THE LONE DREAMER

In this short but powerful episode, we explore the emotional cycle of binge eating and the shame that often follows. From the triggers to the aftermath, Mahrzad shares honest reflections and gentle strategies for healing. If you’ve ever felt trapped in this loop, know this: you’re not alone, and recovery starts with compassion.

In this reflective and deeply personal episode, I take a step back to look at the winding road that’s brought me to where I am today. For years, I wore many hats, some by choice, others by necessity. I was the so-called "jack of all trades." At times, I wondered if that label was a limitation... but now, I wear it as a badge of honour. Every skill I picked up, every challenge I faced, and every seemingly unrelated chapter played a role in shaping the man I’ve become. This episode is about honouring that journey, the messy, beautiful, unconventional path, and recognizing that being multifaceted is not just okay, it's powerful.

Join me as I unpack the lessons, stories, and turning points that led me here, to a life built not by mastering one thing, but by embracing the many.

In this short episode of The Lone Dreamer, I step away from the usual format to shine a light on the woman who made it all possible, my mom. This is not just a thank you; it’s a tribute to the quiet resilience, unshakable faith, and boundless love that shaped my path. I’ll share moments from her journey, the sacrifices she made, the courage she modeled, and the strength she passed down without ever needing to say a word.

She taught me how to dream alone, not because I had to, but because I could. Because she made sure I knew my worth, even when the world didn't. This is for all mothers, the silent warriors, and anyone who’s ever found their wings through the quiet power of someone else's belief.

In this episode, I wanted to dive deep into how I started in fashion and what pushed me to embark on this challenging journey.

Hey dreamers, in this introductory episode, I wanted to break down the fundamental principles behind what it truly means to be a lone dreamer, and explain to you all why I decided to launch my very own podcast. This is raw, this is intimate, this is real, this is the Lone Dreamer Podcast. Welcome home.
