The One About 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.
