From Podcast to Global Community
As we reached the milestone of 100 episodes of the Women Authors of Achievement podcast, we felt it was the perfect moment to turn the microphone on our founder, Daria Suvorova. This milestone offers a chance to reflect on the incredible journey, as to look ahead to what the exciting future that awaits!
“Dream big, always. Because if you dream small, you won’t know what your potential is."
Since our launch in 2021 (you can read more about that here), the Women Authors of Achievement podcast has become a beacon for bold, inspiring, and unconventional stories from accomplished women across diverse fields. From the beginning, Daria has expertly bridged the gap between personal and professional storytelling, creating a platform where curiosity and authenticity guide every conversation.
Through Daria’s vision, the podcast continues to amplify the voices of remarkable women, celebrating their achievements and life lessons whilst fostering a deeper understanding of their journeys.
"Every episode is a reflection of what excites me. I approach the podcast as a curious listener – choosing stories and guests that resonate with my own interests and passions.”
What truly sets The Women Authors of Achievement podcast apart from others is that the entire concept, curation, and creation is done by Daria – and almost entirely by herself. This hands-on approach has resulted in something more than just a podcast; it’s become an extension of Daria’s passion and personality. Every episode feels like a personal experience, where no stone is left unturned and no topic is too taboo. It’s this commitment to openness and authenticity that makes the podcast so unique.
From our very first episode, Daria's mission has been clear: to shine a spotlight on the achievements, challenges, and life lessons of women who have made a profound impact across various industries – whether in tech, creative arts, or beyond. Through in-depth conversations with trailblazing women, The Women Authors of Achievement inspires listeners to dream big, take risks, and embrace their own unique paths, no matter how daunting the journey ahead may seem.
“When women come together to support each other, that's when real change happens."
For anyone who has met Daria, it comes as no surprise to hear that she has always had seriously ambitious plans for the Women Authors of Achievement podcast. Envisioning it as a global platform while maintaining its uniquely personal touch, she is driven by this vision and a love for connecting people. In 2023, Daria took a bold step in by merging high-quality storytelling with a growing and dedicated audience, launching the WAA live podcast events and she hasn’t looked back since!
These intimate gatherings not only transform the podcast experience from audio into interactive but also provide an opportunity for our loyal listeners to engage directly with one another and the inspiring women featured on the show, further strengthening the sense of community and connection that is at the heart of WAA Podcast.
"We want the podcast to go beyond just an audio experience. The live events, where we bring our community together, provide a chance for real connections and conversations that really build relationships.”
Through these carefully curated live events, Daria has transformed the podcast into a vibrant and diverse community, where age, background, and profession play no role. These events create unique opportunities for networking, shared experiences, and real-life conversations that extend far beyond the impact of each episode. For Daria, fostering these connections is essential to ensuring that the podcast resonates not just as a source of entertainment, but as a movement dedicated to empowering women.
So, after a whirlwind three years, what does the future hold for WAA Podcast and Daria? Well, slowing down is definitely not on the cards! With many more live events already lined up for 2025 and exciting new partnerships underway. As the podcast continues to evolve, so does Daria’s drive and vision, with the future promising to be as dynamic and impactful as its past, creating even more opportunities for connection, storytelling, and entrepreneurship.
