In this podcast episode, you can listen to the strategies she implemented to change the trajectory of her career which enabled her to outsource work, increase her rates, and secure higher-paying projects. You will also learn about the challenges and triumphs Harshini faced as she navigated motherhood, low self-esteem, and learning her worth in a competitive industry.

A real gem 💎!!!

Heidi does an incredible job of curating her guests. Amazing content and such valuable information in an industry that is so secretive!
Haven’t heard or seen anything else that shares all the ins and outs of the fashion industry so openly.
