My Personal Journey!
I wasn’t always the person you see today.
For a long time, I lived with this constant pressure to be agreeable, kind, and understanding — no matter what.
❌ I had fear of Failure
❌ I had fear of losing people
❌ I had faced anxiety over trivial or major issues
❌ Went through Phase of depression when hit with critical illness in family
❌ I tolerated toxic people.
❌ I avoided conflict, even when it hurt me.
❌ I said “yes” when everything in me screamed “no.”
❌ I thought being good meant being silent, forgiving, and sacrificing myself.But over time, that silence became emotional exhaustion.
❌ I lost my voice.
❌ I lost confidence.And most painfully… I lost my sense of self.
Then life shook me. I went through deep personal challenges — including grief, separation, supporting loved ones through cancer, and battling loneliness. These weren’t just life events.They were emotional earthquakes that broke every illusion I had about strength, love, and boundaries. And in that darkness, I realized something:
✅ I learned how to set boundaries
✅ Learnt mastering emotions & issues such as Fear, Anxiety, overthinking
✅ Faced many challenges that broke me completly but developed strengthen as well to face any challenges.
✅ How to speak with calm confidence.
✅ How to stop pleasing others at the cost of my peace.
✅ And how to lead my life — instead of reacting to it.
✅ Learnt self Mastery - Studied different religion which helped me lot of become powerful.
Now, I coach people who were just like me to overcome different personal and professional challenges through Self Mastery and Self development!
