I Know What It's Like When Success Feels Hollow

​

For 23 years, I climbed the corporate ladder across continents—collecting titles like Pokemon cards while my soul kept asking the same question since age 11: "Why was I born?"

I was really good at the game. So good I turned down two promotions to upper management. (My boss thought I'd lost my mind. My soul knew I'd finally found it.)

​

From Boardroom to Sacred Purpose

Growing up in India's lush Nilgiri hills, surrounded by temples, mosques, churches, and ancient forests, I thought I'd become a nature guide. Instead, I became a risk management executive. Life has a sense of humor.

But those mountains taught me something corporate never could: transformation requires slowing down. Real awakening comes in the pauses between breaths, in moments when we stop long enough to hear what's been calling all along—whether through inner wisdom, nature's whispers, or the cosmic intelligence that speaks when the ego finally quiets.

Today, from Luxembourg (yes, I chose it partly for the forests), I blend corporate experience with certified purpose guiding to help professionals worldwide move from "successful but hollow" to "purposeful and lit."

Why I Still Have My Day Job (And What That Means for You)

Here's what might surprise you: I still have my corporate job. I'm writing this before work, just like you're probably reading it between meetings.

I call it my "survival dance"—the work that pays the bills. But now I also have my "sacred dance"—the purpose work that lights me up. I'm learning to do both from the same desk.

Because purpose isn't about burning your business cards and moving to Bali. It's about bringing the sacred into the survival. It's about becoming real—and real includes mortgages, day jobs, and the beautiful mess of being human while reaching for something more.

​

What Makes My Approach Different

Most programs focus on thinking OR feeling OR spiritual practice. I recognize you're a whole being—with psychological patterns, ancestral wisdom, and a soul calling that wants expression. Whether your power looks like fierce advocacy or quiet nurturing, whether you find guidance through logic or intuition (or eagle sightings at crucial moments)—your path is valid.

My training:

• ICF-Certified Life Coach (120+ hours)

• Certified Purpose Guide™ (Purpose Guides Institute)

• 23 years corporate leadership experience

• Trained 100+ leaders in transformational skills

But what matters more: I understand the tension you're living. The growing gap between who you show up as and who you actually are. The exhaustion of performing a life that doesn't feel like yours.

​

The Vision: You're Not Alone in This

I'm building a global community of purpose-driven souls—corporate leaders consulting inner wisdom, parents raising conscious children, professionals bringing their whole selves to work. All contributing to the healing and wholling of our world.

This isn't just individual awakening. It's collective transformation. One authentic life at a time.

​

Let's Connect

That question from my 11-year-old self—"Why was I born?"—has an answer for you too. One that's more practical than your ego fears and more profound than your mind imagines.
