Episode 5: Mindset Of A Successful Leader!
Hi friends — it’s Pooja, your 👠heels-on-the-ground👠, and I’m so excited to invite you to a powerful upcoming conversation.
In this episode, I’m sitting down with two people who’ve shaped my journey more than they know: my mentors, collaborators, and dear friends, Vic Nichols and Andrea Lokshin.
Together, we’re diving into what the mindset of a successful leader really looks like — not just in business, but in life.
We talk about the power of being present, the importance of delegation and trust, and why kindness might just be your strongest leadership tool.
You’ll hear us reflect on what’s helped us grow, the lessons we’ve learned from people who tried to hold us back, and how we’ve built environments where every voice matters.
This conversation is honest, energizing, and full of stories we’ve never shared before.
If you’re building a team, growing your business, or stepping into leadership in your own way — this one’s for you.

My Village, My Crew — Thank You for Fixing My Crown!
This episode is close to my heart. I’m joined by the incredible women who’ve walked beside me through every season of life — My Village, My Crew! From childhood friends to soul sisters I met later in life, these women have been my support system, my mirror, my late-night calls, and my loudest cheerleaders.
We’re talking real talk — about how to say no without guilt, how to choose yourself without apology, how to show up for others when life gets hard, and why friendship isn’t just a comfort... it’s a lifeline.
You’ll hear from:
Tanishia, my best friend since I was five (yes, we met over a grape!)
Beena, my co-parenting partner during one of the hardest times in my life
Natalie, my vibrant, dog-loving, entrepreneur bestie
Dayana, my sister-in-law who became family in every way that matters
This episode is for every woman who’s ever felt like she had to do it all alone — and for every one of us who learned that we don’t have to.
🎧 Tune in, feel seen, and maybe even text your best friend when you’re done.
Your crew matters more than you know.
With love,
Pooja

Episode 1: What Work-Life-Balance Really Looks Like
In our premiere episode, host Pooja Desai (Heels on the Ground) is joined by her husband and co-host Vivek Desai (Boots on the Ground) for an honest, funny, and deeply relatable conversation on what work-life balance truly means in a modern partnership.
Together, they explore how balancing demanding careers, parenting, marriage, and personal goals isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence, communication, and flexibility.
You’ll hear:
What “balance” actually looks like in real life (with planes to catch and soccer games to attend)
How mindset and support from your village can shift everything
What Pooja taught Vivek about expressing feelings (and what he taught her about staying present)
Why being engaged at home is just as critical as being engaged at work
The key to enjoying the chaos and still growing together
Whether you're navigating marriage, parenting, leadership, or entrepreneurship — this episode will remind you that you can have it all… but only if you define “all” your way.
🎧 Tune in, laugh with us, and maybe walk away with a few powerful takeaways to bring back to your own home, team, or relationship.
