This call is not a sales pitch. It is a conversation.
15-minutes with Anna — to talk through where you are, what you are navigating, and whether HerSphere can help. No agenda, no obligation, no script.
If you are a woman in the UAE who is rebuilding after loss or divorce, figuring out your finances, or trying to start a business and not sure where to begin — this call is for you.

Why Do I Do What I Do
I’ve lived and worked in the UAE for 25 years, as a wife and a mother at first and then as an entrepreneur and for a long time as someone who thought she had it all figured out. Then life changed overnight. Suddenly, I was navigating the legal system, financial responsibilities, and the weight of building a future alone, in a country that isn’t always easy to navigate, even when you’ve been here for decades. I built HerSphere because no woman should have to figure all of this out alone.”

Sphere Insights
Become HerSphere Partner
HerSphere is a curated community of women in the UAE who are rebuilding their lives and building their businesses. They are making real decisions — about their health, their finances, their daily lives — and they are actively looking for businesses they can trust.
We partner with a small number of UAE businesses that genuinely serve this audience. Not advertisers. Partners — businesses that offer our members something of real value, and that share our commitment to women's independence and wellbeing.
Current partner categories: wellness and beauty, co-working spaces, health and fitness, legal and PRO services, business coaching, hospitality, and financial services.
Founding partner slots are limited. If you think there is a fit — tell us about your business by filling out this form.
Most of us don't think about what happens to our bank account when we're gone. Then a friend mentions a widow who couldn't pay her children's school fees for weeks because her late husband's account — the one they'd shared for a decade — was frozen the moment the bank found out he'd died. Suddenly it's not a hypothetical.
A good number of the women in our community set up a business licence here for the first time after a divorce, a bereavement, or simply a decision to finally build something of their own. Many of them opened a business bank account alone — signed the paperwork, agreed to a fee schedule they didn't have a lawyer double-check, and hoped for the best. From mid-September 2026, they'll have considerably more protection than they had a year ago.
A 40-year-old professional assumes their pension will be enough but has never calculated their retirement income needs. With 25 working years remaining, the gap between assumption and reality has time to be closed—but only if it is identified now.
Retirement planning in the UAE sits in a particular category of financial conversations that people consistently postpone. There is always a reason — the children need something, the business needs investment, there is a move coming, a job change planned. And retirement feels distant enough that deferring feels safe.
It is not safe. And for expats in the UAE, it carries a specific risk that does not apply in countries with state pension systems: there is no fallback. No UAE government pension for expat residents. No universal credit. No NHS. When you stop earning, everything comes from what you have built.
That makes the calculation not just useful—it is essential.
