Hi!
š Shireen here. Iām so glad the digital forces brought you to this newsletter.Ā
Iāve been on quite a journey latelyāit involves breaking A LOT of rules and building a life Iām actually very proud of.
I call it my Edvolution: an evolution that results from unlearning most of the BS that was taught to you and re-educating yourself.Ā
Iām sharing my Edvolution publicly in hopes that it can inspire and support someone elseās. Weāll discuss everything, from āIs work-life balance actually a thing to strive for?ā to āWhy quitting might be the best thing you do.ā
Committed to thinking critically and creating a life on your own terms? Excellent, hit that handy subscribe button below, and letās do it together. šš½
Who I Do This ForĀ
š The person who feels like there has to be a better way to navigate life.
š The person that wants to unlearn much of what they were taught growing up so they can learn what truly matters.Ā
š The person who wants to feel what it means to live a meaningful life.Ā
š The person who desires to learn how to think for themselves.Ā
Sound like you? Phew! Knew I wasnāt alone!
Our Time Together
š¤ I like to start with a question...a question that makes us think more critically, examine our own beliefs, and identify anything we need to unlearn or learn.Ā
Iāll share my exploration of that question through personal experiences, hand-picked resources, inspiring stories, and most importantlyāsimple and easy ācanāt wait to try this ASAPā tools.

Co-founder & CEO. Big Empath. Life-Long Learner. Committed Thinker. š
As a naturally rebellious kid, I always considered myself above the norm. That feeling guided me into adulthood when I rejected the traditional consulting route to launch my own company. It guided me when I said no to the big fat South Asian wedding tradition and eloped to marry my college dropout boyfriend. (No regrets!)
But through it all, I never stopped feeling like an imposter. And then one day, it hit me.
Shireen, youāre still influenced by other people, your self-worth is hinged on societal expectationsāyour decision-making is not your own.Ā
It was at that moment I decided to wake up and create a life that truly felt like mine.
I decided to unlearn many of the limiting beliefs I carried as a result of what I was taught a āperfect lifeā should be. It was time to get grounded and redefine life on my own terms.
Iāve had a lot of support and love on this journey, and this newsletter is my way of paying it forward. Itās also my way of finding other people like me. š
Supported By Edvo
Oh hey, thatās my startup! My Edvolution wouldnāt be possible without the many conversations I have daily with my incredible team, and the intentional tools we build to help anyone take learning into their hands and start thinking for themselves.Ā
Occasionally Iāll talk about the cool things weāre doing, but I promise only the big and exciting stuff youāll care about.Ā š
