    S6 Ep 5 - Zainab Jeewanjee - Benefits Director, OPEN Silicon Valley "Synergy 2025" Conference Chair

    Zainab Jeewanjee is a relationship-driven leader who believes “service is sales, and sales is service” and thus her work is rooted in service as a deepest form of connection. She exemplifies this in her actions, and so much of what she shares with Farah throughout this conversation. A Bay Area native, writer, yogi, and global thinker, Zainab brings heart, humility, and intention to everything she builds. It is no surprise that she was invited to be Chair for the upcoming OPEN Silicon Valley conference, “SYNERGY” on May 10th in the Silicon Valley, and with her self proclaimed “card carrying feminist” lens, shares what we can look forward to this year.

  7. S6 Ep 3 - Rana Nadya - Fitness Trainer & Entrepreneur

    S6 Ep 3 - Rana Nadya - Fitness Trainer & Entrepreneur

    Rana Nadya is a certified fitness trainer and an entrepreneur. She has been a national swimmer for Pakistan as well. Rana completed her MBA, and like everyone in their masters dreamt of an ideal corporate job as the only future. Two years into corporate life, she knew that it was not for her, and that something was always missing.  This is when Rana started doing online certification courses and training at a local gym.  In her 8 years of fitness training, she has been driven by a singular mission - to ignite a fire within other women, and to empower them to find passion and purpose in their work. Rana knew firsthand, the transformative power of earning one’s own income, and yet, it wasn’t just about financial stability. It was also about autonomy, dignity, and a sense of self-worth. Rana started her own journey from timid, corporate slave to now a confident entrepreneur. The women she trains also yearn for more - more independence, more fulfillment, more control over their own lives. Rana urges all women to take the leap, to pursue their passions, and to never settle for anything less than their dreams. And most importantly, to keep trying to find something you adore doing.  One of the ways Rana is achieving all of her desires for herself, and for others, is through a beautiful sense of community that she has helped to create.

    S6 Ep 2 - Taabir Noorani - Artist, Yogi, Humantarian

    Taabir Noorani is an artist and yogi living in Karachi, Pakistan. She owns a gym and an art business with a touch of interiors. Farah invited Taabir to be a guest on Heartistry, not just because of her artistry and other endeavors, but also because of her involvement with various other activists and humanitarian efforts. Taabir is a great example of showing up sometimes with something specific to offer (skills, etc), and at other times just "do what's needed"!
