LeadHer Magazine Launches January 2026 to Spotlight the Raw, Real Journeys of Female Founders

New quarterly publication blends unfiltered storytelling, founder wellness, capital journeys, and lessons learned to amplify women building boldly.

Ann Arbor, MI - September 5th, 2025 - LeadHer Magazine, a groundbreaking quarterly publication for vision-driven women, announces the debut of its first issue in January 2026. Unlike traditional business or lifestyle outlets, LeadHer will spotlight the real, raw, and rising journeys of female founders - from bold launches to burnout recoveries.

“LeadHer Magazine isn’t about highlight reels - it’s about real stories,” said Veronica McGibney, Founder and Editor-in-Chief. “We’re here to amplify women building businesses while juggling identity, resilience, motherhood, and the unspoken realities of entrepreneurship. This is a space for those voices to rise and be heard.”

Inside LeadHer Magazine

Each issue features a mix of storytelling, reflection, and insight through signature sections:

• The Big Reveal - Founder launches, rebrands, and bold go-to-market moments. The “I did it” stories told with honesty about the messy process behind them.

• Balance & Burnout - Unfiltered explorations of founder mental health, resilience, and the hidden costs of chasing a vision.

• Founder Lessons - Mistakes, pivots, and leadership shifts that shaped the journey, with “what I’d tell my past self” reflections.

• Funding Focus - Capital journeys, pitching experiences, and financial pivots that spotlight women-led companies raising funds.

• The Unedited Page - Raw founder essays and realizations: deeply personal reflections on fear, failure, identity, motherhood, and transformation.

LeadHer is designed to fill critical gaps in today’s media:

• Unfiltered Journeys - celebrating resilience, mistakes, and comebacks.

“LeadHer isn’t just a magazine,” McGibney added. “It’s a place to change the rules and narrative. A place for female founders to know that they are not alone.
