That’s why we’re so excited to partner with Fresh Starts Registry, the first and only gift registry built for all of life’s new chapters.We’re talking the big ones and the ones you never saw coming — moving cross-country for a dream job, starting over after a breakup, launching that business you’ve been sketching in the margins for years, or finally deciding you deserve the cozy couch and the wine glasses that actually match.Fresh Starts is more than just a shopping list. It’s a movement — a way to say:“This is my fresh chapter, and I’m allowed to be celebrated for it.”Because celebrations aren’t just for weddings and baby showers. They’re for the moments when you choose yourself, rebuild from the ground up, or step into something completely new.Support the showThank you for joining WINK - You're worth knowing!

Transcribe →WINK x Anjali Mehta
Jun 2000:29:53Tap to summarizeSend a textFrom Survivors to Summits: Anjali Mehta’s Journey with WINK When we sit down with Anjali Mehta, the energy is immediate and electrifying. A seasoned human rights and humanitarian law lawyer, Anjali has turned her career—and her life—toward a higher purpose. In our recent WINK episode, she journeyed through her “survivors to summits” saga, unveiled The Power of We and shared the bold leap she made leaving Big Law to devote herself fully to nonprofit work. Here’s how her story unfolded.Anjali is on a mission to conquer the Seven Summits—the highest peak on each continent—not just for the thrill, but to raise awareness and funds for survivors of gender-based violence. For her, each summit is a metaphorical and literal pinnacle of survival, perseverance, and transformation. As she explains, “transformation happens together,” highlighting a deeply held belief in collective action . At the center of her work is What is the Power of We?, the nonprofit she co-founded. It's not just an organization; it's a movement. Woven into her legal advocacy and athletic pursuits is a simple truth: community is essential to real change. Whether climbing mountains or advocating for legal reform, Anjali believes in the amplifying voice of solidarity, a sentiment she passionately shared in our conversation.Anjali trained at NYU for humanitarian law and navigated a promising path in Big Law. But at a critical moment, she traded the prestige of private practice for purpose: dedicating herself to gender-based violence, asylum, human rights, and systemic change. Today she stands not in a boardroom, but in frontline advocacy—before international courts, in grassroots communities, and atop remote peaks Her reach extends far beyond legal briefs. Anjali is a TEDx speaker, Fulbright scholar, professional artist and dancer, and a mountaineer. This interdisciplinary identity allows her to craft compelling stories and unique programs like somatic movement workshops—blending law, art, and embodiment—that she’s led at institutions like NYU and Yale.Support the showThank you for joining WINK - You're worth knowing!

WINK x Julia Dzafic
Apr 17, 202500:38:32Tap to summarizeSend a textAt WINK, we’re all about women who do it differently—and authentically. That’s why we’re so excited to shine a light on Julia Dzafic, author of the cookbook Garden Grown, founder and CEO of Lemon Stripes, and mom of two. She’s built a brand, a family, and a garden that feeds more than just stomachs—it feeds a community of women hungry for honesty, connection, and real-life inspiration.Julia isn’t your average influencer. She doesn’t pretend it’s easy. She shows up—in the mess, the beauty, and everything in between. Whether she’s sharing a plant-based recipe from her vibrant backyard or opening up about postpartum depression, antidepressants, infertility, or the unglamorous parts of motherhood, Julia reminds us that strength comes in softness. And truth? It’s powerful.She doesn’t shy away from the real talk. She’s the first to acknowledge that “Live, Laugh, Lexapro” is more than a meme (or a sweatshirt) —it’s a mantra. Julia’s openness about mental health, therapy, and finding the tools that work for her is exactly the kind of conversation we’re here for. Because being a woman, a mother, a business owner—it’s a lot. And pretending otherwise helps no one.She grew the tomatoes, wrote the recipes, and—get this—she did the entire photo shoot in her actual kitchen. No big production, no studio lighting tricks. Just her real life, real countertops, and props that you just know came from those treasure-hunt spots we all love (looking at you, HomeGoods). It’s the kind of detail that makes you feel like you’re flipping through your best friend’s cookbook, not some polished, unattainable lifestyle guide.Her book, Garden Grown, is a love letter to food, family, and finding joy in the everyday. It’s not just about what’s on your plate—it’s about what you’re growing inside and around you. It’s as much a cookbook as it is a celebration of nourishment in all forms. And if you’ve ever felt like you’re juggling too many roles—CEO, mom, partner, friend—Julia is proof that you can embrace all of them, imperfectly and beautifully.To the women who are building something—be it a business, a family, a garden, or all three—we see you. And Julia? She’s one we all need to know.Keep growing, keep going, and don’t forget: authenticity is your superpower.Support the showThank you for joining WINK - You're worth knowing!
