In this heart-centered and hilarious episode of Embodiment - who you are behind closed doors, Mano Tsiris and Ashley Fry sit down with their bestie and powerhouse product leader, Saina Sefidbakht.
Saina opens up about her journey immigrating from Iran to Canada at just nine years old, skipping grades, and carving her own path from science major to Head of Product at OneCliq. She talks about pivoting from a potential career in dentistry (hello, family pressure!) to becoming an elite employee, AI innovator, and a leader shaping the future of tech.
But that’s not all—Saina shares the behind-the-scenes of balancing entrepreneurship with planning her destination wedding (yes, she’s marrying her co-founder fiancé, no big deal), her research obsession (spoiler: she will fix your skincare routine), and how she navigates working with her partner while maintaining boundaries.
This episode is raw, funny, and filled with big-sister energy, practical advice for couples working together, and real talk on immigrant family dynamics, burnout, and people-pleasing.
Plus, the girls spill on skincare hacks, TikTok trends, and what songs definitely didn’t make Saina’s wedding playlist (sorry, Drake). If you’ve ever wondered how to embody authenticity while building something bigger than yourself, this one's for you.

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
