How I made my first best friend

In this heartfelt and humorous clip from a local small business event, I share the story of how I accidentally discovered the power of likability at just seven years old. That childhood lesson sparked a lifelong fascination with connection. Today, I bring that passion to everything I do—whether I’m guest hosting the Dr. Raj Podcast, leading a women’s friendship retreat, developing workshops that help professionals grow, or volunteering in my community. At the core of it all is a simple goal: helping people build better relationships by showing up as their most likable, authentic selves.
