Ponytales is not just a platform; it’s a celebration of women’s voices, experiences, and journeys.
Women are at the forefront of global transformation, their voices and experiences more critical than ever as the world grapples with uncertainty. Ponytales is the platform where we celebrate those voices – the triumphs, the missteps, the humour, the wisdom – and amplify their power to shape the world we want.
Through a dynamic combination of podcasts, written stories, and artworks from leading femme artists, Ponytales provides a space for women to share their everyday moments and transcendent transformations.
At Ponytales, our mission is clear: to empower women to share their stories and inspire others.
Through laughter, irony, experiences, observations, and moments, we explore how mishaps can lead to metamorphoses, and how sharing our stories can catalyze personal and collective growth. By opening doors, sharing the floor, and multiplying our impact, we strive to become more enterprising in solving the world’s big challenges.
We can make change through laughter, irony, experiences, ennui, observations, and moments. We can learn lessons on how to fail forward, how funny, and fear full, failure is, how to walk the road, what others did before us on that path. We can open doors, share the floor, and multiply our impact to deliver more.
Ponytales explores these questions and more, drawing inspiration from real women who refuse to be defined by setbacks or convention.
Ponytales is a space where raw, honest stories meet inspiring artwork. Our podcast, hosted by the brilliant award-winning opera star Golda Schultz and produced by Amy Shelver, dives deep into conversations with women who dared to fail, dared to try again, and dared to change the narrative. Join us as they journey to discover and collect women’s stories of mishaps and metamorphoses in a changing world where the power balance is shifting, but not always towards greater equality.
And our written platform invites you to share your own journey – the moments that made you who you are – in a way that creates connection and unlocks new potential.
