When NoorJehan Tourte decided to chase a childhood dream, she had no idea it would lead to such profound realizations about success, resilience, and the electric charge of joy that comes from facing life's challenges head-on. Her tale isn't just about modeling aspirations; it's a beacon for anyone who's ever been held back by the fear of failure or the weight of cultural expectations.

NoorJehan's story is a testament to the power of embracing failure, as she recounts her spontaneous decision to chase a childhood dream of becoming a Sports Illustrated model. Though she didn't land the cover, her experience became a catalyst for empowering others to find the courage to face their own challenges and embrace the lessons that come with them. Her philosophy on life's trials and the importance of going for it, despite the odds, is sure to leave you inspired.

This episode takes you through the intimate narrative of self-discovery and cultural navigation, as told by a Southern Californian with Indian roots. She discusses the tension between fulfilling community expectations and personal dreams, like her pursuit of modeling that challenged conservative norms. The support of her husband becomes a focal point, emphasizing the crucial role of empowerment in relationships. Our guest's journey towards autonomy and happiness serves as a powerful reminder that choosing your own path can lead to profound contentment and fulfillment.

We pay homage to the legendary Indian composer Naushad Ali through the eyes of his granddaughter, who honors his legacy by writing a biopic. This heartfelt chapter highlights the deep connection between family bonds and creative pursuits, and the redemption found in storytelling. Moreover, we tackle the destructive nature of self-pity and comparison, advocating for confidence-building activities and a mindset geared towards joy.

Finally, we speak about her plant based protein bar company, FGP Bar,  that she has created with her husband. After an exhaustive search, she and her husband & co-founder couldn't find the right protein bar that was plant-based, low in sugar and most importantly delicious. So the Fiber Greens Protein bar was born! She's offering a special deal for our audience if you use promo code FGPGG20 for 20% off any purchase.

Join us for an episode filled with rich narratives and life lessons that promise to engage, enlighten, and encourage you to embrace your own journey with enthusiasm.
