Description
Episode 226: From growing up in Singapore to living the American dream, this week Natalie is joined by Denise Lee, the dynamic force behind the thriving active wear brand we know and love: Alala. She opens up about her traditional upbringing and the influence her parents had on her natural transition into the world of fashion and entrepreneurship. Denise then expresses her true thoughts on business school and if it’s really worth it, why you shouldn’t quit your job right away when you start your own company, and why she regrets not putting more effort into marketing Alala sooner. Her story touches on the oh-so-relatable experience of imposter syndrome, struggling with body image, and why we need to stop tying our identity to our work. This episode offers a candid glimpse into the complexities of entrepreneurship and self-discovery and will hopefully leave you feeling that much more inspired. Enjoy!

Ep 3. All About Grad School: Differences Between Undergrad and Grad School, What it is Really Like, and about Occupational Therapy: There are so many different paths to choose from once you graduate college. Do I move to a new city? Do I move back home to save money? Should I enter the workforce? Should I go to grad school? It can be daunting. In today’s episode, I bring on someone very close to me- my cousin! She has been in a few videos of mine and is always open to giving advice and sharing her story so I thought she would be the perfect guest to have on the podcast.She is a 23 year old grad student at the University of Florida. She is studying to become an Occupational Therapist and is already almost done with her masters degree! In this episode we talk about why grad school was the right path for her, how she really feels about it now that she is almost done, and debunk and proving true some common myths about it.
