It’s been a historic year for Tiger Sisters — from becoming the #1 women-led business podcast on Spotify to seeing our faces on a billboard in New York City (!!). Before we step into 2026, we’re looking back at the wins, risks, experiments, and hard-earned lessons that shaped us.

This episode is for anyone looking to grow – personally, professionally, and creatively – and who wants a grounded, honest look at what actually builds momentum, confidence, and credibility so they can level up in the year ahead.

✅ Our surreal billboard moment in NYC and why it meant more than we expected

✅ Relentless experimentation

✅ The real story behind our rebrand

✅ Why curation is our superpower in a world overflowing with content

✅ Our first-ever brand partnership and the principles behind saying yes vs. no

✅ Eye-opening podcast industry stats and why women’s voices — especially women of color — matter more than ever
