S3E136: From Branding to Belief: Preeti Juneja on Purpose, Loss, and Starting Again
In this episode of The AboutHer Show, Preeti Juneja, Founder & CEO of DreamWeb India, reflects on the road less travelled, where success is defined by purpose, courage, and inner growth rather than glamour alone.
Rooted in the pillar of Voice & Visibility, the conversation explores personal branding for women, the power of consistent storytelling through her Inspiring Women interviews, and why women must own their narratives, especially in their 30s and 40s. Preeti also shares her shift towards purpose-driven, social-impact work and her mission to revive cultural identity through House of Sodesii.
In a deeply moving segment, she opens up about navigating life after losing her husband during COVID, the phases of grief and awakening that followed, and the strength that comes from faith, surrender, and gratitude.
