Nimrita Dadlani, founder and CEO of legal AI startup Pivot, was living in survival mode. Fear, overwhelm, sleepless nights, and a dysregulated nervous system, even as her business was performing better than ever.
Today, she's raised investment from three investors, signed her first law firm clients, been featured in The Times, and won funding at London Tech Week.
In this episode, Nimrita shares the inner journey that preceded her outer results. We talk about nervous system regulation, the Miracle Journal, the athlete-in-the-arena mindset, visualisation before high-stakes pitches, a day-long spiritual retreat, and what it actually means to lead from within when you're a single parent running a startup.
Raw, honest, and genuinely moving. If you're a leader or entrepreneur who is performing on the outside but not at peace on the inside — this one's for you.
