What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text!

Have you ever been struck by the profound power of a sincere "How are you?"

Nirjary Desai, an exceptional event curator for celebrities and brands, joins us to unravel the art of genuine connection and its transformative impact on entrepreneurship and life.

Our heartfelt conversation kicks off with a straight-up, down-to-Earth, vulnerable share from Nirjary about where she is REALLY at with her business right now, discussing how stepping into motherhood has shifted her business and her priorities.

We dig into what it truly means to be a female entrepreneur today, and where we set these "ideal" expectations on ourselves as business owners.

We shed light on the often neglected truth that sometimes, the strength to surge ahead in business and personal growth comes from the courage to step back and care for ourselves.

We discuss the art pf balancing family and business, emphasizing the pursuit of joy over perfection and the vital role of support networks, including therapy. Our dialogue touches on how cultural influences can unexpectedly shape fulfilling career paths, providing a unique perspective for anyone seeking to navigate the complex intersection of personal satisfaction and professional success.
