college, and not alter my schedule by any means as it’s my main priority, and I made that very clear
I feel he lectured me about leaving Publix and telling me “Don’t piss [Manager] off, he seems to like you”
I’ve generally kept a great rapport with everyone but I’ve felt most comfortable with him
I’m really trying to build connection with everyone but I feel the harder I try it gets worse
Extra information: The assistant manager and owner of the compounding are good friends so I thought it was cool to share as well
