Welcome back to the pod! So excited to have you listening in this week, and joining me and a special guest: Annika Sharma! Annika is a podcaster, author and full-time creative who has used her voice to amplify the voices of other South Asians in the community. This week, we sit down and chat about her experience navigating her creative career, what her journey as an author has looked like and how motherhood has changed her. If there's any episode I want my female audience to listen to and resonate with, it's this one. As women, we face so much pressure to choose motherhood, be "the perfect mother" and put always put ourselves second. On this episode, Annika and I chat through how she's figured out the mom guilt, set strong boundaries and taken up space in a way that empowers her to be a better woman and even better mother. I am truly so excited for you to listen in today. Grab a cup of chai, get cozy and welcome to an episode that feels like a hug!
