Have you ever felt torn between your different passions and unsure how to bring them all together under one story?

Today’s guest is Sarika Sake, a former UN official turned award-winning entrepreneur with a mission to spread joy and preserve the 2000-year-old craft of Japanese Sake. She’s the founder of Sarika International and the Sake Beauty Balm, a natural cosmetics brand infused with sake and recognized by the 2024 European Natural Beauty Awards.

In this episode, Sarika opens up about navigating life as a multipassionate entrepreneur, running several businesses while anchoring them under one personal brand. From her surprising first encounter with “real” sake, to launching a face yoga practice by accident, to creating a community for global women leaders, Sarika shares how everything she does ties back to joy, sustainability, and women’s empowerment.

We also explore how she’s learned to share her story in a way that honors both her values and her privacy, and why owning all her “babies” (aka business ventures) helped her define a brand that feels true to who she is.

If you’ve ever wondered how to merge your many interests into one clear message, don’t miss this inspiring conversation.
