In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I sit down with my dear friend Charm — a woman whose resilience, grace, and quiet strength have left a lasting impact on everyone who knows her.

From navigating the pain of a divorce and the heartbreak of a long-distance relationship to finding herself again through movement, creativity, and self-love, Charm opens up about her incredible journey of healing. Together, we talk about rebuilding after loss, the courage it takes to walk away from what doesn’t serve you, and the beauty of slowing down to truly listen to your mind and body.

We also dive into her fitness journey, her first half marathon, her unexpected Lego obsession, and the personalized greeting cards she sketches that remind us all of the power of human connection.

If you’ve ever questioned your worth, your path, or your ability to begin again — this one is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with someone who’s not only my 6am gym buddy—but a woman I admired long before I ever met her. Eisha is the founder of E3K, a jewelry brand she built from scratch while pregnant, during the pandemic, with no blueprint… just belief, support, and a quiet determination to try.

She’s a wife, a mother of two, an entrepreneur, a passionate foodie, and someone who still makes space for her own joy—whether it’s training at 6am, planning food tours, or sitting quietly on her balcony doing nothing at all.

We talk about mom guilt, starting over, the emotional chaos of building something from scratch, and what it really means to choose yourself in the middle of everything else.

If you’ve ever wondered when the right time is to start something—this episode is for you.

If you’ve ever felt pulled in all directions—this episode is for you.

If you just need to hear that it’s okay to start small—this episode is for you.

In this episode, I sit down with someone who makes me laugh at 6 AM before my brain is even awake—my gym buddy and dear friend, Zerene.

She’s a full-time professional, a mom, a wife, and someone who’s experienced the many shifts that come with motherhood, career changes, and rediscovering yourself in the middle of it all.

We talk about life before and after becoming a mom, the unexpected lessons that followed, and what it really means to create space for yourself without guilt. From carving out time in small, meaningful ways to learning the importance of presence over perfection, this episode is a reminder that self-prioritization isn’t selfish—it’s necessary.

✨ Whether you’re a working mom, someone looking for a push to do something for yourself, or just here for a real conversation with two friends—you’ll find something in here for you.

In this first episode, I share why I started this journey. Growing up in a South Asian household, I saw women always putting others first, often neglecting their own well-being. It made me wonder—was it truly their choice?

Prioritizing my mental and physical health changed everything for me. When someone told me I had inspired them, my first thought was Why Me? But then I realized—Why Not Me?

This series isn’t about lessons, just real stories worth hearing. If it inspires even one person, that’s a win for all of us.
