Hello my beautiful people. This week, I had the honor of sitting down with Rooshy Roy, Co-Founder & CEO AAVRANI, a skincare line that unites India’s all-natural approach with clinically-proven science. As a first generation Indian-American, Rooshy would often make her own skincare with her mom, who showed Rooshy how to harness the power of raw ingredients—like turmeric & sweet almond oil—to maintain beautiful skin. As an adult searching for an easier way to access such ancient Indian rituals, Rooshy was inspired to create her own brand. Before launching the AAVRANI brand in 2020, Rooshy worked in Finance at a couple house hold names including Goldman Sachs. This all changed when she began her MBA program at  Wharton in 2019, where she would meet her future co-founder and bring the idea of Aavrani to life. She is a 2020 Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree in the Retail & E-Commerce category. She is also just an incredible kind human who will make you feel so at ease and comforted while you take in all of the wisdom she has to share. As always, meet us in the comments section after the episode to tell us what you think and give Rooshy some love. Now let’s get over to my conversation with Rooshy.

You can find Rooshy on Instagram @rooshyroy & @aavrani

Enjoy!

This week’s guest is Katie Gebhardt, an incredibly talented interior designer and the founder of Solstice Interiors, a full-service interior design firm based in San Diego, CA. Her projects have been featured in Domino, Lonny, Design Milk, Dezeen, The Venue Report, and more. She was also honored by San Diego Magazine as the 2019 'Best Interior Design Firm. She also happens to be my college roommate!

We spend most of this conversation laughing, as old friends do, but what I love about this episode is how far we both have come. If you are in the building phase of your career or still in school, and everything feels overwhelming, I hope this episode reminds you to be easy on yourself and enjoy the un-glamorous journey of figuring sh*t out. You can find Katie on instagram @katiegeb and @solsticeinteriors.

Hello beautiful people!

You are listening to episode 1 of the Woman Inc. Podcast, I could not be more excited, honored and grateful that you are here with me.

Let’s get right to it because I know my girls have places to be and checks to write. I am going to let you guys into a little secret I haven’t told anyone until now. This year, I wrote out these words: “2020 is the year I become the woman of my dreams.” If only I knew what was coming for us this year!

But I made a COMMITMENT to her, so when the world went into chaos, I asked myself, what would it look like for you to be in your power? No matter how stressful, uncertain, or difficult life becomes.

I knew that making this declaration was going to require a new version of me that I had never yet become. It was going to disrupt the limiting beliefs that felt safe and the negative habits that felt second nature. I knew that choosing my future self, meant surrendering the version of me that no longer served my highest purpose. You might be thinking, jenna, of course you want to become the woman of your dreams. That’s a no-brainer. But hear me out:

Building who you want to become requires you to examine every ounce of yourself with complete transparency. It means you can no longer hide from the parts of yourself that you don’t like. You have to come clean and say, you deserve more— where are we playing small? And then you have to do the most uncomfortable step of all— you have to step up into someone who you have only dreamed of in your mind, but have never actually introduced the world to. This means fighting for who you are becoming while the natural response of everyone around you is to remind you of who you’ve been.

Have you ever been here? Even people who LOVE you will come for you with data points of why your dream self doesn’t make sense because they know more about who you have been EXTERNALLY then what you have dreamt of INTERNALLY.  It requires a next level self-belief and commitment. No wonder 80% of new years resolutions fail. It makes complete logical sense to desire growth, but if we don’t acknowledge what we’re up against— we will quit as soon as we feel too uncomfortable.

I started this podcast because I know there are brilliant, beautiful, and passionate women who are ready to step into their next level, and the only thing holding them back is themselves.

Will you do something for me? Will you come on this journey with me? Will you take a close look at the woman you dream to become, and maybe for the first time, look her in the eyes and say I am coming for you and no one can stop me, not even myself. Not EVEN 2020. Every Friday, I’m releasing a new episode where together, we will walk through how to transform and become our most passionate, joyful, successful, and powerful selves. Whether it be interviews with inspiring entrepreneurs and business women, coaching sessions to go deeper, or inside talks with each other, I will be here, in your corner reminding you over and over again that who you desire to be is not on accident.

This podcast is for women who want to invest in themselves and build a life of freedom, fulfillment, and success. If you struggle with lack of finances, focus, direction, fulfillment, or self belief, I’ve got you covered.. Maybe you have big dreams and drive, but feel stuck and don’t know how to start— start here. If I could describe my dream for what I’d like this podcast to bring you in 5 words, it would be: transformation, inspiration, self-care, elevation, and sisterhood. My mission is to create a community of women who are the most confident, successful, and happy women you know. Women who are speaking on stages, starting companies, getting featured in magazines, healing themselves, and creating a life beyond their fears.

Everything you authentically desire for yourself can actualize if you know how to call it out of yourself, and Woman Inc. is here to help you do just that.

Let’s pretend we’re all in my living room, every week, drinking a glass of wine or sipping a cozy tea, bringing exec level strategy to the dreams that have lived in your head for far too long.

I believe the Woman Inc. network will get bigger and stronger every day and that our generation’s leaders are on the other side of this recording. I will bring you everything I’ve got. Imperfectly and openly guiding you, and bringing on guests who do the same.

Make sure to subscribe so that you never miss an episode, and please please please say hello, introduce yourself, message me on instagram, join our Woman Inc. insiders Facebook group, and share this with a friend you love.

Thank you so much for turning in. Until next time, keep becoming the woman of your wildest dreams.
