Becoming You

Earlier this year, I had some scary news about my Lupus impacting my liver, and I have been following a raw vegan diet for the last 6 weeks to support my health. This has been one of the hardest things I have done in my life. We had a busy month with family members visiting, events, traveling, and making the diet work has been challenging. Some weeks have felt more challenging than others! I wante...

My clients want to have great relationships with their children, where their kids feel open to being vulnerable and speaking their minds. They want to truly connect with each other. It's been almost a year since I interviewed my oldest son, Arya on the podcast and a lot has changed for him! This week we talk about big changes and challenges he's overcome in school, as well as achieving his long-te...

Has your parenting been focusing on trying to change your child? Gentle parenting techniques? That's all well and good but the hardest thing in the world is to try to change somebody else! Trying to change a child's behaviour is one of the hardest, most frustrating things that you can venture, and it leaves both of you feeling exhausted. Imagine if your spouse worked on changing you every day! My...

I was never proud of the way I parented but I never really questioned it. A lot of us don't ever question why we do the things we do, it's automatic. It was how I had been parented. I had to decide what being a better parent meant to me. The more I connect with myself through breathwork, the clearer I become on who I am and what is important to me. I believe breathwork is a must-have for every sin...

"When you have a desire and you decide that you're going to make it into a reality, however small or big, the first step that needs to happen is that you need to make a decision. You have to decide that you are doing it and leave no room for doubt." I was diagnosed with Lupus 18 years ago and despite having a chronic illness, I've been living very successfully. I have had dark times with my diagno...

I'm excited to bring to you an episode based on a video that's gone viral on my TikTok account - I asked, what is the number one skill that parents need to teach their kids in life to thrive in life? When I made this video, I had no idea that it was going to be so popular, and it feels important to dive deeper into the topic to bring you more value, nuance, and context because it resonated so deep...

Join me this week with Bari Tessler, a Financial Therapist, author of book, The Art of Money, a Life-Changing Guide to Financial Happiness. I have been following her for some time now and I love her work because she blends financial literacy with emotional literacy and body-centered work. She's a pioneer in the field of financial literacy and has also is the founder of The Art of Money, a year-lon...

Trauma is what happens inside of you as a result of what happened to you but we all of us think of trauma as the thing that happened to us, the external event. Dr. Gabor Maté, a leading trauma specialist, recently sat down with Prince Harry to discuss trauma, but in a way that we don't always think about, and this episode is all about that. I attended a live virtual event of their discussion - and...

Your breath has the ability to change and transform you, not only in the present moment but also in your entire life. Many people are familiar with calming breaths designed to help bring you from a very nervous state to a very relaxed state. That's one aspect of breathwork, but the other end of the spectrum is very specific breathwork, so you can tap into a deeper conscious meditative state. This...

Sign up for the 21 day Becoming Confident Challenge: https://soul.visalakshi.com/Jointhechallenge This week, I was a guest on a podcast and was interviewed by Nuha Omer, who is an incredible, high-achieving high school student. She just recently launched a podcast all about hidden biases in the South Asian community. The conversation was so powerful, I asked to share the interview here on my podca...

I am so excited to share some of the lessons I have learned from recording 100 episodes! If you are wanting to start something that excites you and keeps calling to you, this is the perfect show. I read all these stats about how after a few episodes, most people stop showing up for their podcast. I made a commitment to myself that I would keep going no matter what, and that I would give it a good...

This short and powerful episode is inspired by a question from Facebook - and my perspective on this topic has actually changed and as a result, a lot of my coaching has changed as well. You forgive for yourself, but my perspective on do we need to forgive has changed. And a side note, it is totally okay to change your mind! The person was trying to move past being hurt and asked "How do I forgive...

We want to have extremely safe and trusting relationships with our children, but maybe we feel like we don't have time to be present in order to be able to create that relationship. If you're trying to juggle all of these balls, running a household, work, everything, and you feel terrible that one of the balls that seems to get dropped is the time with your kids - this episode is for you. Instead...

How do you stop a negative thought from spiraling out of control? You might feel it start and before you know it, you're going down a rabbit hole that you can't seem to dig yourself out of - feeling worse and worse and worse. A client asked me this question on voxer this week and I have three different levels of how to break your negative thoughts, each depending on what stage of your personal dev...

This week I am excited to share the things I am putting in place for 2023. I am not a big fan of New Year's resolutions, but this year I'm picking areas of my life that I really want to focus on and setting an overarching intention. I really let my workouts disappear. I've been focused on eating, but I have stopped moving my body and I'm starting to notice the effects of it. When I did the Everest...

This week I am bringing to you one of my most listened-to podcast episodes of the year, the dos and don'ts of manifesting. Now, as many of you know, I am a big law of attraction geek and I really use the law of attraction to my advantage in this life. With every start of the new year, we are all human and we want to start with a clean slate. Or if you had a fantastic 2022, we want to take it up a...

I have been swept up like the rest of the country by the Harry and Megan documentary on Netflix. It's six hours of them telling their story. I initially was not going to watch it, and then I was scrolling all through social media on TikTok and Instagram and people just had so many opinions and I thought it might be fun to add my own opinion to the mix. These are two people who have their own side...

I did mindset work for a long time, and it worked for a short while and helped me get started on my transformation journey, but very quickly I realized it would only take me so far. I shared some thoughts about this on instagram and people definitely felt uncomfortable with my position on mindest work! Mindset work addresses your conscious thoughts and beliefs. Most of us don't even question the b...

"Anger doesn't make us terrible people. Anger just means we react in ways where we are not proud of ourselves." This week's guest is my youngest son, Ashwin. He is incredibly considerate, thoughtful and so expressive. I love how he knows what he wants, sticks to it, and has his own opinion. Nobody is changing his mind! He surprised me with a few of his answers today. We were able to discuss anger...

When a potential client is scared to take that next step and invest in themselves, it has nothing to do with me or the program or the structure or the logistics of the program itself. There are very real fears inside that stop them from saying yes. The more I confront the fear, the more I help my audience understand like what's getting in the way of maximizing their potentia and happiness. The mor...

When I went viral, I was not prepared for the negative comments that rolled in! We look at the criticism that people give us with a grain of salt rather than ignore it. I don't say to ignore people's opinions of you, but what can you learn from this? Is any part of this true? And what is like none of your business that I need to let go of? This summer I had some tik-tok videos get very high views,...

Almost every client I work with feels they lack confidence. Success and confidence are interconnected, and when we look at what the most successful people have in common, they're all confident! When we identify markers for success, we find ways to build confidence. First, though, there are two confidence myths that we need to break apart. Some believe they will find confidence once success is achi...

I'm a storyteller at heart and I love hearing good stories, and this week's episode has several examples of breakthroughs that show the true power of breathwork, through the course of several sessions, or even just one. I promise, every single one of you listening to this podcast has experiences such as this, where you are completely unconscious to it right now and tell yourself you feel stuck, or...

Something incredible happens when you allow people to ask something anonymously - they become 10 times more courageous, brave, and vulnerable. These questions came in anonymously on Instagram and each one is it's own conversation. From questions about parenting and playing with children even when you don't enjoy play, investing in yourself and finding a coach, and dreading work and the pressure ar...
