Fan Favorite: This episode originally aired on: February 16, 2022. What up, homies! It's your girl Lisa Bilyeu, and welcome back to the Women of Impact podcast, where we dig deep, break down barriers, and build the life of our dreams! Today, I'm bringing you a mega-inspiring convo with a true force of nature, Payal Kadakia!

Guys, if you've ever felt tethered by expectations or like the world is pulling you away from your true passion—listen up. Payal Kadakia, the brains and the beating heart behind ClassPass, is here to drop some serious wisdom. She's navigated the complexities of cultural identity and societal pressures to create a billion-dollar company—all while staying true to her love for dance! It’s all about finding your freedom train and getting the hell off the one that doesn’t serve you.

We're diving into the expectations train, exploring how Payal hit the brakes on what she 'should' do and started carving her own unique path. Trust me; this episode is all about unlocking your identity, embracing your true calling, and being bold enough to pursue it.
