SELLEST OSAST
EP 48. What does it actually look like to build a multi-six-figure business, survive visa challenges as an immigrant founder, shut down a venture-backed startup — and come out the other side more aligned than ever? In this episode of Well Done, I am joined by Arjita Sethi, founder of New Founder School and Ayurvedic AI wellness platform Shaanti, to explore what happens when you stop chasing the hustle and start listening to your body. Arjita shares how she was doing wellness "right" but still burnt out; this led her to exploring a 5,000-year-old system that completely rewired how she approaches wellness, business, and motherhood.
In this episode:
- The surprising reason your wellness routine might actually be causing more stress, not less
- The 3 types of people who struggle most in entrepreneurship
- What Ayurveda reveals about your unique body type and how it changes everything from your workout to your peak productivity window
- The concept of "Life Synced Success" and how it helped Arjita double her revenue by doing less
- The one thing most ambitious women get wrong about work-life balance
- What your body is trying to tell you when it stops giving you clear signals
- Why reading fiction, not business books, could give you an edge
- How Shaanti, Arjita's AI wellness platform, uses Ayurveda to help people make more personalized wellness decisions

wellness was making me burnt out because it felt like a task list.
00:00:03.358 --> 00:00:04.318
Did you meditate today?
00:00:04.318 --> 00:00:05.488
Did you do this today?
00:00:05.488 --> 00:00:06.599
Did you wake up at five?
00:00:06.599 --> 00:00:08.618
Did you go ahead, take a cold plunge?
00:00:08.689 --> 00:00:09.563
This is well done.
