Table for One with Sogand Bahadori

Bonnie Langedijk on Building HURS, Owning Your Worth, & the Shame Women Don't Talk About

In this episode of Table for One, I sit down with Bonnie Langedijk - founder of HURS and one of the coolest women on the internet (even though she’d probably hate me saying that) - for a deeply honest conversation about ambition, desire, identity, dating, loneliness, and what it actually takes to build something meaningful. Fresh off interviewing Emma Grede, Bonnie joins me to unpack the reality behind entrepreneurship: the self-doubt, the rejection, and the “why can’t I just want a normal life?” moments. We also get into therapy, women and desire, panic attacks, career pivots, and why becoming yourself is the most liberating thing in the world. From building HURS from the ground up to navigating rooms full of people she once idolized, Bonnie opens up about success, vulnerability, and learning to stop apologizing for wanting more. A conversation between two women trying to figure it out in real time, with a little oversharing, a lot of honesty, and unfortunately, no martinis (next time). We also solve the male dating pool crisis. Partially. We're working on it.

40 Years at Saint Laurent: Joy, Love & the Life In Between with Dominique Deroche

I’m sitting down with fashion icon Dominique Deroche, who spent an incredible 40 years at Yves Saint Laurent. She takes us behind the scenes of working with Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, shares what it really looked like to juggle a high-powered career with marriage and family, and gets honest about the lessons she learned along the way. We also talk advice for the next generation of women carving their own paths—and how she’s finding joy, balance, and a new sense of self after such a full-on career. This one is a must-listen!!! @tfopod @dominiquederoche_

Andy Baraghani on Cooking, Toxic Relationships, Al Pacino, and Persian Culture

Chef, food writer, New York Times bestselling author, and James Beard Award winner Andy Baraghani joins me for a heartfelt conversation about the richness of Persian culture and what he’s been navigating emotionally during a difficult moment for the Iranian community. We also get into why one toxic relationship might be more of a lesson than a mistake, the importance of treating yourself with compassion, his mission to inspire home cooks, and he settles the ultimate kitchen question: can you re-heat rice?

The "Real" New Year We Should Follow, and How to Break Through Limitations with Mindset Coach Stephanie Gray

Happy Lunar New Year y'all!! In this episode, one of my oldest friends and Mindset & Life Coach Stephanie Gray joins me to talk about the actual New Year our bodies follow (also explaining why I felt so shitty in January). She also tells me about the generations of trauma that live within us, how to break through it, and how we can expand past the limitations our bodies and mind set on us through lived experiences. We discuss this in the context of careers, material things we want, and love. The perfect episode for the new year.  Follow Stephanie at @stephanieegray [https://www.instagram.com/stephanieegray/?hl=en] Follow us @tfopod
