The Come Alive Podcast with Meher Mirchandani

A dynamic entrepreneur, INSEAD MBA, and mother of three - Yulia Fedorishina is the force behind Ribambelle, a beloved family-centered brand that grew from a single idea into a thriving network of businesses across Russia, Central Asia, and the Middle East.

Her story is one of bold reinvention: from the structured world of PwC to the unpredictable terrain of entrepreneurship; from young corporate professional to global business owner; from new mother to a leader who builds through intuition, trust, and feminine energy.

Yulia’s journey is rooted in the belief that business can be built with heart - and that motherhood is not an obstacle, but a powerful lens that shapes vision, empathy, and resilience.

In this intimate and soulful conversation with Meher Mirchandani on The Come Alive Podcast, Yulia opens up about partnership, expansion, cultural transitions, living in the Middle East, and the deep self-discovery that comes from being tested by life.

She speaks honestly about balancing ambition with motherhood, leading across borders, and raising children who understand courage not through words - but through example.

In This Episode, we talk about:

What partnership teaches us about trust, surrender, and shared leadership

Why motherhood can become a powerful business compass

How to redefine balance as a modern working mother
