In this episode I chat with Jasmijn Kok about her entrepreneurial journey.

Jasmijn is the CEO & COO of Nina.care, a company she co-founded with her twin sister, Lyla. Their goal is to help families find the perfect match with au pairs and nannies.

We dive deep into all the pivotal moments that shaped her journey, from how her upbringing fostered her business mindset, to the courage it took to leave a promising architecture career to build her own venture. We also talk about the power of trusting your intuition, knowing and leaning into your strengths, the challenges of starting and scaling a company, and how she’s maturing as a leader as her company grows.

If you’re considering a career shift or looking for insights on launching your own business, you’ll love this episode – it’s full of practical advice and inspiration!

In this episode, I sit down with Evie Naufal to unpack her career journey: from a childhood dream of becoming a journalist to now owning and managing a successful business.

Evie is Managing Director of DSC, Australia's leading NDIS educators, and also happens to be my best friend and one of my biggest cheerleaders.

We reflect on her early aspirations, business school experience, and pivotal internship at Procter & Gamble. Our conversation touches on the challenges and growth that come with running a family business, her transition to Managing Director, and building a company culture that prioritizes respect and autonomy. We also delve into what fulfillment in work truly means and the importance of following one’s curiosity instead of chasing prestige.
