  • How Living with Type 1 Diabetes Changed the Definition of Health

    How Living with Type 1 Diabetes Changed the Definition of Health
    2025/05/04
    My guest today is a long-time friend of mine, Lexi Ascher! We grew up dancing together since we were eight, and this woman is an absolute inspiration. Lexi is a passionate advocate for health and wellness whose personal journey with type 1 diabetes has profoundly shaped her path. Raised in Orange County, she spent her childhood and teen years as a competitive dancer, instilling a deep appreciation for discipline, resilience, and physical well-being. Being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 16 marked a pivotal turning point—deepening her empathy and understanding of chronic illness, and ultimately inspiring her to pursue a career in healthcare. Lexi is preparing to begin a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner program this fall, with the goal of supporting and empowering children facing the same challenges she has experienced firsthand.

  • Fitness & Bodybuilding as a Young 20s Working Woman

    Fitness & Bodybuilding as a Young 20s Working Woman
    2024/10/21
    Welcome back for episode 23! I've been following my guest, Neha, for about two years now on Instagram, watching her bodybuilding journey while she balances her corporate job. As another young Indian woman, it's been so inspiring to see her pursue her passion for fitness in the media space, where it is so rare to see young Indian girls. Neha created her account because, growing up, she never saw girls who looked like her in media, and she wanted to become a representation that she lacked. As a bodybuilder, model, and speaker while working a full-time corporate job, Neha proves it is possible to pursue dreams and goals that are unconventional and that you are not defined by one experience or role.
