b"Arsiak Vartenian and I met at a Broad Shoulders women\\u2019s networking event in Chicago! \\xa0She\\u2019s an open book, a role model for women, and had quite the emotional journey to becoming a mother. \\xa0Multiple miscarriages, IVF doctors, pregnancies, embryos, and surrogacy, is becoming a mom instinctual? \\xa0Did you make plans to become a parent? Did you talk to medical professionals to find out what to expect when you\\u2019re expecting? \\xa0What kind of mother will you be? \\xa0What do you wish you knew before embarking on the parenthood adventure? \\xa0Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy.\\nArsiak Vartenian, is a builder of women, the community, and the host of Smart is the New Sexy, an uplifting talk show, and online platform. She aims to highlight the power of dreaming big through storytelling, connection, community, and heart.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nArsiak grew up in Arkansas, where she never truly fit in. Her dreams often felt \\u201ctoo big\\u201d for her surroundings. With extended roots in Chicago, she knew that like the skyscrapers, the sky was the limit -- as soon as she could spread her wings, she moved north and signed up for college in the Windy City.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nCollege came to a close just shy of completing her senior year when Luxury Real Estate became the apple of her eye. She took a leap of faith and dove headfirst into her raw excitement. She was ready to learn and face all of the challenges the career could provide. She just wasn\\u2019t prepared for opposition from those she hoped would be her mentors. Yet again, faced with remarks that her dreams were beyond what she could produce. Even to this day, she\\u2019s felt the eye roll of doubt around Smart is the New Sexy.\\xa0\\n\\n\\n\\nEven through years of self-doubt and the doubt of others, a complicated divorce from her first husband, momentous financial failures, and the death of close family members, she\\u2019s chosen to push through and prove them all wrong.\\xa0\\nHer divorce clouded her identity for a while and she needed to rediscover who she was. She put real estate on hold and returned to school to study Fine Arts & TV Production with a minor in journalism. Flash forward and you\\u2019ll see the direct correlation to Smart is the New Sexy. It just took her a decade to really find her confidence and be in front of the camera.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nThis confidence was shaped from active self-discovery but also listening and connecting with others' stories of challenge and triumph. Their stories enabled her to take steps to truly change course and subsequently experience real love and build upon a successful career.\\xa0\\nToday, at the helm of Smart is the New Sexy, she feels more empowered now than ever before. \\xa0Empowered Women Empower Women.\\nSmart Is The New Sexy has also been recognized by local Chicago and national broadcasts.
