A new solopreneur or an ambitious corporate side-hustler looking to start a podcast – you’re in the right place! 

Hey! I’m Mahrukh Imtiaz, owner and host of ‘Spicy Chai’ – a podcast for content creators.  🎙️

In Feb 2021, I aired the very first episode of ‘Spicy Chai’ – my podcast for content creators. 

Today, ‘Spicy Chai’ is ranked in the global 10% of all podcasts! A fantastic achievement at any time, but so much more amazing in just my first year. 

A podcast is an excellent choice if you’ve been looking for:

✔️ A creative outlet to help people with your knowledge

✔️ A way to diversify your income stream

✔️ An idea for a side hustle

Having my own podcast has helped me become a more confident speaker, brought me speaking opportunities, connected me to people with millions of followers and helped me clarify my message. 

50+ episodes in, I now want to inspire YOU to work up the courage to put YOUR voice, YOUR thoughts, and YOUR message out there!

But that’s not all. I thrive in fast-paced corporate environments too! As a remote leader for one of the top companies, I’ve launched an HR chatbot, driven process improvements in HR operations, and designed and implemented leadership and culture programs. 

Balancing a podcast and a demanding 9-5 has taught me how to execute and stay consistent, even with a packed schedule. 

In addition to podcasting:

🏏 I play cricket for Team Canada

🙊 I’m obsessed with my 5-year-old nephew (he’s my best friend)

🥘 I daydream about Pakistani Biryani a little too often!

A podcast isn’t for everyone but ready for your podcast to meet the world even though you are time-starved? I have a value-loaded, free training video where you can learn how to start a podcast today.

Remote Career & Lifestyle Coach (ACC/CPC)| Helping You Find a Fulfilling Remote Job | Digital #Slomad- Travel deeper 🌎 📍Currently in Spain 🇪🇸

I believe every individual is capable of creating a life they don’t need a vacation from, full of fulfillment and joy. We often get so caught up in our busy schedules and the grind of life that we lose sight of our own wants and needs.

I’m here to help you get clear on your desires and empower you to show up for yourself as you build your most fulfilling + authentic career and lifestyle. 

From targeting your resume to finding and landing an aligned role, designing a fulfilling lifestyle, or moving across the globe, I am here to support you in making *MOVES* towards the life you truly want to live.

I’ve been fortunate to gain a diverse range of HR experience in the Silicon Valley tech space working in early to late-stage start-ups. After working as a Recruiter, I transitioned to a Project Management focus, where I implemented projects to improve the hiring process, candidate experience and the overall happiness of internal employees. My love for people and supporting their happiness and fulfillment in the workplace made it an excellent fit. 

I have a deep passion for traveling to immerse and explore new cultures. Eight years ago, I went on a life-changing solo backpacking trip through Central America, which inspired my move to Buenos Aires a year later. I moved abroad to gain Spanish fluency, grow and expand my mindset while immersing in new cultures. While working towards my coaching certification, I supported local candidates with career coaching and job search support. During my time in the city, I also created a fully remote career and lifestyle.

My career transitions, recruiting/HR background, remote work experience, life experiences traveling and living abroad, and coaching journey have fueled my passion for helping others find more fulfillment in their career and lifestyle. It's truly been a journey that has guided me to my passion for this work.

My coaching specialties include:
- Career coaching (specializing in remote work)
- International job-search support
- Intentional Lifestyle Design
- Remote work and travel transition support
- Travel and personal transformation 
- Redefining Success
- Boundary setting
- Values alignment

I am currently in Brazil, but I'm based in📍Buenos Aires 🇦🇷, where I'm building community with intentional in-person events connecting foreigners and locals, while working remotely and prioritizing growth to elevate my offerings and impact - follow my journey via Instagram @kristincvierra.

Scenes from an Argentine Christmas 🇦🇷

This year, I stayed in Argentina for the holidays for the first time, and it was a beautiful reminder of why cultural immersion matters so much to me.

This holiday I..
→Traded English for Spanish
→Christmas dinner for asados & fireworks
→Christmas morning gifts for morning mates
→Winter snow for summer sun

Cultural immersion isn't just about exploring new places. It's about deeper presence. 🤍

Really being somewhere. Really absorbing it. Really adapting. Really connecting and feeling a part of it.

For me, that's meant language learning, experiencing local customs and traditions, and letting places become part of who I am. 

What drew me to move abroad 7+ years ago...and later travel slowly through Latin America and to build this lifestyle, is the curiosity and ability to truly experience and learn from places. 

Not just to check them off a list.

There's something profound that happens when you don't move quickly, when you don't keep chasing destinations, whether through countries or on your own growth journey. 

Moving slowly and intentionally is what truly adds meaning and impact.✨

This year's Christmas was a reminder of just that, and brought deep gratitude for the special place Argentina will always hold for me. 🇦🇷 ♥️

PS. As we start a new year, I encourage you to reflect: Where in your life, or your career, are you moving too quickly? What becomes possible when you give yourself permission to slow down? To move with greater intention?

I'm sharing something tomorrow to help you intentionally enter the new year, and this above reflection can be part of that practice.

We are not meant to live on autopilot.

Yet so many of us do, taking life as it comes instead of consciously creating our reality.

Once I broke free of autopilot mode, I started a practice that keeps me living by design: Intention-setting.

Years back, I ditched resolutions and rigid goals that felt restrictive and all-or-nothing.

Instead, I embraced intentions. They are about purposeful direction, not perfection.  And they evolve just as you do.

Here's why this practice has been life-changing for me:
✨ It's flexible, not rigid: Intentions can shift as you grow, unlike fixed goals
✨ It creates agency: *You* are actively designing your reality, not just responding to it
✨ It builds momentum: Monthly check-ins keep you aligned and allow you to make changes without overwhelming you
✨ Reset when YOU need to: Not when the calendar says it’s January 1st. You can choose to set or shift intentions on your timeline.

I've been doing this for years, and it’s been one of the practices that I credit for designing and evolving a lifestyle I love, knowing what’s working well and when to adjust what’s no longer serving me.

👉🏼Swipe to see how I practice this.

Intention Setting Ritual

I spent years chasing performance reviews, and still felt empty. That's when I realized I was measuring the wrong thing.

Your company measures your performance. But who's measuring your fulfillment?

You go through performance review cycles asking:
→Do they value me? 
→Am I working hard enough? 
→Did I meet their expectations/KPIs?

But do you ever stop to ask the big questions that determine if this role is working for YOU?

Questions like: 
→Does this role align with my values and honor what matters to me?
→Am I growing on the path I desire?
→Do I feel alive and lit up by this work?

While your company reviews your performance against their metrics for success, I encourage you to measure it against your own. 

Don't wait to start asking these questions. Make space for your personal fulfillment review now.

And if it's not meeting YOUR metrics? It's time for a different kind of performance improvement plan, one where YOU define what success looks like.

If you're ready to..
✨Stop feeling numb and start feeling alive again..
✨Feel inspired instead of drained..
✨Show up fully in your work instead of hiding who you really are..

DM me. I’ve lived it, and this is exactly what I help people do.

1. Target well-funded startups strategically. VC backed often means exciting growth, hiring, competitive salaries, dynamic work, and equity. Check Crunchbase for company funding announcements to research their latest rounds and funding status. 

2. Match their speed and mission. Startups move fast and care deeply about culture fit. Highlight examples of taking initiative, adapting quickly, and thriving in ambiguity. Get creative with a video cover letter to show your genuine passion for their mission.

3. ✨Your weekly dose of mindset: Doubting your readiness for startup speed? Remember a time you learned something new in your career? You figured it out then, and you'll figure it out again. When you're genuinely excited about the mission, that energy will power you through. You’ve got this 💪🏼.
