This is a bittersweet moment for me as this will be the last episode of Season 1 of the I F’d Up! podcast. I’ll be back with Season 2 in the fall!

In this episode, I sit down with the founder of Embiria, Palak Dave.

Palak is a versatile entrepreneur, speaker, and now most recently author of "Beautiful Everydays: A Guidebook to Living in the Here and Now." Formerly an award-winning marketer, Palak noticed the lack of IRL opportunities to build community and relationships. This led her to make the leap to leave the corporate world in 2017 and embark on a new journey, founding Embiria, a community for women who want to elevate their life. Through Embiria, she inspires individuals to shift from digital distractions to embracing the beauty of the present moment. In this episode we dive into Palak’s mindset around perfectionism, the importance of intentional rest, and the need to bring humanness and empathy in everything we do, which rolls into her I f’d up moment as a founder. This was such an uplifting and honest conversation and the perfect way to end the season. So join me as we jump into this episode of I F’d Up!
