Here's our Fun Q&A session w/ Nasim Javan:
✴️What do you do for fun?
I enjoy spending time with my kids, love to solo travel, meet people, and thrive on building community wherever I go. I also play competitive tennis, dance salsa and bachata, and enjoy reading and spending time by the water.
✴️All time favorite book?
Daring Greatly by Brené Brown. The way she talks about vulnerability and shame, the fears of not doing enough or being enough, and how to shift and challenge these views in order to show up authentically was a great read. Fair Play by Eve Rodsky is another great read for moms that completely reframes how we think about the mental load, and how to follow a framework to give yourself permission to stop being the person who absorbs everything.
✴️What are you watching or listening to right now?
I honestly don't watch a lot of tv, and read a lot more in my free time, but I did recently watch Ginny and Georgia which was a guilty pleasure. I also just finished reading Honest Motherhood by Libby Ward- a powerful personal story about childhood trauma, reparenting yourself in motherhood, and the unrealistic myths society puts on being the 'perfect mom' or doing motherhood 'the right way.' My current podcasts are Motherkind with Zoe Blaskey, Tell Me I'm a Good Mom with Lo Bosworth Natale, and Just Us Girls, because I'm a big Paige Connell fan and love her content around the mental load.
✴️ Best vacation you've ever been on and why?
Two answers. Best trip with my kids was the Dominican Republic- watching the magic in their eyes at the beach, the pool, the shows, and just being together with close friends and family was everything. Best solo trip was Puerto Rico for my birthday. I played tennis, spent time at the pool and beach, went salsa dancing, and spent an entire day at a bathhouse- a full reset and a chance to breathe and recharge outside of motherhood.
✴️What is something most people don't know about you?
Despite working remotely, I live my entire life outdoors whenever the weather allows. My kids and I are always on some kind of adventure; playgrounds, parks, swimming, bike rides, tennis, and listening to outdoor live music. My neighbors probably wonder if I even live there. We roll in late, running on no energy, but full of memories. I wouldn't have it any other way.
