What happens when someone refuses to follow the usual path?
In this episode of Dear Paarijaat, I sit down with Dr. Amanda Wilson - orthodontist, entrepreneur, educator, and proud member of the neurodivergent community.
From an unconventional childhood to helping scale a dental startup toward a billion-dollar IPO, Amanda shares stories about resilience, thinking differently, parenting outside the box, and why some of life's biggest advantages come from the very things that make us different.
A thoughtful, honest, and often surprising conversation about success, confidence, family, and finding your own way.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought, “I should write a book… but what next?”

Because writing is just the start. Positioning is everything.

In this conversation on Dear Paarijaat Podcast, I sit down with Lily Patrascu - someone who has built her entire career around helping people turn their ideas into powerful personal brands and books that actually open doors.

We talk about what most people get wrong about publishing, why a book is more than just a product, and how the right positioning can take you from “just another voice” to someone people actually listen to.

Lily shares real insights from working with entrepreneurs, CEOs, and thought leaders, along with her own journey of building influence, speaking on global stages, and creating opportunities through storytelling.

If you’re serious about building something around your voice - this episode will change how you think.
