Redefining Success on Your Own Terms

What does success really mean to you? For years, I chased the version of success the world told me to want: the dream job, the travel, the titles, the approval. And for a while, I had it. I was a fashion buyer — on paper, it looked glamorous. But inside, I felt disconnected, restless, and misaligned. That experience taught me something life-changing: if you don’t define success for yourself, the world will define it for you. In this episode, I’m sharing: ✨ My personal story of “dream jo...

Boundaries Aren’t Walls — They’re Bridges to What You Value

When you hear the word boundaries, what comes up for you? For so many of us, it feels uncomfortable. Maybe even selfish. We worry that saying no will let someone down, or that we’ll be seen as “difficult.” So we say yes… and then feel resentful, drained, and stretched too thin. But here’s the truth: boundaries aren’t walls that push people away. They’re bridges. Every no rooted in your values is really a yes to the life you want to create. In this episode, I’m sharing: ✨ My personal story of ...

The Confidence Gap: How to Build Trust in Yourself (One Promise at a Time)

Ever felt like confidence is something other people have — and you don’t? Like you want to take action, but that little voice whispers: “Who am I to do this? What if I fail?

It closes because you start building trust in yourself, one tiny promise at a time. In this episode, I’m sharing: A personal story of ...

Dear Darya: When You Can’t Stick With It & You’re Tired of Starting Again

Ever feel like you just can’t seem to stick with anything? You start strong, then life gets busy, and before you know it, weeks (or months) have passed.

In this special Dear Darya edition of the podcast, I’m sharing two real questions I’ve received — the kind that so many of us could have written ourselves: “I can’t seem to stick to anything.” “I’m tired of starting over.”W...
