We recently connected with Lilian Allahverdian and have shared our conversation below.
Lilian, thank you so much for making time for us. We’ve always admired your ability to take risks and so maybe we can kick things off with a discussion around how you developed your ability to take and bear risk?
Developing my ability to take risks has been a gradual process shaped by various experiences and a conscious effort to step out of my comfort zone. Early in my career, I recognized that growth often comes from embracing uncertainty and learning from both successes and failures. I started by taking small, calculated risks, such as volunteering for challenging projects or proposing innovative ideas. Over time, these experiences built my confidence and resilience. Additionally, I sought mentors and role models who exemplified bold decision-making and learned from their insights and approaches. Reflecting on my journey, I see that a willingness to take risks has not only opened up new opportunities but also significantly contributed to my personal and professional growth.
Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?
I am a pharmacist and small business owner focused on promoting self-care and self-love. In my professional role, I ensure that our patients receive the best possible care at the lowest possible cost. What excites me most about my work is the opportunity to make a tangible difference in people’s lives by helping them manage their health and well-being effectively.
In addition to my pharmacy career, I run a business dedicated to encouraging self-care and self-love through thoughtfully curated products and services. Our brand emphasizes the importance of taking time for oneself through our yearly undated planner. Our planner will help individuals organize their time, set goals, and track personal progress. By providing structure and clarity, this planner will encourage intentional living, reduce stress, and create space for self-reflection and mindful practices.

We’re thrilled to announce an upcoming launch of our new product line – hand poured soy wax candles. They are designed to enhance your self-care routine by providing a multi-sensory experience that promotes relaxation, mindfulness, and a sense of calm.
At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to helping people lead healthier, more fulfilling lives by integrating self-care into their daily routines. We’re excited to continue growing and offering new ways for our community to embrace and celebrate self-love.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
The three qualities that were most impactful in my journey are resilience, creativity, and adaptability.
1. Resilience:Facing challenges and setbacks with a positive mindset and the ability to bounce back has been crucial. Resilience allowed me to keep pushing forward, learn from failures, and stay committed to my goals.
2. Creativity:My passion for arts and crafts has been a driving force in my personal and professional life. Creativity helped me innovate and develop unique products, such as our comprehensive planner, and find joy in the process of creation.
3. Adaptability:Being able to adjust to new situations and embrace change has been essential. Adaptability enabled me to step outside my comfort zone, seize new opportunities, and continuously grow both as a pharmacist and a business owner.
My Advice: Embrace Challenges & Stay Positive: View setbacks as learning opportunities rather than failures. Reflect on what went wrong and how you can improve. Practice gratitude and surround yourself with supportive people.
