64 | Future of Woman-Owned Wallet with Amanda Dare
Thu Jul 24 2025
What happens when a middle child with chronic pain creates a feminist retail empire? You get Woman-Owned Wallet â a movement that's part store, part media company, and full-on economic revolution.Â
Welcome to the season six finale where founder Amanda Dare takes the mic solo to reveal major transformations ahead. After closing WOW Factor Collective and weathering ongoing construction challenges at the storefront, Amanda shares her vision for WOW's future: a YouTube series spotlighting woman-owned businesses across America. Think of it as the feminist answer to Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives â a travel show mapping the incredible entrepreneurs who deserve your dollars.
But this evolution isn't just about business. Amanda bravely recounts her decades-long health battle that culminated in recent surgery for endometriosis, a condition affecting one in ten women yet chronically underdiagnosed and understudied. Through tearful reflection, she connects her personal healing journey with WOW's mission of creating safe, feminine spaces where women's experiences are validated rather than dismissed. The serendipitous moment when a gynecologist shopping in her store finally pointed her toward diagnosis perfectly illustrates why community matters â we solve problems together that we can't solve alone.
The episode also includes a bittersweet announcement about COO Adrienne's departure after nearly seven years of partnership, plus Amanda's reading of her recent Force Magazine article outlining how WOW is building economic power for women through "funny financial feminism." From guided tours and podcasts to an upcoming children's book starring Penny the piggy bank, Amanda reveals how putting money in women's wallets creates ripple effects throughout communities.
