    You Will Receive What You Believe

    In this episode, I talk about the importance of believing in ourselves and turning our unhealthy ego into strong self esteem. Our egos are wrapped up in the thoughts and opinions of others and we let that hold us back from actually doing the things we want to do and becoming the people we want to be. Once you learn how to block out all that noise and listen to the voice inside your head, find those seeds of ideas that have gotten buried again and again because of self doubt and fear, you'll discover this amazing magical energy that will make you feel like you can do anything!

    Farah Jesani | Becoming Your Own Boss and Infusing Identity & Culture into Your Craft

    In Priya's second interview, she decided to bring on one of her closest and dearest friends, Farah Jesani. She is the co-founder and CEO of her very own South Asian beverage company called One Stripe Chai. She started it back in 2015 when she noticed early on that a lot of places didn't really have a variety of chai options and if they did, they were either too sweet or too bland, so she decided to reclaim our Indian culture and spices that we grew up with, and create her very own chai products. Now, One Stripe Chai is in over 150 stores across the country! Farah's entrepreneurial journey and experiences have already enthused so many of their family and friends to pursue their own passions and will definitely motivate and encourage you to take the leap and bet on yourself. Not only does she talk about her business, but her inspiring love story dealing with the challenges of Hindu Muslim relationships and what it took for her and her husband to be together.

In this episode, they talk about how Making Moves taps in to the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual layers of individuals and how it all stemmed from Niraj's passions he constantly aims to infuse in his profession.

    Your passion is waiting for your courage to catch up

    You've probably heard the word passion thrown at you so many times, "find your passion", "follow your passion", and you may be wondering, well where do I even start? In this episode, Priya talks about how in just one year, she discovered her passion for improv and stand up comedy, took classes, got to perform in different shows, and learned and discovered so much about herself and her capabilities. Was she good at everything she tried? Of course not, but it's important to learn how to pivot and accept failure. Failure is part of the process but not the end of the process. It teaches us a lot more than success ever will and it's important to learn how to deal with it.  Follow me on social media: @pripri1021 @inspriyation_
