Hello everyone, this episode translates into entering new territories quite literally. I am joined by an expert from a completely different field for me and mostly you as well - Say hello to renowned makeup artist and hairstylist Sandhya Shekar! If you're looking at how to go about discovering yourself then here's the start!
As a “village girl seeking out new adventures”, her journey started from Kalyanpur, Udupi and has soared to reach the Met Gala and more. With a classic middle-class, small-town upbringing and an MBA, she worked in the financial world before starting off professionally on her own in makeup in Mumbai. She discovered and fleshed out her innate interest in makeup as a viable career. She talks about her (ongoing) self-discovery process which kicked in right from the initial years of taking the plunge based on what’s good for her.
We delve into discussions about the ever-changing relationship with money and the core values that let her tune into the inner voice and figure her way through career and her own well-being. While reiterating self-discovery and intent as a gradual process, she highlights the importance of being responsible for choices and decisions, understanding the importance of mental health and internalising balance and clarity while learning life lessons through failure.
The fearless Sandhya brings self-value, time, energy and reaffirmations into the focus through her experiences of dealing with depression, issues with family acceptance and ups and downs in scaling up a business. Passion and purpose aligned, this honest conversation revealed facets of work and life beyond the boundaries that are set on the daily - Tune in for takeaways irrespective of the career stage you are in right now!
