Thanks so much for tuning into Season 2 of the Brown Girl Works Podcast! I'm really excited to share what's in store for this season and get into what I've been up to since the first season wrapped up earlier this year. Season 2 of the BGW Podcast will feature interviews with women that have personally inspired me as a working professional. During my podcasting "break", I got the opportunity to record with a number of successful and supportive South Asian career professionals and entrepreneurs who are working in a variety of fields. From working the corporate grind of a 9-5 to starting their own business, I got to hear from new perspectives on topics on new to the show. We'll chat about everything from launching a successful Kickstarter for your startup to launching a profitable YouTube channel. I'm so pumped share the stories of these inspirational women! During this break, I focused a lot of ME. Needless to say, Season 1 left me a little burned out. I felt a lot of pressure to always "be on" especially on social media. Being a content creator is NO JOKE. And I have enormous admiration who do this for a living. To constantly be creating content that resonates on a daily basis is so hard. Even thought I only release new episodes every other week, the pressure was definitely on. After finding myself expecting with my second child, I knew I needed to slow down and physically, I kind of didn't have a choice. Season 1 concluded right around the time my pregnancy nausea and exhaustion hit. So the timing of my break couldn't have been perfect. I worked on recording and editing episodes slowly but surely. And I'm finally getting to release them today! First up on the show is the founder of Lark Adventurewear, Pallavi Golla. She's built a high-quality children's activewear company from the ground up. And not to mention, while juggling two small kids. It's women like her that motivate me to not quit my job so I was so happy to hear her share the story of her business and her advice for launching a Kickstarter. I hope you enjoy the episode so please go check it out now! I have a post going up on Instagram, so leave me a comment and let me know what you thought of it! xo, Sam
