We often see achievements and highlight reels but rarely discuss the failures required for success. Sharmila Achari and I honestly share the darkness she experienced in her career (Law, Politics, and Finance) that drove her to invest in herself, have unwavering faith in her gifts, and filter for genuinely supportive people. We also highlight the benefits of unpleasant experiences as they clarify how WE want to show up and our motivation to create more goodness in the world.
