In this episode of Beyond Limits, Olivia sits down with Rachel Wong—the co-founder of Monday Girl, one of North America's fastest-growing networking platforms for professional women.
What started as a Sunday afternoon coffee chat between two strangers turned into a movement with thousands of members across cities like Toronto, New York, San Francisco, and London.
Rachel opens up about bootstrapping Monday Girl while working at Uber, what it’s really like to build a brand with your co-founder from day one, and why creating space for soft power is the future of women-led networking.
She and Liv go deep into what makes a Monday Girl so magnetic, how to protect feminine leadership in a tech bro world, and why access is everything in your 20s and 30s.
Key Takeaways:
📌 Your network isn’t built overnight—it’s built by going where you feel seen.
Rachel shares how she created the networking space she was searching for (and what most women secretly hate about traditional events).
💡 The business wasn’t the plan—the mission was.

Rachel shares what building inside Uber taught her about leadership, scaling, and making power moves as the only woman in the room.
🛑 They said no to VC funding—and it saved them.
This episode breaks down what bootstrapping actually looks like and why VC isn’t the only path to success.
💬 The “Monday Girl” energy is real.
There’s a reason women across North America show up again and again—Rachel explains who this community is for(and who it’s not).
