Compassionate Self-Work, Bold Vulnerabilities, & Imaginary Friends With Julie Nguyen and Krati Mehra

I am joined by Julie Nguyen for a candid, open conversation about how the new normal has impacted and continues to impact our lives, our goals for the coming year, how we manage the self-doubt and the insecurities that get in the way, how to cope when you don’t have the support of your loved ones in your journey, doing compassionate self-work, and so much more!

Once every month, I will be inviting Julie onto the show as co-host and we will hold similar unscripted conversation with no set agenda except to check in and talk about some of our common struggles in contemporary life, whether it's dating, dealing with anxiety, or struggling with starting a business. In between that, we'll also be taking questions from the audience and conducting mini-coaching sessions that will allow us to connect with you and provide you with solutions to what you might be struggling with in real-time. Send in your questions, concerns to hello@kratimehra.com or askjulienguyen@gmail.com
