Moj Mahdara on Coming Out at 30, Shame and Identity, and Healing From Childhood Trauma

This week’s episode is one about growth and giving yourself the grace to evolve. Jade sits down with Moj Mahadra, a founder and investor who is the CEO of Beautycon. Moj talks about the feeling of being told you don't "fit", mistaking ambition for self-abuse, coming out to her parents at 30, and why it took a baby for them to truly reconcile. On top of all of this, she talks about how her life was turned upside-down by COVID-19, which inspired her to start therapy and work through past traumas to achieve self-acceptance. 

Moj has been named to multiple lists over the years, including Fast Company’s “Most Creative People” list, The Hollywood Reporter’s “Top 25 Most Powerful Digital Players,” Women’s Wear Daily’s “Digital Power Posse” list and Variety’s “Digital Entertainment Execs to Watch.” In her own words, “Becoming an entrepreneur isn’t for the faint of heart.”
