Real stories of turning life’s toughest lemons into something good. Each week, host Riannon Palmer chats with founders and changemakers about resilience, purpose, and building impact from adversity.
In this episode, we speak with Soni Panda, founder of By Soni Panda x, an inclusive hosiery brand. We explore what really happens when the plan falls apart, and how the unexpected detour can lead to something far better. From the heartbreak of a dream that didn’t launch to the joy of building a purpose-led fashion brand from the ground up, this conversation is all about resilience, reinvention and rediscovering your confidence.
We dive into:
• The moment everything didn’t go to plan, and why that became the turning point
• How imposter syndrome can knock you flat… and still become fuel for growth
• Why purpose matters more than perfection when building a brand
• The power of dopamine dressing and showing up for yourself
• Creating a space where everyone feels confident, comfortable and seen
If you’ve ever doubted yourself, pivoted unexpectedly or questioned your place in the room, this episode will remind you that the most meaningful journeys often begin when Plan A falls apart.
