Our Story
What started as collective observations between women in public health turned into an entrepreneurial idea from which SAYge Link was born. We noticed that social disconnect was on the rise, despite the increasing hyper-connection that technology was bringing. We ourselves were feeling disconnected, lonely, invisible, and the mixed bag of emotions that come with being a woman in today’s world. We saw mounting evidence including Dr. Julianne Holt-Lundstad’s landmark research which concluded “that a lack of social connection is comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.” Additional research on invisibility, vulnerability, and social disconnect were gaining traction, too. Despite this knowledge, we unfortunately saw there were still gaps that our fast-paced world was overlooking.
We created SAYge Link to cultivate what was lost in the void. Since then, we’ve been on a mission to listen to women in our community and create a healthier ecosystem in which women from all walks can share their stories and connect with one another to give and get the meaningful support they need.
We all have a story. Why not connect with others through them?
Our Future
We’re creating an unprecedented platform that uses the power of storytelling to connect you with other women who’ve been there. Simplified prompts guide you on how to easily share your story, in case you don’t know where to begin.
Personalized support networks, at your fingertips.

SAYge Real Stories is our free podcast series built around real women who’ve stepped forward to openly share specific obstacles they’ve faced, in the hopes that other women find comfort and value from their stories.

SAYge Real Stories: Female Founders is our focused podcast and newsletter series born out of our own wild journey in the entrepreneurial landscape. In this special series, we connect with other visionary women fulfilling their purposes amidst the ups and downs of life and share their stories with you.
