Summary
She was an Ivy League lawyer with the perfect résumé. Then she became a convicted felon — and says losing her freedom is what finally set her free. Rashmi Airan built a career as an attorney, entrepreneur, and Wall Street banker — until one bad decision, made under pressure to succeed, led to an FBI investigation and a year in federal prison. In this episode, she opens up about the moment everything fell apart, what she calls the "invisible prisons" we build for ourselves long before any real consequence hits, and how owning her worst mistake completely became the foundation for real transformation. If you've ever felt like your biggest failure defines you, this conversation will change how you see it.
