In this deeply personal episode, Simona sits down with Sasha Vara, luxury brand consultant, skincare founder, and new mom, for an honest conversation about the wild transition into motherhood, fertility struggles, postpartum anxiety, building a career, and redefining success.

Sasha opens up about her fertility journey, the emotional rollercoaster of early motherhood, postpartum anxiety, the pressure to "just be happy," and how having a child reshapes every part of a woman's identity. We also dive into her incredible career journey, starting from moving to London at 15, to launching her skincare brand Sasha Vara.
