About this episode
Hi!
Today, we speak to Shameless Media’s Style-ish Podcast co-host, Anika Joshi-Smith.
Anika is ambitious, hard-working, and someone willing to take risks. She left her hometown in New Zealand at 21 to propel herself in the Melbourne fashion scene, and it absolutely paid off; she’s the director of Sage agency.
In this conversation, Anika opens up about her 12-year relationship with her husband, James, and how losing her Dad and experiencing repeated pregnancy loss brought the two of them closer together than ever. Anika is now pregnant, and she’s reflecting on the next phase of her life, slowing down to prioritise parenthood.
