From housewife to the co-founder of a billion-dollar company, I know intimately what it means to face fear, self-doubt, and that nagging voice inside that says you’re not enough. That’s why I’m thrilled to share my conversation with Radhi Devlukia-Shetty on this episode of Women of Impact. With her blend of heart, honesty, and hard-won wisdom, Radhi opens up about her journey—growing up heavyset, navigating body image in a world obsessed with “skinny,” and breaking free from external validation through meditation, journaling, and radical self-discovery. She reveals how leaving home and starting over in a new country forced her to face her fears head-on, and how she built a relationship with herself step-by-step. From conscious cooking to confronting the discomfort of leading in business, Radhi’s story is a roadmap for any woman wants to find her strength—not in spite of her vulnerabilities, but because of them.
