I’ve been running Anne Louise Magazine for seventeen years. Seventeen years of interviewing women building incredible things, writing about the messy reality of entrepreneurship, and quietly noticing a gap that nobody seemed to be filling.
Not a gap in content. There is plenty of content for female entrepreneurs. Courses, podcasts, masterclasses, Instagram accounts with perfectly formatted tips. The internet is drowning in advice for women in business.
The gap I kept seeing was connection. Real, warm, no-performance-required connection. The kind where you can say “I have no idea what I’m doing this week” and someone replies “same, here’s what’s working for me,” and you both leave the conversation feeling a little lighter.
That’s the gap I built Female Entrepreneurs HQ to fill.
So What Actually Is FEHQ?
Female Entrepreneurs HQ is a paid membership community for women in business, and I use the word community very deliberately, because it is genuinely that. Not just a word slapped on a Facebook group.
Inside FEHQ, members get access to a private community space, a Featured Members page (think curated visibility, not a free-for-all directory), exclusive editorial features through Anne Louise Magazine, expert collaborators, a Business Directory, a Press Room with PR guidance, and a published Amazon book featuring member spotlights. Volume One is already live. Volume Two launches in September 2026.
But honestly? The feature list isn’t really the point. The point is the feeling inside FEHQ. It’s warm. It’s honest. Nobody is performing success at each other. Everyone is actually there to build something, not just to be seen building something.
The best way I can describe it: a girls’ night in where everyone happens to be talking business. You turn up as you are, and that’s more than enough.
Who Is FEHQ For?
FEHQ is for women who are running a business, or seriously building one, and who are done with the hustle culture version of entrepreneurship.
You know the one. The one that tells you you’re not working hard enough, that you should be doing more, posting more, scaling faster, sleeping less. The one that makes you feel like you’re constantly behind, even when you’re doing genuinely well.
FEHQ is the antidote to that.
It’s for the woman who wants to grow sustainably, who values real conversation over noise, and who is looking for a community where connection isn’t competitive. Whether you’re a freelancer, a coach, a product-based business owner, a creative, or somewhere between three things at once (very relatable), if you’re a woman with a business and a brain that won’t switch off, you’ll feel at home here.
Why I Built It — A Bit About Me
I’m Linsey, and I’ve been in and around women’s media and female entrepreneurship for the better part of two decades. I founded Anne Louise Magazine in 2009, which means I’ve had a front-row seat to the way women in business have changed, grown, struggled, and succeeded over the years.
I’m also a solopreneur, a mum, and someone who learned the hard way that building in isolation is one of the hardest things you can do. I know what it’s like to be the person who figures everything out alone. Googling at midnight, making decisions without a sounding board, wondering if anyone else is finding it this hard.
FEHQ launched in January 2026 because I finally stopped waiting for someone else to create the community I’d been looking for, and built it myself.
I wanted somewhere that took women in business seriously, not in a corporate, intimidating way, but in a your goals matter and we’re going to help you reach them way. Somewhere that combined genuine community with real editorial credibility, useful resources, and a structure that rewards actual engagement rather than just showing up to lurk.
I’m camera-shy, I run everything on words rather than video, and I care deeply about making FEHQ feel curated and intentional rather than noisy and overwhelming. That’s a deliberate choice, not a limitation. It’s what makes the community feel the way it does.
The Wednesday Coffee Chats, and Why They’re Different
Every Wednesday at 6pm (GMT/BST), FEHQ members gather for a Coffee Chat. And before you glaze over thinking “oh, another group thread,” hear me out, because these are genuinely different.
There are no webinars to attend. No video calls to dress up for. No pressure to perform insight in real time. The Coffee Chats are text-based, which means you can drop in during your lunch break, between client calls, or when you’ve finally got five minutes to breathe at 6:07pm. You show up when you can, in whatever state you’re in.
Each week has a different prompt. Thoughtful questions designed to spark real conversation, not just surface-level responses. Things like what you’re finding hard right now, what you wish you’d known earlier, or what small win deserves more credit than you’ve given it.
What makes them different is the consistency paired with the zero pressure. There’s no attendance register. Nobody’s watching to see if you’re showing up enough. But because the community is genuinely warm and the conversations are genuinely interesting, most members keep coming back. Not because they feel they have to, but because they actually want to.
Over sixteen weeks of prompts, you end up knowing the women in this community in a way that most online communities never quite manage. You know what they’re building, what they’re scared of, what they’re proud of. That’s rare. That’s worth something.
What Makes FEHQ Different
There are a lot of communities for female entrepreneurs. I’m not going to pretend otherwise. So here’s my honest answer to why FEHQ is worth your time and money.
It combines things no other membership combines. Community space, curated visibility through the Featured Members page, Anne Louise Magazine editorial coverage, an Amazon-listed book featuring member spotlights, a Press Room drawing on seventeen years of editorial experience. All in one place. No other membership for female entrepreneurs offers that combination.
It’s paid, and that’s intentional. I’ve learned, and watched, what happens in free communities. Engagement is low, investment is low, and the energy reflects that. When women pay for something, even a modest amount, they show up differently. They take it seriously. The paid structure of FEHQ isn’t a barrier; it’s what creates the quality of community inside it.
It grows with you. Whether you’re three months in or three years in, FEHQ is designed to keep offering something useful. The resources deepen, the connections compound, the visibility opportunities grow.
It’s built by someone who’s actually in it. I’m not a business coach packaging up content I’ve never lived. I’m a working entrepreneur and editor who built this community because I needed it too. Every decision inside FEHQ is made with that in mind.
A Little Something Special Coming
September 2026 brings a price increase for new members, but anyone who joins before then locks in their rate for life. The founding and early member pricing has always been our way of saying thank you for believing in something before it’s fully built.
If you’ve been sitting on the fence, this is genuinely a good time to jump. New features are also being launched shortly, including an expert library & swap board.
Want to Be Part of It?
You can find out more and join us at femaleentrepreneurs.co.uk.
There’s a Guest tier if you want to look around before committing, and paid membership £9.99/month, or the VIP Founders rate at £4.99/month for life, while it lasts.
Come and see what it feels like to be in a room full of women who are rooting for each other.
That’s what FEHQ is. And I’d love to have you in it.
