How real belonging, slow growth, and intentional leadership created a paid membership that feels like home.
What began as a few dinners in Lisbon grew into one of the city’s most intentional and beloved communities: The Sassy Women Society, founded by Raluca, a former brand director with a deep understanding of human connection.
Her approach wasn’t rooted in scale or strategy. It was rooted in listening—and the courage to create space for women who wanted something deeper than networking.
Below is the story of how to build a community that feels human, connected, and genuinely nourishing.
How to Build a Community People Actually Love: The Sassy Women Society Story
Raluca’s entire community began from one simple practice: she listened before she led. That one word—belonging—became her compass.
Before she ever tried to create a paid community, she created connection. She paid attention to what women were craving: depth, curiosity, conversation without performance.
This is the foundation for building community for women that lasts:
Not strategy. Not branding.
Simply listening with intention.
When Gatherings Become Something More
After hosting more than ten dinners in forests, galleries, and tucked-away creative spaces, Raluca noticed a pattern.
Women weren’t showing up for the novelty.
They were showing up for the feeling.
“After hosting over ten dinners, I realized how many women out there actually want more—deeper connection, meaningful conversations, not just another networking night.”
Each dinner revealed what her future members valued:
- honesty
- depth
- curiosity
- shared perspective
- a sense of home
That’s when a simple table became an ecosystem—and the beginnings of her membership.
How to Create a Membership That Feels Human
When people ask Raluca how to create a membership like hers, her answer is refreshingly grounded.
“It’s okay not to know what the next steps are. Start small, listen to your people, and let them help you shape the membership.”
A thriving membership starts with three things:
- Start before you feel ready
You don’t need funnels, branding, or a content machine.
You need one consistent touchpoint where people feel welcome.
- Keep the feedback loop open
Raluca’s community evolved because she kept asking, listening, adjusting
- Protect the energy
Curated communities thrive because intention shapes the culture from day one.
A meaningful membership isn’t built from “best practices.”
It’s built from presence.
Showing Up When It’s Small
Every founder faces the season where excitement fades and the numbers aren’t big yet.
That season either strengthens your community—or ends it.
Raluca chose to show up.
“Even if it’s just five members, I still need to be there. They committed to me, and that means I show up—no matter what.”
That is leadership.
That is retention.
That is how trust compounds inside a membership.
Because when you treat five members like fifty, they become ambassadors who carry your community forward.
Slower Growth, Deeper Impact
The Sassy Women Society wasn’t built overnight. It grew from one dinner, one conversation, one woman at a time.
“We chose to grow slower, but with intention—because community isn’t about numbers, it’s about energy.”
Slow growth is not a setback.
It’s strategy.
When you grow intentionally:
- culture deepens
- trust strengthens
- members stay longer
- word of mouth becomes your engine
If your community is growing slowly, it doesn’t mean you’re behind.
It means you’re building roots.
Real Lessons in Building a Community for Women
Here are the truths Raluca’s story highlights:
Start with empathy, not algorithms.
Community begins with human need, not metrics.
Grow slower than you think you should.
Depth always outlasts reach.
Stay small long enough to learn.
Your first members shape everything.
Consistency builds trust.
And trust builds community.
Remember your why.
People join for connection, not content.
When Community Turns Into a Movement
So how do you create paid community that people never want to leave?
You make it human.
You make it less about features and more about feelings.
You build a space where people feel seen, welcomed, and safe to be themselves.
Raluca’s story proves something powerful:
A community can be profitable and pure.
A membership can be intentional and sustainable.
A founder can lead with heart and build a business that lasts.
Because when women gather with purpose, the impact extends far beyond the membership itself.
Take This With You
You don’t need the perfect idea—or the perfect timing—to begin building community.
You need:
- one table
- one conversation
- one shared moment of belonging
Start small.
Start human.
Start with heart.
Connection—not content—is what keeps people coming back.
TRANSCRIPT WITH RALUCA, FOUNDER OF SASSY WOMEN SOCIETY
Chardét Ryel (00:00)
If you are here thinking, I would love to start a community. I would love to understand a little bit more about how to get excited to have people connect. Or maybe I’m thinking I also want to be a part of the community because you know how it feels. It’s a bit isolating as a creative founder, entrepreneur, traveler, whatever you are. This is a conversation to give you so many ideas related to that.
I’m speaking with Raluca, who is the founder of Sassy Women’s Society. We’re going to go deep into how she started the community, but also pulling in her amazing experience as a former brand director. So we’re looking at how do you create a whole brand experience that just attracts really like-minded people. I’m excited for you to listen and to find inspiration, whether you are starting your own community or you’re just thinking about how to create more connection.
I’ll see you inside. Welcome to her first from breakdowns to blunders, learn what works and what didn’t. I’m your host, Sade, and whether you’re a new entrepreneur or you’re just starting something new, this is your space to learn and feel a little less alone.
Raluca (01:00)
three years.
Thank you for being so open to sharing this perspective from you as a part of the community and me as the founder of the community. But it’s a business for which I’ve been working in the background for more than three years, shifting ideas, pivoting, trying to find the perfect fit in the market. ⁓
Chardét Ryel (01:34)
How do you
describe it now? Because I know you’re really good about asking us for our language. Like how would we describe it to someone else? So what is the current way you describe?
Raluca (01:44)
We are a community of currently around 60 women from all over the world, ⁓ ages from late 30s to late 60s up to 70s. And what I love about us is that we’re also in very different phases of our careers. We have equally stay-at-home moms or very successful career women. Because I’m a true believer that the stage where you are now as a woman doesn’t define you. You are not labeled.
by the career phase you have or you don’t have. And this is something I had to learn the hard way. I had to take a break from my career because of a health issue and I suffered an identity crisis. I didn’t know who I was without my career title. And that’s when I realized we just are, we don’t have to say we are, know, X, Y, Z. But what I say defines every woman in the club and what really brings us together is this inner curiosity.
If I was to define all the members, they’re all creative and curious women. And when I say creative, it’s because we women, just because we bring new life into the world, we are creative just because of that. Even if we choose to not do it, still it’s within us. That’s the most creative act of all. And curious women, because it’s women who are open to embracing diversity, women who are open to embracing…
new cultures, new languages, and actually looking at themselves through different lenses. So now I would actually ask you how do you see the members?
Chardét Ryel (03:13)
This
is why it’s funny because you just stole the words from… Wow. Like that’s when you know that you understand your target market. Because I would say the exact same thing. I think it’s difficult to pinpoint until you said, what is the common factor? Because we’re not all entrepreneurs. We’re not all moms. We’re not all like working. We’re not all et cetera. We don’t all have partners. Like it’s all very different, but there is…
a certain connection with anyone in the group that I feel is there and I can see it’s the curious and the maybe like seeking a bit of adventure and maybe a slight bit of challenge of perspective.
Raluca (03:53)
So you know that in order to become a member in the club, you have to apply via the website. We have a form where we get to know you better. And then that’s the first step. The second step is to have actually a call with me and I guide you through the membership. And, know, I try to understand what’s the reason for which you apply and so on and so forth. ⁓ And the first thing that everyone said, and I’ve interviewed more than 250 women, the first thing was they’re looking for belonging. They’re looking for their tribe.
And it’s interesting because even Portuguese women who choose to apply and who choose to become members, they’re still looking for their tribes, even if they already like belonging here, right?
Chardét Ryel (04:33)
The integration piece I think is really strong because a lot of things exist here in Lisbon that you can be a part of, but they do tend to be ex-pat centric. There are not a lot of local people in them. And I think that’s the really beautiful part of it. But how was it, you now are very clear on what it is, so much so that I as a member can say that’s what I feel.
What were the different iterations of it before though? Like what were some things that you tried before you landed on? This is what it is. This is how I’m going to structure it. What did it look like first in your mind? Maybe some things that didn’t quite work out, that you had to tweak because we’re all about kind of sharing, you know, the truth behind getting to this great thing.
Raluca (05:14)
I
was listening to you and I just remembered something I totally forgot until now. So when I was still living in Romania, I think it was 2016-17, I had a similar initiative, but for women entrepreneurs, because I have been an entrepreneur most of my life. I actually started my first business 20 years ago. I was just kind of recapping my career trajectory ahead of talking to you. And realized I had my first business 20 years ago.
And one thing I’ve noticed for women entrepreneurs, you can feel quite lonely. And being an entrepreneur in Romania, I realized I was meeting other women and we were kind of having all these questions. So I had the first initiative to start a community for women entrepreneurs back in the days. And then pandemic hit in the meantime, I chose to move countries to kind of find my place in the world. When I came here, I really felt lonely.
I think it was just the community factor of everything I was experiencing. But I felt quite lonely because I landed in a group that wasn’t really matching my values, my interests, my way of spending the free time. And they thought, you know, I don’t want to move again. If I move somewhere else, I won’t solve this. But what can I do in order to improve my social life? So what I started doing was actually hosting dinners every month.
And I was organizing very creative dinners in quite unique setups. We had a dinner in a forest, one in an art gallery, one in an interior design shop. So every month I was bringing something very new and different to the market. And after organizing, I think, more than 10, 12 dinners, I’ve noticed how many women like me are out there who actually want more and they just need a deeper connection. They need meaningful conversations.
And I’m not afraid to say that Lisbon can be quite shallow and superficial and you can meet a lot of people, but at the of the day you’re lonely and you live home quite empty. There’s not much substance to what people bring to the table sometimes. And I thought it’s actually, that’s what I need. I need a space where women can feel they live home with so much knowledge, with so much depth, they feel energized, they feel uplifted after a conversation.
So Sessium Society was initially just a space where you would meet for dinner once a month. ⁓ But then I studied a lot of business model of members clubs and I asked myself how I can build something that doesn’t exist, what I can bring to Lisbon in order to have people feeling as part of something bigger, something that really makes a difference. And in the end, what’s our mission as a collective? So now after a year,
We’re also moving into more than just building a community around our members, into actually supporting women artists, young women artists, like we’re young women designers through our shared knowledge and expertise. So it’s more like how can we also give back to the community?
Chardét Ryel (08:17)
something that will call to people listening that I want to create community but I also want to have impact beyond just the people who can pay for it, right? Like how can I also support people in other ways? And that’s a lovely way to do it is like let me highlight and feature these artists, these creative people with a group of people that can actually support them as well.
Raluca (08:39)
Next year we just decided, and it’s the first time I’m saying it, know, public, we decided to support one young designer in her career for a year. So each of our members could contribute, you know, with their skills or expertise, either in, I don’t know, marketing or communication, or how do you promote yourself out there, you know, how do you put yourself out there. So it’s sharing our wisdom and making it, turning it into something valuable and tangible for someone who needs it more than we do.
Chardét Ryel (09:08)
Skills share, I think, is kind of a missing piece with a lot of community because a lot of times it’s almost transactional. Like we’re here, it’s a networking type thing, and there’s not this, how do we share the different ways we can support, introductions we can make, like more of what can we give rather than just what can we take. And I think that is something people are creating more now too. Like we don’t want that old model of everyone’s there, they give their elevator pitch.
I don’t even know someone that I met in Sassy. I’ve seen multiple times and talked to. I don’t even know what their jobs are.
Raluca (09:43)
We’re not a networking community. We’re not a business club. You really come here to elevate your social life. So what I like to say is that we take care of your social life. ⁓ There’s a full calendar out there with a big diversity, a big variety of events that you can choose from. And you just have to show up at one of the events and you’re guaranteed that you’ll meet amazing people and have good conversations.
And of course, should you need to connect with someone on a professional level, we’re here to create these personal introductions and support you in your career advancement. But that’s not the reason why we gather.
Chardét Ryel (10:23)
Can you share a little bit? I’m going to ask you one question a little bit later, but the one that’s on my mind right now is you were talking about the process of how you select members and that you’re personally involved. And I think that that’s a huge reason why people are the way that they are. But how did you first get that initial group in? Because you went from these dinners to then being like, now we’re a paid community and you have an annual fee and you pay for the activities.
How did you get the first group to come in and say yes? Like, where did you find these people? Did they find you?
Raluca (10:56)
Because Sassy Women’s Society as a brand exists for would say at least three years on the market. And as I was saying, it was first just maybe a platform where I was sharing some stories on a blog, then, you know, it turned into a newsletter and I added some dinner. So it was just these small things that I was doing out of passion with really no business plan in mind. I wasn’t seeking for a return or I was just sharing with the world something that made me happy. I think that’s quite important for female founders to pay attention to, know.
What makes you happy? What are you passionate about? And how can you put that out there initially with no expectations? And that be curious and be, be perseverant, but also just, you be playful with it. Cause if we’re so, so focused on only making money, most of the times we meet it’s not only the fun, but also people feel that as you’re saying, you want to take rather than give, right? So, Accessible Design as a brand was already out there.
And we had a newsletter community, which was not very big, but still it was slowly organically growing. And the members club, I think it took me more than six months to basically launch it from the moment I decided I want to do it until I was ready to put it on the market. Last year I’ve done in six weeks more work than I did in the past six months because I was so determined to launch it in 2024. And I thought if I don’t launch it.
in November, then December is not a good month to launch a business. And I will go into 2025 and I would have felt horrible because procrastinated for too long. So what I did, I actually communicated on Instagram and on our newsletter database that we’re launching the members club on 1st of November. So that’s how I got the first members. There was a waiting list. People subscribe to the waiting list and they were the first actually they…
found about the club October 30th, so it was one day before the official launch. And one of the women who came at the dinners, she’s a local Portuguese artist, she reached out to me and I didn’t even know how the interview goes. I didn’t even know what to talk to her. And she instantly become a member. was like, so now there is a members club because we have one member, so I need to move forward with it, right? First five interviews were for me a bit more like adjusting my speech and understanding what people need to hear, what I…
You know, how long do I speak with them? How much of their time am I actually taking? But after that, it just became normal. And I thought, you know, even if it’s just five members, I still need to be there one year. Like these people committed to being a member in my club for a year. So even if it’s just them, one year I have to be there. Right. So, but it was just this unknown because I’ve never launched a members club before. I ran different businesses, but I never had the paid community before. Right. Cause there’s a lot of commitment.
from me to you and the other way around, but I have to show up no matter what. So I think it was more like, okay, I’m excited about it, but then how does it really work, right? And I think people should actually normalize. It’s okay not to know what the next steps are. It’s okay to figure out as you move along the journey. And also one thing that was very helpful in my entrepreneurial journey and in my business journey.
was actively listening to you as the members because I started with an idea in mind. Then you were the ones who actually helped me shape the business model. Put yourself out there, start as small as you can. Even if you’re not ready, just start and let your audience and your clients help you shape the product and the offering, but without losing your core and your essence. Because otherwise you might just be too overloaded with information. Find balance between
what my clients are suggesting, but actually what’s my essence and my purpose here. So how do I keep them in a harmonious dance, right?
Chardét Ryel (14:50)
And
that’s the part where I think I’m most interested to ask you about like how you’re figuring out what the exact value mix is for people as it continues how it evolves. But I also just want to point out to people listening like the brilliant business lessons in this of the one thing is like you had an ecosystem already there before you launched, right? You had the newsletter, you had done some events, you had the way like there’s probably some word of mouth going around. And then from there you created
the offer that you made. You were passionate about making it work even if it was one person or five. And I think that’s a big fear is that people think if I launch a community, what if I only have a couple people sign up?
Raluca (15:33)
Well, that’s already a community. And we did have in the very beginning, in last January, I can’t forget, I was so excited to do a champagne tasting. Because as you know, in Lisbon, there’s not many champagne places, right? So this place really recently opened up. One thing that we do is we bring to our members like novelty, right? If there’s a new interesting place in town.
You’re the first to know about it. I was very excited. It didn’t cross my mind there is dry January. I had no idea that dry January exists. Like, I wasn’t aware that most of my members, you know, don’t drink alcohol. It was an event with four people and we had an amazing time. And for me, it was a lesson that in the end, even if it’s just five people, that’s enough. Maybe in that evening, only the five of us were meant to be at the table and have an even smaller intimate.
Chardét Ryel (16:05)
So…
Raluca (16:26)
conversation and that’s perfectly fine.
Chardét Ryel (16:29)
love that because you know this is a big like I think our ego gets in the way of well I’ve got this goal for a launch or I’ve got this many people and I remember even when I was back in fitness coaching sometimes I’d go to a class expecting 30 people and it’d be one and you have the choice of being like I’m disappointed to that this one person is the only one or I can make this the best experience they’ve ever had and they will tell other people in the end it still works you find a way
I want to ask you related to this because you’ve talked a little bit about the experiences that you create for us. And I always do find that they are novel. No one else knows about them beforehand. Sometimes it’s like sneak peeks and early experiences. How do you decide what goes on the calendar and what you want to feature it to your members and what you don’t mention? what do you think? Cause I know you get pitched as well, probably a lot. How do you decide, okay, this is going to be on
a feature for them and this is not.
Raluca (17:28)
As I said, I know our essence. I know what we stand for. We stand for art, culture, design, and gastronomy, if I were to reduce it to only four. So I make sure every month we have at least one art event and at least one dinner. That’s non-negotiable. We recently started introducing a series, is Coffee with the Artists. So one morning every month we go to a different artist’s studio.
And I love to introduce new practices every time we had paintings, ceramics, glass, jewelry. Every now and then we have wellness, wellbeing events also, because it’s something that members really love. What doesn’t go in our calendar, it’s something that you can find easily out there without me. What I’m aiming is for you to come together with these unique special events, which are created only for you. And from there…
you create your own groups and your own friends with whom to go to other experiences that happen within the city. And it’s something that I’m noticing members do, right? So my desire is to really bring you things that you can’t get on your own, right? It’s more providing you access.
Chardét Ryel (18:30)
And
I can say that your events are some of the few where I’m like, I’m going to get dressed. I’m going to put lipstick on. I’m gonna go. Because it is something spectacular or different or interesting. And I like too what you said about how people are starting to create their own smaller events of people to go and do things, which I’ve been to one of those. We went to one of the palaces that was…
You’ve been to the brunch. Yeah, I did a brunch and that was so nice. And I think a true testament of how strong is your community is, are your members willing to connect beyond the space you’ve created for them? Are they willing to do that? Because if they’re only there when you’ve created this, then maybe they’re not connecting as much, right? But yours are, like they want to get to know each other even better. In those experiences, whether you organize them or we organize them informally,
You always connect with the people, even if they’re not your best friend. And maybe you never like see them separately on your own, but there’s always this shared vision. And I know that a lot of that comes down to the fact that you choose who comes in. And I think for people listening that want to create a community, they might want to also cure.
Raluca (19:44)
We are extremely intentional and that’s how I like to position ourselves. We’re very intentional in everything that we do. From the members that are part of the club to the events that we do, the partners we work with, it’s a lot of intention out there. A factor is the age because I’ve noticed that majority of our members are in a more mature phase of their lives. I’m very honest with those who are under 30 and I’m kind of pointing out that it might not be the right space for them.
Of course, there are a lot of mature young women out there. It’s just the level of conversation might be very different and they might just thrive in a very different environment than ours. But one thing I’m always looking at is how do I feel with that person? Is this person draining my energy? And I’ve had this in the beginning of the club. I’ve had a conversation with someone who was complaining about everything. She was very negative. Maybe it was just…
a bad day when we chose to speak, but I’m really, really paying attention to the energy people bring to the table. And here I really want your feedback, but from what I am noticing, because sometimes I literally take a step back and I admire all of you together in interaction. I didn’t notice jealousy. I didn’t notice envy, competition. And that’s something I’m looking into the people, like are they comfortable with themselves in their lives? If they join this community,
Would they just feel secure? Or would they feel threatened and, you know, that they’re not enough and they have to prove themselves? I think that’s something, at least for me, it’s very important. We chose to grow slower, but with more intention behind, rather than have a bigger number of members just for the sake of it. And here I’m really curious to hear your perspective. How do you feel the atmosphere or the vibe at an event?
Chardét Ryel (21:37)
Yeah, I think it’s interesting that you mention it because it is a situation where I’m someone who I’m extroverted, but it needs to be with the right people. And I do find that if I’m in a group with it’s not the right people, tend to, if they’re pessimists or a little bit narrow minded, judgmental, if there’s envy, especially, I hate to say it, but traditionally a group of women, I feel heavy and drained after those experiences.
And I’ve never felt that with Sassy Women. Even when I’ve been in events with a lot of women there, I’ve never felt, I’ve always felt lighter and more inspired. I’ve never felt heavy. And I think that that makes sense because you’ve intentionally gotten those kind of people. And I do think even for someone listening that has an online community or wants one, that’s relevant. Because if you have a group of people meeting every week in person or online,
and you have those ones that drag down and complain all the time, that doesn’t feel good at all. Like no one wants to be in that situation. They don’t want to show up. Zoom’s already hard to show up for. It’s a lot harder when it’s that kind of energy. So I like the idea of thinking about who’s coming in. And I think also the way you looked at the age is important because maybe someone listening doesn’t want to filter by age, but they need to filter by experience.
And I’ve done that before where I’ve had people who are a little too new to podcasting, for example, and it’s not the right fit for them to be in a group of people who are further along. What would be something that you think is the most important that you’ve learned in this time since creating Sassy around creating a community that really thrives and attracts people? What do you think is like the most important aspect to think about for someone listening who’s like, I’d like to create one in person online?
Raluca (23:28)
If you want to launch your community, you have to be ready to give up on a lot of other things. It takes a huge amount of work and I can feel in my body I’m way more tired than I was a year ago. The excitement is still there, the passion is still there, but it’s just physically I feel more tired. It’s just because if you manage, you know, bigger group of people, it just takes space and energy. And I’m saying this with all of love, but it’s just that’s the reality of it.
And you have to be ready to do it on your own for a while. I am now in a space where I have three people supporting me behind the scenes, but it’s still like a lot of work. So I’ve learned maybe to aim for a balance in my life. I’m not there yet, but at least I know I aim for it. I learned that I need to start saying no to some things ⁓ and pay more attention to know when do need to rest properly because otherwise I can’t show up for the members.
And I’ve learned that your life can change completely overnight. Launching this business changed my life completely. I was such a different person a year ago. I’m just more, more ambitious, more driven, more energetic, more passionate, more purpose-driven. The fact that you have a purpose shifts your life completely. And because I have to be like, you keep me accountable.
All of you, you keep me accountable and I can’t afford to say, I don’t want to show up today. mean, that’s still a very good thing if you look at it through a different perspective, right? So, but you have to be willing to put in the work and especially the first three years are the hardest. It is a background. I’m a brand director at Core. Before launching this, I was working mostly with entrepreneurs, but not only.
More than 15 years of my career, I’ve been building brands or reshaping brands or repurposing brands. And the first three years are the most crucial ones. If a client would come to me in their first three years, I would kindly advise them to wait a bit longer. The first three years of a business is not the right moment to rebrand or to reposition yourself. You have to learn and to gather data and to gather knowledge. And if you make it to the third year,
then you can talk about a solid brand. The first three years are your playground.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. think it’s actually been very helpful for me to hear behind the scenes of the creative genius. And I think it really is going to inspire people to start a community, maybe rethink how they were going to do one. And maybe some of them are like, nope, it’s not for me right now.
