INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Raised with the pressure to pursue a conventional career, Meetra trusted her intuition and chose a creative path — one shaped by risk and grounded in vulnerability. Today she has built a thriving career in New York, producing global campaigns, directing films, and self-publishing Standard Deviation, a deeply personal collection of her own poetry and essays that caught the attention of Vogue and New York galleries.
In this episode, Meetra opens up about:
- Walking away from family and cultural expectations to build a creative life on her own terms
- How her parents’ immigrant story shaped her relationship with failure and risk
- Finding the courage to publish vulnerable work in an industry obsessed with polish and perception
- The power of community, and why she sees it as fundamental to creativity
- Creative burnout, and the double-edged sword of sharing it all on Instagram
- Why integrity, not external validation, is her true measure of success
- The cultural contrasts between America, Australia, and South Asia when it comes to failure and resilience
An honest and inspiring conversation about pressure, risk, and what happens when you stop living by other people’s definitions of success and start defining your own.
