Facing Business Challenges Head On with Kena Paranjape

“If you're going to talk about women stepping into their purpose, you have to do it for yourself as scary as it may be.”

-Kena Paranjape
If you are facing big challenges in your business, then I’ve got someone who you need to hear from today. My guest Kena Paranjape is the founder of All You Are, an empowerment platform and community for women, who has navigated 20 years of career shifts and challenges, personal loss, and extreme personal transformation.
Kena shares deeply about her journey with self-actualization and self-trust. As a young girl, she noticed very quickly that she felt a lack in her sense of belonging, and now, she’s determined to help other women see that they are worthy of self-love and self-trust.
Kena also shares how her co-founded company BRIKA pivoted from a B2C(Business to Customer) business to B2B (Business to Business) model after enormous success with various pop up stores around the city of Toronto.
So, tune into today’s episode if you’re ready to take on all the challenges life has to give you!

In‌ ‌this‌ ‌episode,‌ ‌you’ll discover:‌ ‌

• The importance of introspection for personal and business growth
• Why a sense of belonging can have a huge impact on your business
