How many times have you told yourself, “I’ll take that trip… I’ll write that book… I’ll do that thing… someday”? We all assume there’s more time. But what if there’s not?
My guest today, Nesha Pai, knows this truth in her bones. After the sudden loss of her younger sister and her own breast cancer diagnosis, Nesha’s perspective on life shifted in a big way. She’s not waiting for the “right time” anymore. She's living fully, boldly, and right now. And she wants the same for you.
Nesha is the founder of Pai CPA, a speaker, an author, and a woman who has built a beautiful, adventurous life on her own terms. From solo trips to Paris to growing a thriving business, she’s proof that you don’t need permission, or a partner, to live the life you dream of. Warning: Her story is going to light a fire in you to stop putting things off and start moving toward the life you really want.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:
There’s never a perfect time. Waiting until you have more money, more confidence, or the “right” circumstances is just a story we tell ourselves. Start now… even if it’s a small step.
Tomorrow isn’t promised. Let that reality give you urgency, not fear.
Feel the fear and do it anyway. Fear means you’re growing. On the other side of that discomfort is joy, freedom, and a stronger you.
Your dreams are worth it. Whether it’s a Paris sabbatical or writing your book, make a plan, save toward it, and take action. Investing in yourself is never wasted.
