Episode 33: When Flowers Tell Stories
Sometimes, reinvention begins quietly — with a fresh start, an honest reckoning, and the courage to choose creativity over comfort. In this episode, we sit down with Sanya Lakhani, the founder and creative force behind Farishta Flowers, a Brooklyn-based floral studio known for its ethereal arrangements and intentional design. What began as a personal reset after leaving Texas and a corporate career that no longer felt aligned, slowly bloomed into a business rooted in memory, identity, and love. Named after her mother, whose maiden name Farishta means angel in Farsi, Sanya’s work is deeply personal. From learning to tend a garden alongside her mother to navigating New York City as a Pakistani woman in creative spaces, she shares how her roots continue to shape the art she creates today.
