Ambition, Motherhood & Showing Up Online as Your True Self with Puja Malhotra

There’s no rule book for running a business and raising kids — and the picture-perfect version we see on social media often does more harm than good. In this episode, Puja and I go deep into the reality of ambition, motherhood, and identity as women entrepreneurs.

From introvert-friendly ways to show up online, to the importance of separating your personal brand from your business brand, to letting go of the “balance” myth, Puja shares how she’s built a sustainable business while staying true to herself. Whether you’re a fellow creative, a small business owner, or a mom navigating similar challenges, you’ll walk away with both validation and actionable strategies.

We chat about:

💡 The difference between “balance” and “harmony” in work and life

🚫 The myth of the “perfect” working mom image online
