Mentoring between women
Find the woman who has already been where you are.
Pick what you are navigating. We match you with women who have lived that exact thing — on a building site, in a kitchen, in a lab, in a boardroom — and put you in a private room together.

The name
One word, holding both halves of the exchange.
womentor already contains both words. They share the same three letters in the middle, so neither can be lifted out without the other — which is roughly the arrangement we are after.
Almost everyone here is both. She mentors on the thing she already survived, while looking for help with the thing in front of her this week.
How it works
Four steps, then a conversation.
- 01
Say what you're navigating
Pick from 42 challenges — from asking for a raise to being the only woman on the crew to starting over in a new country.
- 02
See who has been there
Mentors are ranked by how much of your list they actually cover, with the overlap shown on every card.
- 03
Start one conversation
Send a short note. That opens one private room with her, and your note is the first message in it.
- 04
Keep what's useful
Star the messages that help. Come back to a mentor when the next thing happens, or find a different one.
What you get
A room, not an audience.
There is no feed here and no profile to keep up. The whole product is: find the right woman, say the true thing, keep what helped.
Matched by what you're facing
Not by industry or seniority. You pick the challenge; we surface the women whose experience covers it.
A private room, not a feed
Every conversation is 1:1 and closed. Nothing is posted, nothing is public, nobody is performing.
Save what actually helps
Star a message and it lands in Saved, so the sentence that unlocked something is there in six months.
Questions
The ones people actually ask.
You choose the challenges you are navigating. Mentors are scored on how much of your list their lived experience covers — so a mentor who has been through both of your two things ranks above one with twenty unrelated expertise tags. The overlap is shown on every card, so you can see why someone appeared.
No, and that is deliberate. The challenge list covers trades, kitchens, wards, sites, studios and shops alongside corporate careers. A second-year apprentice electrician and a marketing director are both in the right place here.
Yes. Every conversation is a closed 1:1 room between two people. Nothing is posted publicly, there is no feed, and other members cannot see your conversations or who you are talking to.
You can leave a conversation at any point without giving a reason, and the other person is not told why. Declining to carry on is normal here and carries no penalty.
Star any message the other person sent and it appears in your Saved tab, with the conversation it came from. It is for the sentence you will want again in six months, when the same situation comes round.
Any woman who has navigated something specific and is willing to talk about it honestly. You do not need a title, a certification, or a coaching qualification. You need to have been there.
No. You can sign in with an email link, and connect LinkedIn separately if you want your profile to carry that verification. Plenty of the work represented here does not live on LinkedIn at all.
Yes, and many are. Most women are mentoring on the thing they already survived while looking for help with the thing in front of them right now.
