Hi friends — it’s Pooja, your 👠heels-on-the-ground👠, and I’m so excited to invite you to a powerful upcoming conversation.

In this episode, I’m sitting down with two people who’ve shaped my journey more than they know: my mentors, collaborators, and dear friends, Vic Nichols and Andrea Lokshin.

Together, we’re diving into what the mindset of a successful leader really looks like — not just in business, but in life.

We talk about the power of being present, the importance of delegation and trust, and why kindness might just be your strongest leadership tool.

You’ll hear us reflect on what’s helped us grow, the lessons we’ve learned from people who tried to hold us back, and how we’ve built environments where every voice matters.

This conversation is honest, energizing, and full of stories we’ve never shared before.

If you’re building a team, growing your business, or stepping into leadership in your own way — this one’s for you.

Hi Friends, it’s Pooja Desai👠—your Heels on the Ground.

In this special episode, I’m joined by two of the most important men in my life: my husband and co-host Vivek Desai🥾, and my dear friend of over 40 years, Julio Monroy🥾.

We’re talking about something that doesn’t get talked about enough: men’s mental wellness.

Julio and I grew up together, literally across the street. We’ve seen each other through childhood, careers, heartbreaks, and victories. Now, as a professor and executive, he opens up about what mental wellness means to him as a man—especially in a world that hasn’t always made space for vulnerability.

We get real about what it means to show up emotionally—for yourself, your family, your team—and why mentorship, community, and honest conversations are everything.

If you’re raising sons, love someone who’s struggling, or are a man learning to prioritize your own wellness, I hope you’ll join us. This episode is full of heart, reflection, and a reminder that no one should carry it all alone.

Listen now and share it with the men you love.

👠Your Heels On The Ground!👠

In this powerful episode of 👠Heels & Boots🥾on the Ground! I’m joined by my longtime friend and fellow entrepreneur Beena Nair for a real conversation about Women’s Mental Wellness — what it looks like, what it takes, and why we need to talk about it more often.

We dive into:

• Why saying “no” isn’t selfish — it’s necessary

• How to set boundaries at work and at home

• Why it’s okay to ask for help (and delegate without guilt)

• How dancing, doodling, and deep breathing are more than just hobbies — they’re healing

• What wellness looks like as a mom, a grandmother, a leader, and a woman who’s still evolving

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or like you’re giving from an empty cup — this episode is for you. Because caring for yourself isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation for everything else you do.

🎧 Tune in and walk away with practical tools, honest insights, and a whole lot of love.
Your peace matters. Your joy matters. You matter.

👠Your Heels On The Ground!👠

This episode is close to my heart. I’m joined by the incredible women who’ve walked beside me through every season of life — My Village, My Crew! From childhood friends to soul sisters I met later in life, these women have been my support system, my mirror, my late-night calls, and my loudest cheerleaders.

We’re talking real talk — about how to say no without guilt, how to choose yourself without apology, how to show up for others when life gets hard, and why friendship isn’t just a comfort... it’s a lifeline.

You’ll hear from:

• Tanishia, my best friend since I was five (yes, we met over a grape!)
• Beena, my co-parenting partner during one of the hardest times in my life
• Natalie, my vibrant, dog-loving, entrepreneur bestie
• Dayana, my sister-in-law who became family in every way that matters

This episode is for every woman who’s ever felt like she had to do it all alone — and for every one of us who learned that we don’t have to.

🎧 Tune in, feel seen, and maybe even text your best friend when you’re done.

Your crew matters more than you know.

With love,

Pooja

In our premiere episode, host Pooja Desai (Heels on the Ground) is joined by her husband and co-host Vivek Desai (Boots on the Ground) for an honest, funny, and deeply relatable conversation on what work-life balance truly means in a modern partnership.

Together, they explore how balancing demanding careers, parenting, marriage, and personal goals isn’t about perfection — it’s about presence, communication, and flexibility.

You’ll hear:

• What “balance” actually looks like in real life (with planes to catch and soccer games to attend)

• How mindset and support from your village can shift everything

• What Pooja taught Vivek about expressing feelings (and what he taught her about staying present)

• Why being engaged at home is just as critical as being engaged at work

• The key to enjoying the chaos and still growing together

Whether you're navigating marriage, parenting, leadership, or entrepreneurship — this episode will remind you that you can have it all… but only if you define “all” your way.

🎧 Tune in, laugh with us, and maybe walk away with a few powerful takeaways to bring back to your own home, team, or relationship.
