Womade, Boulevard Adolphe Max, 30, Brussels (2025)

Hello world 👋🏼
 We’ve been a little quieter here lately — not because less is happening (spoiler: it’s been cray-cray 🌀), but because we’ve been overthinking how to share in a world of oversharing.

There’s so much noise out there. Everyone’s posting, creating, performing — just to exist in a virtual world that’s getting louder by the day.

And honestly? We’ve been talking about it with the community too. This pressure to constantly “show up online”… while what we all crave the most is real life.

The moments that can’t be scrolled. Coffee chats. Spontaneous lunches. Warm, safe energy. That’s what WOMADE has always been about — a space to be, connect, create, and breathe offline. 🌿✨

Also… let’s be real 😅: social media is a full-time job, and here… it’s just one person juggling it all (guess who 👀).

So we’re finding a new balance. Slower, more intentional, more us.
 And… we’ve actually been testing a few new platforms lately — little crushes we might reveal soon 👀💭

Curious though: – What platforms or online spaces still feel real to you these days? – If you’re new here: what would you love to see from us (beyond members, updates & events)? – If you’ve been around for a while: which types of posts do you enjoy the most?

Your input and feedback means a lot 💙🙏🏻

PS: Here are a few snaps from the last weeks — lunch breaks, coffee chats, karaoke nights, branding brainstorms, and us cooking up the future of WOMADE. Just a little sparkle of our offline magic ✨

WOMADE vs. WeRise — what’s the difference?

You’ve seen both names… maybe been to one, heard about the other…
So let’s break it down👇🏼

🏠️ WOMADE is both a space and a community for women entrepreneurs in the heart of Brussels.
Your second home. Your creative cocoon. Your jungle of ideas.
It’s where you come to work, meet, focus, cry (sometimes), launch, record a podcast, and drink dangerously good coffee. It’s coworking, events, private rentals, and spontaneous chats in the kitchen.
Plants everywhere. 🌿 Laptops open. Inspiration in the air.
You land here. You breathe here. You rise from here.
You come for the desk. You stay for the energy.
😌 Space first. Community flows from it.

🌏️WE RISE is a community. Without borders.
It lives online and in real life — in Brussels, and soon across Belgium, and way beyond.
A growing collective of women entrepreneurs, creatives, and change-makers who want to build with clarity, courage, and sisterhood — even from behind a laptop screen in another city.
It lives online (Circle platform), and in real life — through events, retreats, and seasonal coworking days at WOMADE…with one big shared belief:You don’t have to do it alone.
👯‍♀️Community first. Space comes when we need it.

So basically, let’s recap:

= I need a space.
Let me land — in a second home, with badass women around me and zero mental load.
be = I need a crew.
Let me grow — through events, deep convos, and a community that truly has my back.

The best part? If you’re in Brussels, you don’t have to choose.
A lot of women are in both — working, growing, rising... together.

Why are we "women focused"?⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
Because the gap is real.
Indeed, there is a huge gap between men and women at senior levels in the corporate world - and our community is determined to bridge that gap.⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠
⁠
According to the World Economic Forum, it will take an average of 99.5 years to close the global gender gap. And the lack of progress in economic participation and opportunity extends this timeline even further. If we continue at the current rate progress over the 2006-2020 period, it will take a staggering 257 years to achieve gender parity.⁠ ⁠
⁠
This stark reality emphasizes the urgent need for more women in influential roles—in the media, on stage, in boardrooms, and in politics.⁠ ⁠ Now, more than ever, investing in women capital, providing a safe space and tools for growth, contributes not only to a more favorable entrepreneurial climate but also to a sustainable and inclusive society.⁠ ⁠
⁠
And for our founder, Alba?
It's because among women, we speak the same language. As a woman solopreneur, the journey can feel isolating. While creating WoMade, Alba encountered numerous women experiencing the same emotions, and she felt compelled to create something for them and for herself.⁠
⁠
So let's join forces to create the impact that is needed to create awareness, to drive conversations and ultimately, to change perspectives.⁠ ⁠ ⁠
⁠
Are you ready to rise with us?⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠

Can you believe WOMADE turns 5 today? 🥹🎈
 Five years of courage, coffee, connection… and creating a space that wasn’t just missing — it was needed.

It all started with one big idea: How can I feel at home, stay inspired, get things done — without the mental load — and, most importantly, not feel alone?
I craved a space where I could be surrounded by like-minded people. And why not women? Because we speak the same language — ambition, care, chaos, and courage.

So I built the place I couldn’t find. A jungle of ideas (and actual plants — some still alive 🌿🪴), a space where we’ve cried, danced, launched businesses and babies, had breakdowns and breakthroughs… together.

🎙️Along the way, we added a podcast studio — because when we opened, podcasts were everywhere and women had so much to say. We needed a mic. So we made one.
And yes, we have a podcast. It’s called .podcast as in Me & We. Season 3 coming soon, promise 🎧

🧜‍♀️ We’ve welcomed hundreds of women — from 22 to 62. Founders, creatives, freelancers, quiet souls, bold voices. Here, you don’t “network”. You connect — heart-first.🫶

And as WOMADE grew, so did the vision.

👯‍♀️ That’s how We Rise (.be) was born — our sister community for women entrepreneurs, with real-life events, coworking days, and a growing platform of support and inspiration.

Five years later? We’re just getting started, the best is yet to come🙏🏻

Thank you to every single woman who’s stepped into this space and made it more than I ever imagined.🥹✨

WAIT! Stay tuned: to celebrate, we’re giving away 5 coworking days to 5 amazing women. Infos to come Sunday Sept 7th🎁
 Because you deserve to feel what it’s like to work in a space that gets you. ✨

This is WOMADE. This is home.

PS: Okay, okay… I’m skipping the drama, but of course, it’s been a roller coaster. 🫠🫣🥴 The tears, the doubts, the wins, the “wtf am I doing?” moments — all part of the ride.🥹 A beautiful, messy, magical one I wouldn’t trade for anything 💙

With the crazy beginning of the academic year, most of our calendars are full of meetings, calls,… that we might just skip 🤯⁠
⁠
We wanted to share 4 tips we've been applying since last year and helped us get through it. ⁠
⁠
⚠️ But first thing first, a kind reminder: ⁠
having a calendar full of meetings or an agenda full of to-dos doesn't make your more important or productive. Actually, it's often the opposite. ⁠
⁠
So we’ve learned to:⁠
⁠
1. Plan days with NO meetings 🙅‍♀️🗓 — even if it's a 30min meetings. Having days with no meetings helps us create, do the admin, do longer tasks with no interruptions. ⁠
⁠
2. Batch similar tasks & block time 📝 — we find it more productive to do our admin or creation or you-name-it the same day. It helps us stay the same energy, choose the right moment to plan it ( 🌕🩸) and...most important: block that time in our calendar. If it's not in our calendar, it doesn't exist (even our days off 😎).⁠
⁠
3. Plan you agenda ahead ⏳ — we really see the difference when we start our week or day with no agenda. If we didn't take some time to plan our week ahead (typically on Sundays) we procrastinate much more. ⁠
⁠
4. Decline meetings — if there is no agenda, or added value, decline it. Or make it shorter, or better: an email! 📧⁠
⁠
⁠
What are your tips for staying organised and getting sh*it done? 🤓⁠

It’s almost the end of August, and the back-to-school craziness is slowly creeping in… 🌀
That “new year energy” is back — even though we’re still in sandals and half in holiday mode. 😅

Trying to do our best in every area of life can get pretty stressful. 🥵
Whether it’s in your personal life or at work, we often end up putting pressure on ourselves to do a lot in a veeeeery short amount of time.

But that pressure? It’s not good for us (who else keeps forgetting that? 🙋🏽‍♀️) — and it usually does the opposite.
It drains us. It blocks creativity.
And when we need rest, we don’t feel comfortable asking for it — or even simply offering it to ourselves.

So here are 5 things to stop feeling guilty about:

・Wanting alone time 💆‍♀️
When your social battery runs out, take a break and enjoy the magic of just being.

・Failing at something 🧎‍♀️
Whether at work or in your personal life, failure is a good sign. It means you’re trying — and learning. Keep going, you’ve got this.

・Setting and enforcing boundaries 🙅‍♀️
To all my people pleasers & empathic gals: say no when you're not fully OK with something. When you're tired. When your gut says no. Listen to yourself.

・Changing your mind 🧠
Yes, you're allowed to — after a week, a day, or even a minute. It doesn’t make you flaky. It makes you human.

・Prioritizing your own wellbeing 🤍
Your body and soul need care. Don't ignore the signs — nourish yourself.

✨ What about you?
Any other tips you'd add to the list?
Do you ever feel guilty when you rest?

Let’s share below 👇
