Female Startup Club

Jemma Sbeg built one of the world's most recognisable psychology podcasts at 21, hit 100 million downloads, and landed a Netflix deal by 26.

But what she really wants you to know about your 20s and what happens when you find success surprised me...

In this conversation with Female Startup Club, Jemma gets radically honest about the loneliness that comes with rapid success, why high-achieving women are the least likely to talk about it, and what she actually did when the numbers stopped feeling like enough.

I wanted to know:
The real psychology of high-achieving brains
The exact decision-making frameworks Jemma uses to stop spiralling
And what exactly happened with the Netflix deal

This one is for women who are building something real and wondering why it feels lonelier at the top.

This one is for the woman who is building something real and wondering why it feels lonelier the further she climbs.

In this episode, Doone is in the hot seat. Interviewed by her husband, this is a fast, slightly chaotic, very honest conversation about why she barely posted last year, what was actually going on behind the scenes, and how she still manages to build, lead, and follow through on what she sets her mind to.

We talk ambition, energy, focus, pressure, and the parts of success that don’t show up online. No hype. No polished narrative. Just the real mechanics of how she thinks, decides, and moves.

Hello and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl.

We’re wrapping up our three-part bootstrapping mini-series with a total powerhouse—Ali Clarke, founder of Bondi Blades, Australia’s first at-home derma razor company.
Bondi Blades started as a pandemic baby with just a couple hundred bucks and quickly grew into so much more than a side hustle. Last year, Ali hit $1 million in revenue and landed her products in over 1,000 stores across Australia. How’s that for impressive?

In this episode, Ali takes us through her exact blueprint for launching Bondi Blades and shares actionable tips for every founder starting their journey today. She’s breaking down what worked for her in those scrappy early days, including her experience at Cosmoprof trade show—what it cost, what she learned, and how it impacted her business.

This is one of those episodes that will light a fire under you, no matter where you’re at in your entrepreneurial journey.

Alrighty, let’s dive into it. This is Ali for Female Startup Club.
