palak: the person

I'm an entrepreneur and a public health leader. My ideal day involves meditation, coffee, momos, and meaningful work, mostly in that order. My home smells like lavender and new books. I listen to music all day long. Family time is non-negotiable. So is dancing. And friends. I want to combat preventable anemia and write books about women's wellbeing. Financial freedom means doing what I want, when I want, while being kind. Revolutionary legacy in women’s health is the goal. Laughing often is the method. I'm working on accepting impermanence and suffering as a fixed cost in life and learning that the best life is self-determined, weirdly specific, and filled with both intellectual curiosity and simple pleasures like a warm bath before bed. I overthink less than I used to.
