From coming out and chasing dreams to navigating rejection and radical self-trust—Maya Nalli shares what it really takes to bet on yourself in life, love, and the spotlight.
In this juicy, laugh-out-loud, and deeply real episode, Priya sits down with her younger sister Maya Nalli—an actress living in L.A., a branding queen, and unapologetically herself.
From childhood to career pivots, coming out to getting married, they cover it all. Maya opens up about what it’s really like to pursue acting in a world of constant rejection, how she uses her advertising degree to brand herself like a boss, and what falling in love with a woman taught her about identity, softness, and self-worth.
Whether you’re chasing a dream or just trying to remember who you are beneath the noise—this episode will make you laugh, cry, and feel deeply seen.
