What happens when a “good Desi girl” decides she’s done pleasing everyone but herself? Author, life coach, and internet personality Mahvish Ahmad blew up her old life to finally claim her power — sexually, emotionally, and spiritually.

In this episode, I sit down with Mahvish — who has completely redefined what it means to be a fulfilled Desi woman.

From growing up under the weight of "good girl" expectations to experiencing a profound sexual and spiritual awakening, Mahvish shares how she broke free from cultural conditioning, healed past trauma, and reclaimed her voice, her body, and her life.

We talk about everything from parenting teens and navigating Desi marriages, to building boundaries, owning your sensuality, and what it truly means to live unapologetically as a South Asian woman in her 40s.

If you're a high-achieving woman, a CEO, or someone on a personal growth journey — this episode will challenge, inspire, and empower you to live on your terms.
