How to Build Yourself When You've Been a Version for Everyone Else | Saina Babaee
What if your life looks good from the outside but still doesn't feel fully yours? This episode is for anyone who has achieved everything they were supposed to achieve and found themselves quietly asking: why do I still feel like something is missing?
Erika sits down with Saina Babaee, VP at Siemens, founder of her own fashion label, and mother of twins. Someone who followed the prescribed path with excellence and then had to find herself inside it. This is not a story about burning everything down. It is about what it actually looks like to stop living for everyone else and start building a life that is authentically yours.
If you have ever caught yourself thinking:
"I'm successful but I feel empty and I don't know why."
"I want to start my passion but I don't know where to begin."
"I have a good life. So why does something still feel off?"
"I keep waiting for the right time to build something on the side."
"I'm scared that wanting more makes me ungrateful for what I have."
Then this is the episode is for you.
In this conversation, Erika and Saina cover:
*Why feeling empty despite your success is not a failing but a signal worth listening to
*How to identify what you have been carrying since childhood that was never yours to carry
