Candid Rooms 01: Plot Twist hosted by Sofia Panwar
Closed the business? Left the job? Rewriting the plan?
Rebuilding is lonely. It doesn’t have to be.
Candid Rooms brings together a room of 16 people in the same chapter, with a host who’s been there, for honest conversation about the bits nobody talks about. Phones away, glass in hand 🥂
Meet your host: Sofia Panwar 🎤
Sofia Panwar is a founder, creator and Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree. After building and closing a seven-figure business, she’s now sharing the reality of starting again with a community of nearly 300,000 across social media. Through honest conversations about ambition, identity and the messy middle of rebuilding, she’s helping other women feel less alone as they navigate their next chapter.
What you’ll walk away with:
