What happens when the woman who holds everything together finally admits she's running on empty? In this raw conversation, Disha reveals the hidden cost of being the "responsible one" and why so many ambitious women think there's something wrong with them for wanting more.
Rather than focusing on productivity hacks or time management tips, this conversation goes deeper into a question many high-achieving women wrestle with: How do you build something extraordinary without losing yourself in the process? Disha shares her journey from immigrant daughter to strategic genius, and why she believes the biggest tragedy isn't women dreaming too big, but it's not thinking big enough.
If you've ever felt like you're carrying an invisible load that no one else can see, this episode will help you understand that your capacity isn't average, your ambition isn't a character flaw, and exhaustion isn't a personal failure.
