What does it really take to chase your dreams and raise a family?
In this episode, Zahra Jani sits down with Shamoly Khera—author, speaker, and mom—to talk about the juggle of modern motherhood and ambition.
They dive into Shamoly’s powerful book "Letters to Daughters of Tomorrow", born from a thought-provoking insight: more girls are getting educated, but why aren’t more of them joining the workforce?
From breaking stereotypes to embracing financial independence, Shamoly gets real about navigating family, career, and self-worth—all at once. She shares practical tips, personal stories, and her take on why motherhood and ambition can go hand in hand.
Stick around till the end for a fun rapid-fire round and some no-filter advice every woman (and parent!) needs to hear.
