Welcome to In The Room — where real conversations, real connections, and real experiences change everything.
I’m Palak, Founder of In The Room (formerly Embiria) and Author of Beautiful Everydays. I’ve been called the “Queen of IRL” because of my deep love for living in the moment, gathering people together, and creating real-life experiences—especially around the table. At the heart of everything I do is a simple truth: authentic connection is everything.
I curate community events and lead a private membership that brings women together in the room to connect over shared experiences. Through my book, Beautiful Everydays, I share simple yet powerful ways to turn ordinary moments into meaningful ones. That same philosophy runs through In The Room: a space designed for presence, connection, and real-life moments that move you forward.
Whether it’s through the pages of my book, a gathering I’m hosting, or the conversations happening in the community, everything I create is an invitation to show up—to be in the room for your own beautiful life.
This is a space for real conversations, deep relationships, and meaningful experiences that remind you of what truly matters. Because sometimes, one moment, one connection, or one conversation is all it takes to change everything. If you’re ready to live more fully—with intention, joy, and others by your side—you’re in the right room.
OFFERINGS
I believe a meaningful life is built through presence and connection—by noticing and celebrating the beauty in your everyday.

Events & Gatherings
I find joy in bringing people together, cultivating connection through deep conversations, and building community — preferably over a delicious meal.
After curating 350+ In The Room events and gatherings since 2017, Palak continues to host and collaborate on intentional events through her signature methods for cultivating conversation and connection. If you’re an individual or brand that wants to gather with purpose and leave an impression longer than a 10 second reel, get in touch with Palak to host or co-host your event.
