On today’s episode, I’m talking to my friend Palak Dave of Embiria and Hosted Here about her mission to live beautifully in the present moment, and to inspire others to do the same. Through her experiences, events, and thoughtfully curated spaces, she uses the five senses to invite us to slow down and find deeper presence in our everyday lives. 🙏🏼
In our conversation we talk about Palak’s major business shift from going it solo to joining a team, and how that’s supported her to step more fully into what she does best. We also discuss our complicated relationships with technology and social media, and how Palak tries to limit the reach of these apps so that she can connect more deeply to others and stay present in her real world experiences. 🌿
