Join me for one of the most transformative conversations I’ve had — with Suman Jalaf, the international brow artist who changed the global beauty game by proving that confidence can be rebuilt one brow at a time.

If you’ve ever felt like your face doesn’t express the power you feel inside, or if you’ve struggled with how you look affecting how you show up, this episode will stay with you long after.

Guest Journey Snapshot

Suman Jalaf didn’t start out as the brow artist trusted by celebrities, royals, and global creators. Her journey began with humility, hustle, and the determination to create a space where women could feel truly seen.

From training across continents to building a loyal international clientele, Suman shares how every step of her career was driven by one mission:

to give women the brows that honour their face, their identity, and their confidence.

What she opens up about isn’t a résumé — it’s the emotional, human side of transforming faces, the pressure of perfection, the responsibility of trust, and the moments where her work became deeply personal.

Conversation Highlights

• Why brows matter so much.

• What the right eye brow shape is, color is and how you can find your perfect match. 

• The art of “micro-enhancements” — tiny brow changes that instantly lift, reshape, and refine the face without altering your natural beauty.

• The truth about brow mistakes — over-threading, over-plucking, tinting errors, and the myths social media has created.

• How to find your brow shape — the universal rules every woman should know.

Who This Episode Is For (and Why to Watch)

This is for every woman who has ever stood in front of the mirror and felt disconnected from her reflection.

For the overworked mom, the bride-to-be, the woman returning to work, the one rebuilding after a tough year — if you want to feel more like yourself, this episode is your masterclass.

You’ll understand not just brows… but the deeper relationship we all have with our faces, and why enhancing them isn’t vanity — it’s self-respect.

Key Takeaways

✨ Brows shape identity — changing them can shift how the world sees you.

💫 Natural beats dramatic — enhancement, not reinvention.

🔍 Confidence is often one detail away — a shape, a lift, a stroke.

❤️ Beauty can be healing — when done with intention, not insecurity.

🧭 Your face deserves expertise — stop trusting trends over trained hands.

Join me for one of the most eye-opening conversations I’ve had as a mother and a creator — featuring Sidhika Goenka, parenting strategist and founder of the Inner Compass System.

This episode will shift the way you think about raising teens and pre-teens, connection at home, and what it truly means to build emotionally intelligent families.

Sidhika Goenka’s journey began with the simple realization that repeating instructions to her child wasn’t working — it was breaking connection.

Through the Inner Compass Parenting System she’s helped thousands of parents raise future-ready kids while staying true to their own ambitions. Her story is about finding calm, confidence, and connection in parenthood.

Whether your child is seven or seventeen, Sidhika’s tools will help you build trust, confidence, and lifelong communication.Key takeaways✨ Connection over control: mistakes are opportunities to connect.✨ Activate the inner compass: self-motivation comes from ownership.✨ Listen more, advise less: give space for kids to think.✨ Regulate before you react: calm parents create safe children.✨ Your tone matters: the way you speak becomes their inner voice.Watch at 1.5x speed for a faster, more efficient listen.

Join me for one of the most clarifying and quietly powerful conversations I’ve had on the show — with Yasmin Karachiwala, a fitness instructor who’s spent three decades teaching women how to turn strength into freedom. If you’ve ever felt guilty about not “being consistent,” this episode will change the way you see movement, ageing and worth.Yasmin’s story reads like a masterclass in consistency and care: she’s built a career over 30+ years by quietly refusing shortcuts and by choosing truth over trends. From early studios to training long-term clients (including people who’ve stayed with her for decades), Yasmin has watched fads come and go — and learned to translate fitness into daily resilience. Her work isn’t about chasing an image; it’s about giving women the physical power to lift children without pain, sleep better, and feel less exhausted by life. This episode traces that arc — a practitioner who turned personal conviction into a lifetime of practical, compassionate coaching.Conversation highlights* Why muscle matters: the single most important thing Indian women can do for long-term health — not vanity, but survival, sleep, energy and freedom.* Pilates vs strength vs functional training: what each gives you, when to use them, and how Pilates quietly blends strength and stretch to reduce injury.* The messy middle of fitness: real talk on post-pregnancy strength, back pain, and the moment you realise fitness is about function (lifting kids, carrying groceries, staying energetic).* Nutrition with no judgement: protein minimums, the sugar trap, “healthy” desserts that still pack calories, and a practical plate-based approach to weight goals.* Rest, recovery and the smarter workout: why rest is as important as sweat, how to read your body, and how a good instructor adapts a session to your day.* Authenticity over hype: why certifications, standards and honesty beat viral promises — and the danger of trainers selling quick fixes on social media.Whether you’ve never touched a weight, you’re recovering from burnout, or you’ve tried every trend and still don’t feel stronger — this episode will reframe what fitness actually gives you. Listen if you want practical clarity, fewer myths, and a heartfelt roadmap to moving through life with more strength and less fear.
