You wake up and grab your phone. A million notifications.

This is the tension Akshaya Ravi understands deeply. In this episode, she opens up about her evolution from relentless hustle to intentional peace.

Akshaya built her identity on being the hardest worker in the room—until she realized something was missing. "I kept pushing. You got this award, it's okay. Go for the next one. I don't take a moment to appreciate it," she confesses.

We explore her journey from accounting to tech sales, her morning ritual that changed everything (simple tea on her balcony), and her perspective on professional presentation as a strategic choice rather than a limitation.

For those of us navigating careers while protecting our spirits, Akshaya offers honest reflection on what it means to want both achievement and tranquility in the same life. No perfect answers—just the possibility that maybe we don't have to choose.
