The premise of Shakti Yatra:

holding opposing truths.

After two decades coaching 2,000+ women, I noticed the same pattern again and again. Women weren’t stuck because they didn’t know what to do. They were stuck because they couldn’t hold opposing truths – ambition and rest, earning and giving, independence and connection. Shakti Yatra was built around that single observation.

worth your Sunday.

Work & Purpose

Wealth & Money

Lakshmi stays with those who stay still.

Sirisha retrieved $6,000 from a closed US bank account that had been stuck for six years – but only after she stopped chasing it. The pattern wasn’t coincidence. It was a teaching about the energy of money.

Wealth & Money

The wealth audit most women avoid.

There is a thirty-minute exercise that surfaces more about your relationship with money than any number of mindset workshops. We do it on Day 5 of the Yatra. It is the one thing every Yatri said they wished they’d done sooner.

Work & Purpose

Swadharma - and why your career is asking for it.

Most career advice optimises for the outside view – pay, title, scale. Swadharma asks a different question: what’s the work only you can do, in the way only you can do it? It changes the search.
