Today I’m joined by my very first podcast guest (!!), @nadyaokamoto — entrepreneur, creator, and changemaker. We dive into everything from starting young in entrepreneurship to overcoming burnout, balancing relationships, and her best advice for thriving in your 20s.

You may know Nadya as the co-founder of August. I chose her as my first guest because she’s been such an inspiration to me — I admire how boldly she lives true to herself.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did 💛 Let me know your thoughts or any questions that come up after listening!
