Episode 13: A heart attack makes her fearless at 65| Edith Chislett

Episode 14: She Raised Millions, Then Questioned Everything | Pooya Ahmadi

What happens when a woman wins the game society gave her and realizes she is still not free? In this episode of Women In The Penthouse, we sit down with Pooya Ahmadi, who has built her career across entertainment, fine art, and high-stakes investment. From TV producing to advising elite collectors, she achieved the kind of success most people spend their lives chasing, yet found herself facing a quiet sense of emptiness. What followed was not a retreat from the world, but a turning inward. A journey of self-love and awakening that did not ask her to leave success behind but to stop abandoning herself within it. Through her podcast House of Choices, Pooya now explores consciousness, identity, and what it truly means to live with both ambition and alignment. If you’ve ever questioned success, felt the tension between drive and meaning, or wondered what it really means to live fearlessly, this conversation is for you.
