Kvinna & Företagare

Building conversations people were
not used to hearing publicly.

Between 2017 and 2019, House of ÆRA founder Diana Svensson co-created and hosted the podcast Kvinna & Företagare together with ADHD expert and advocate Cissi Hansson. What started as an independent podcast quickly grew into one of Sweden's most talked-about emerging business podcasts, climbing podcast charts and attracting attention for its raw honesty, transparency and unfiltered conversations around entrepreneurship, mental health, performance and identity.

Kvinna & Företagare — Bästa Kvinnliga Podden 2020

Kvinna & Företagare — awarded Best Women's Podcast in Sweden, 2020.

Background
About the project

At a time when business content was often polished, filtered and overly curated,
Kvinna & Företagare stood out by doing the opposite.

The podcast explored entrepreneurship behind the scenes, ADHD and high performance, mental health, female entrepreneurship, stress and burnout, self-worth and ambition, public image vs reality, social pressure and expectations, and the emotional reality of building a business.

The rapid growth of the podcast was not driven by large production budgets or corporate backing. It was driven by authentic storytelling, strong personalities, strategic communication, audience understanding, emotional connection and cultural relevance.

The project became an early example of what House of ÆRA believes strongly in today: People connect with honesty before they connect with perfection.

Beyond content creation itself, the podcast showcased deep expertise within communication strategy, audience engagement, personal branding, PR value creation, community building, storytelling, organic digital growth and conversational content formats.

The attention surrounding the podcast demonstrated how powerful transparent communication can become when paired with strategic positioning and strong narrative identity.

Results
Outcome

At House of ÆRA, we understand that modern brands are no longer built only through campaigns.
They are built through conversations people remember.

The award validated what the audience already knew: this was a podcast that didn't play by the rules, and that was precisely why it won.

"We didn't set out to win an award. We set out to tell the truth, and the audience showed up."

— Diana Svensson, Kvinna & Företagare
