Find Your Why with Hye Jin Kalgaonkar

Hye Jin Kalgaonkar is the CEO and Founder of The Hot Room, a growing yoga and fitness brand in the Midwest. Born in Seoul, Korea and raised in Seattle, WA., Hye Jin started working for Eli Lilly and Company after college, which led her to Indianapolis! She and her husband, Ashish, discovered Bikram yoga in New York. Once it was time to move back, Hye Jin looked at the yoga scene and discovered Bikram yoga was not offered in Indianapolis. That’s when she realized she needed to build the studio. In her spare time she loves spending time with her husband, Ash, and two girls, Maya and Annika, and their dog Cooper. When she’s not in The Hot Room, she’s outside hiking, traveling, and exploring new cities.

In this episode we talk about:

• her journey to becoming the boss lady she is today
• finding your WHY and the benefits of it
• identifying your way of being and being intentional every day to show up that way
• reverse engineering your life to become the person you want to be
• the life changing impacts of yoga and mindfulness
