Following your intuition can be challenging. It's especially tough after doing all the things you think will bring success, but still waking up feeling unfulfilled every morning. Meha Agrawal, CEO and Founder of Silk + Sonder, found herself in that exact situation.
As the first-born child of immigrant parents, Meha's path to success was paved at a young age. After being modeled a limited vision of what success could be, Meha became a computer software engineer. Realizing that perhaps that path wasn't right for her, she turned to entrepreneurship. A lack of community led Meha to establish Silk + Sonder, her beloved journaling subscription service. Though Meha had her fears about becoming an entrepreneur, she recalls her customers and her bigger why, knowing her product helps millions at a time.
