Ever wondered what it really takes to leave behind a prestigious, stable career and make the leap into something completely different?
In this week’s episode of The Freedom Pivot, I’m joined by Sarika, a former United Nations official who transitioned from working on gender equality and urban policy across Asia and Africa to building a multipassionate business rooted in her Japanese heritage and passions.
Sarika’s journey is anything but conventional:
- How she left a “dream job” at the UN to follow her intuition.
- Why she chose not to niche down, and built her own unique path instead.
- How she became known as the Japanese Sake Fairy Godmother 🌸.
- The story behind her award-winning Sake Beauty Balm, which won the 2024 European Natural Beauty Awards.
- How she blends sake education, skincare, and face yoga into a one-of-a-kind business.
- Her lessons on making the leap and navigating identity shifts as a multipassionate entrepreneur.
This conversation will inspire you to see that you don’t have to fit into one box to build a meaningful, impactful business. Sometimes the most powerful moves come from following your curiosity.
