Daria is the founder and host of the WAA Podcast. Raised in a family environment that valued community involvement, she was exposed to a diverse range of creative minds from an early age, sparking her passion for meaningful conversation and connection, resulting in the pursuit of learning and discovery.

Driven by a genuine desire to create intimate spaces for women to engage in thoughtful dialogue, Daria began organizing dinner parties, the first starting with just 12 women, and eventually cultivated a community of over 200 individuals.

In the face of the pandemic, when intimate dinners were no longer an option, Daria adapted her approach and transformed the dinners into a podcast platform to continue facilitating dialogue and exploration. Inspired by the depth of discourse and the breadth of knowledge shared at the original dinner gatherings, she officially launched the WAA Podcast to extend these conversations to a global audience in 2021.

Daria's commitment to storytelling and curiosity-driven learning extends beyond the podcast studio. Based in Berlin, she can often be found moderating panel discussions, conducting interviews with industry pioneers, or delivering lectures on podcasting and storytelling.
