What happens when the career you worked hard to build no longer feels like the career you want?

Lex Niko had worked at some of the biggest names in tech—including Google, Amazon, and Pinterest—when she decided to take a chance on something far less predictable: herself.

Today, Lex is a host, media personality, brand consultant, and the founder of Conversation Starters, a media company dedicated to keeping people in the cultural conversation. She has built an audience of more than 400,000 people and partnered with brands including Prime Video, the NFL, F1, F1 Academy, Meta, and E! News/NBCUniversal.

In this conversation, Lex and Blomma founder Silvia Oviedo talk about the messy middle between knowing you want something different and actually doing something about it. They explore how curiosity can become a career compass, why confidence often comes after the leap—not before it—and what it really takes to build a public-facing career online.

Lex also shares what she has learned about ambition, imposter syndrome, rest, and staying kind in industries that reward constant visibility.
