I've learned a lot from the interview. Thank you very much! 0:23: 🎙 Discussion with Nimi Mehta, CEO of Speaker by Nimi Mehta, covering her diverse expertise and excitement for a synergistic conversation. 4:56: 💡 Importance of continuous growth and reframing goals as markers of progress in life. 9:26: ⚙ Embrace every experience as a stepping stone towards your destined path, even if it seems insignificant at the time. 14:11: 💪 Choosing between fear of staying stagnant and fear of taking a leap can lead to growth and fulfillment. 18:57: 🔍 Understanding body language cues in response to stress or new encounters is crucial for self-awareness and control. 23:38: 🗣 The impact of external influences on diluting one's voice and identity. 28:25: 🗣 Understanding the evolving nature of one's voice, the impact of external influences, and the importance of critically analyzing one's surroundings. 32:58: 🔑 Understanding family dynamics impact personal growth and self-awareness. 37:51: 💬 Importance of balancing kindness and assertiveness in communication for women in professional settings. 42:25: 💬 Importance of pausing and reflecting before responding in conversations. 46:54: 💬 Confidence is not about being the loudest in the room; it's about finding your voice and being authentic.

[@thebalancetheorypodcast]

You’re welcome!!

[@shrutiagokhale258]

I liked it! they said that "don't try to be nice with everyone". Sometime you have to be straight forward and let other know that what you are expecting for them. Though i have experienced disappointed bcause, of my more then needed kind behaviour towards other.😢 Sometime we have to be mean to be happy.

[@thebalancetheorypodcast]

I loved learning that you can be "assertive" but not mean :)

[@fardowsaomar1928]

It's not necessary to be mean. It's better to be straight forward as you mention.

[@sommediaco]

Thank you so much for putting this out! My favourite from the episode has to be "you can be kind and still be clear and concise with what is it you want"

[@thebalancetheorypodcast]

You're so welcome! Yes I love that advice to - the scale isn't "mean" or "nice" ! 🥰

[@SylviaiTrev]

Great video. Really needed to hear this today. Keep up the great work Erika! ❤

[@thebalancetheorypodcast]

I'm glad you enjoyed it Silvia! Thank you

[@maria.j.barajasrizo94]

[@ViktoriiaMudragel-jf8ic]

really love this podcast, absolutely inspiring, thank you for this amazing content, much needed to hear today

[@thebalancetheorypodcast]

Thank you for listening and I'm glad you found this video helpful, I really enjoyed hosting it 🤍

[@stayboredomfree6841]

Deep diving discourse on self awareness. No one talks about inner voice , considering my voice as an external being was really an eye opening bump. If I talk about myself I always struggle to set right attitude between assertive, being nice and people pleasure. It was really different level of talk.

[@thebalancetheorypodcast]

thank you for sharing your thoughts 💕 it's such an important thing to reflect on :)

[@ayazmubaraka2316]

Whatever she said it was so powerful to empower yourself and get most out of your time and capabilities.

[@thebalancetheorypodcast]

💕

[@kadijhastrong8787]

Appreciate this so much i was vey much like nemmy i was mute as a child i didnt speek really and even when i did speak people voices wil always over power my own voice , when she said you constantly have to find your voice she wasnt lying, this have the most humblest and insightful video i have ever watched thank you ,

[@thebalancetheorypodcast]

You're so welcome! I'm glad it resonated. I too really loved how she shared how our voice gets diluted, and so as adults, empowers us how to find it again xx

I am in the midst of a leap in leaving my job because every fiber of my strength has been longing for my craft and artistry and to pursue that dream inside. This validated so many thoughts and feelings that I’ve been having and this shed truth to my fears. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@thebalancetheorypodcast]

Right, I loved chatting to Nimi! Glad you enjoyed it too

[@thebalancetheorypodcast]
