New York! *in Alicia Keys' voice* “If you can make it there, you can make it anywhere” or so the saying goes. As you all know, Shivani and Chinaza are Jersey girls so we needed expert advice from our good sis and guest, Gabby Whiten! Gabby Whiten is a New York City-based freelance digital creative and visual designer. She’s worked with brands like Dunkin’, Madewell, and Ulta Beauty to create high quality content. On top of that, she is a PhD candidate in biomedical sciences at New York University School of Medicine! We covered so much ground: building a new life in a new city, graphic design hacks, graduate school, gatekeeping in the medical field, and balancing side hustles and professional pursuits! "There’s nothing you can’t do" listening to this pod!

Very rarely do we meet a politician so outrightly eager about changing the system to work for all Americans, especially the most marginalized among us. Meet Ashmi Sheth, candidate for US Congress in NY-10! Sheth has been spending her 20s advocating on the streets of New York City, and her ideas span across small businesses, climate change, and even broader social change! Take a seat at our table and learn a thing or two about our family backgrounds, cultural foods, and how you can support her campaign!

For those that know Shivani and Chinaza or just have been listening to the pod for a bit, know that Chinaza is the tea girl and Shivani is the coffee addict. And so when they got the opportunity to speak to THE founder and CEO of Saxby's, Nick Bayer, they had to jump at the chance. Nick's philosophy follows through with his company as he considers Saxby's to be a social impact company fueled by amazing food, beverage, and hospitality. Saxby's has grown to a nearly 30-unit Philadelphia-based business with a singular mission: Make Life Better. Tune in to get the tea about Nick Bayer's story!

Not only is she Harvard educated, but she has the voice of an angel and a musical mission that has touched the lives of many. We invited Bombay and Boston based artist and creator, Avanti Nagral to chat with us! Drawing inspiration from her background in Indian classical and soul music, Avanti thrives at the intersection of pop and soul. She challenges societal norms and aims to reclaim the way young girls see themselves, around the world. Avanti has also spoken and performed at the United Nations and TEDx conferences, been nominated for ‘Best Actress in a leading role’ at the National Theater Awards in India, and has performed at venues and festivals across India, the US, and Southeast Asia. Along with her many achievements, she has the most amazing sense of humor. We laughed about name pronunciations in our childhood past, reconnecting with old classmates, and our imperfections! By the end of this pod, you'll learn that music has the power to not only change the society, but to change souls. Prepare to be inspired!

“When you focus on your own success, you won’t get the results you want, you’ll get the results you need.” Hard to believe, but apparently, one of us said those wise words! In this day and age, it can be SO hard to STAY IN YOUR OWN LANE. With jealousy, competitiveness, and toxicity literally fueling our society, it can be hard to stay focused on YOU. It can often feel like nobody is truly on your team and nobody wants you to win! But like Shivani says, sometimes, you just gotta wave at the haters! From toxic competition, to the woes of Linkedin, to gatekeeping in academia, to gut feelings, you will learn how to embrace confidence with this pod. Because confidence is free, but you pay a price of jealousy!
