If you've ever faced rejection in your life [which is almost inevitable] you know that it can become debilitating and all consuming - throwing us into feelings on unworthiness, self doubt and we often question who we are - our identity!
Lalitha is no different.
But what is inspiring about Lalitha; is her transformative approach to facing rejection and learning to reclaim her power in the midst of challenges.
Lalitha has a vulnerable conversation with us today about:
- Her experience with rejection
- The turning point for her
- How she used rejection as a transformational tool
- Real life challenges as a woman of colour
- Hurdles she has had to overcome in her personal life
- How these hurdles have served as stones in a path towards discovering her purpose
- Why she is so invested in embracing culture as an entrepreneur and supporting women to do the same
Listen in and send us a DM - did you have any lightbulb moments? Do you have thoughts to share about being a woman of colour in the entrepreneurial space?
We'd love to hear from you! Enjoy the episode!

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.
