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.
