You’re watching The Paula Faris Show featuring a new friend,  Aarti “Parti” Sequeira! If you love food, you’ve probably seen her regularly on The Food Network or rubbing elbows with some of the world’s top chefs. But the culinary world is something Aarti never saw coming; she actually went to school to be a journalist. So, what happens when life takes you in an unexpected direction? And, what happens when you still feel unqualified, even when you’ve “made it”?

We unpack it all with Aarti–her imposter syndrome, how she continually pushed herself out of her comfort zone, plus we get personal as she talks about growing up in Dubai, meeting her husband at age 18, and her intense battle with postpartum depression. 

We also explore the one thing we need to do before we cook and work. And, as usual,  I’m asking Aarti some of your burning questions! (You won’t believe the secret of some of the top chefs!!) 

Life Happens, friends. Let’s Talk About It!
