We had the good fortune of connecting with Mandana & Mouna Zarghami and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mandana & Mouna, how do you think about risk?
Taking no risk is the biggest risk. When it comes to anything in life, there’s always going to be a risk. A risk that it might not work out but you learn something from it, or it will be the best risk you’ve taken. When you’re growing and evolving, you have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Growth, purpose, drive, and vision don’t come to life when you choose to stay stagnant.

For anyone who’s really talked to us about our entrepreneurial journey, you’ll know how many businesses we tried to make work but ended up failing until we found one that really worked for us and that aligns with our true purpose and goal. In order to grow, you have to be okay with experiencing failure. Fail forward. Everything you’ve experienced and learned from will take you to where you need to be.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
Bloom Within is a woman-owned business that helps to inspire women to live to their full potential. Bloom Within designed the first-ever Evolve Journal, which is a journal designed to navigate through topics that are key elements in understanding, healing, and evolving into the best version of yourself.

The first step you have to take in order to live out to your fullest potential is to work through difficult things that may be hindering your growth and mindset. This 12-week journal navigates topics of self-understanding, relationships, and goal-setting.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
One of my favorite places to eat in Buckhead, Atlanta is Pasha! They have a wide range of amazing Mediterranean food and drinks!
