I help Indian-origin women execs and CEOs who go all out for people at work & family, assert their own needs | 100's of clients, results in 6 weeks.

Anyone who meets you would be so impressed with your life,

You ‘pulled yourself up by your bootstraps’, are accomplished at your job, moved away from home & built a full set of friends-like-family. 

You take care of yourself too: journaling, meditation, personal growth, yoga  — this is your love language.

You’ve likely read more self-help books than anyone you know, including your therapist (who probably doesn't fully understand the intricacies of the high-achiever part of you and what motivates that drive).


But there’s a problem:

Your attempts at healing are making VERY little progress.

❌Headspace subscription - stops working the minute you return to real life 

❌Your insurance-covered therapist - TikTok’s already told you everything they say

❌The newest psych book on your Kindle - still hasn’t prevented burnout 

It doesn't make sense… 

You’ve done SO many things to feel like you belong — or feel less like a square peg in a round hole.

And yet you still wonder if you are enough.

It’s like spiraling thoughts, hypervigilance, and always planning ahead is just who you are.

If this resonates, please know you’re not alone.

The number ONE mistake I see tech founders/execs make is assuming their healing journey happens by ‘fixing’ their mind or by powering through.

They’re using bandaids on the problem instead of getting to the root of the pattern. 

Instead, what they need to TRULY heal is to: 

✨ Regulate their nervous system ✨

See - doing this means you no longer have an overreliance on your Sympathetic & Dorsal parts of your nervous system…

And your entire world shifts.

You’re grounded, at peace, and fulfilled.

(No more feeling anxious, constantly in fight/flight/freeze/fawn, unable to trust anyone, self-sabotaging, & feeling empty after parking your new Tesla in the garage).

Here’s just a few of the quantum shifts experienced by women I worked with:

❤️‍🔥“To put it simply, meeting Sangheeetha transformed my life enormously. She enabled me to see past blindspots that I didn't even know of in my thought processes”

❤️‍🔥“I used to get overwhelmed about every other thing & lose myself... but not anymore. Now I am able to regulate and be calm & at peace with myself”

❤️‍🔥“If you are a woman like me who feels alone, confused, and doesn't understand what the issue is despite everything in your life seemingly perfect, then go to Sangheetha!”

Are you tired of getting nowhere and feel ready to make a REAL change?

Then let’s connect.

There’s a window nobody talks about.

It’s after your parents get old enough to scare you. And before they’re bedridden and you become their full-time carer.

This is that window, for us.

Dad is 83. Mom is 72. In-laws similarly aged. All four, by divine grace, still independently living.

 Still able-bodied for their age. Nobody needs to be fed or bathed or lifted.

Not yet.

We moved back to India years ago.

I won’t pretend it’s easy. There’s career costs. Social costs. 

The daily friction of being around people who don’t think like you, won’t change for you, and have no intention of becoming the parents you wished they’d been.

We see their childhood wounds. And ours.

Some of the unpalatable stuff softened with age. The others? Nope.

Stephen Jenkinson says something that rewired how we see this:

You don’t have to be perfect to be an elder. In fact, it’s the opposite.

He calls elderhood “the institutionalization of the failure to succeed.” 

What you submit to in an elder isn’t their wisdom or their perfection. 

It’s their frailty. 

Their having been undone, over and over, until they can’t pretend anymore.


So we’re not waiting for them to become who we wished they’d been. 

We’re here with who they are.

When you move countries by yourself, your parents exist in a time warp. 

Frozen at whatever age they were when you left. 

And you live in a peer bubble. People your age, your stage, your ambitions.

You’re not around aging. 

When we moved back, we stepped into the stream.

Death is just around. Not dramatic. Not a crisis. Just present. Not just our parents. 

Friends’ parents. Uncles. Aunts. Neighbors.


Limits. Endings. Frailty. 

The human body doing what it does.

An antidote to something we didn’t even know was running in the background. 

The delusion that we’re the center of anything. 

That our careers and goals and busy important lives are the main event.

We didn’t have this antidote while we were miles away. 

We needed it more than we knew.

I help high-achieving South Asian women heal from emotionally unpredictable households - so our children inherit regulation, not dysregulation

No alternative text description for this image

You're cooking dinner.Your kid walks in: "Mom, who are you talking to?"
You weren't talking. 
You were rehearsing.

 The argument you had three days ago. 
The one you might have tomorrow. 
The conversation where you finally say the thing.

You've been mouthing words for ten whole minutes. 
You didn't notice.

Or you're driving. And suddenly you're five exits past where you meant to turn. Because you were somewhere else. 
Replaying. Preparing. Bracing.

The threat passed. 
Maybe years ago.

But your body is still in the meeting. 
Still in the labor room. 
Still in the conversation. 
Still in the house you grew up in.

One woman came to me because she wanted another child. 
But her body wouldn't let her.

The first birth had been traumatic. 
Nothing went to plan. 
She survived it. 
Her baby was healthy. 
Everyone said she should be grateful.

But her nervous system filed it as: never again.

She said: "I'm okay if this is our family size for the right reasons. But it's not. We want to expand. And my fear is stopping me."

She couldn't drive on freeways. 
Couldn't fly without panic. 
Couldn't imagine going through birth again.

Eight weeks later, she was driving. Flying. 
And pregnant with her second.

Not because she "got over it."

Because her body finally got to complete what it couldn't finish the first time.

The loop isn't PPD.

It's birth trauma. 
Motor responses your body couldn't complete.

One is emotional. 
The other is physiological.

 In the body. Time doesn't fix it.

Your body isn't broken. It's stuck.

And stuck can shift.

DM "stuck" to book a session.

Grief now speaks fluent productivity. 

Foundations launched. Nonprofits founded. 

Impact measured in pounds packed, children served, volunteers mobilized. 

We’ve lost the containers that let grief be useless. 

The wailing. The sitting. 

The year of being no good to anyone.

 So sorrow learns the only language we have left: metrics, milestones, and ‘carrying forward.’ 

I don’t think this is wrong. 

I think it’s what happens when grief has nowhere to go except into output. 

When the only way to be witnessed is to be legible. 

Scalable. Postable. 

This isn’t a criticism of anyone building something beautiful from loss. 

It’s a lament that we’ve made a world where grief has to earn its keep.

Standing in front of nearly 1,000 high school students and faculty at LSE Generate × Pine Crest School Social Innovation Festival was one of those moments that stops you in your tracks- in the best possible way.

I felt deeply honored to serve as a Keynote Speaker, but even more so, deeply humbled.

When you look out at a room filled with young people- curious, thoughtful, questioning the world as it is and imagining what it could be- you’re reminded that leadership is not about titles or stages. It’s about your responsibility to shape the future.

Responsibility to inspire without prescribing, challenge without discouraging, and remind the next generation that their ideas, voices, and agency truly matter.  We spoke about innovation, purpose, global thinking, and exploring non-linear paths. But what stayed with me most was knowing that these students are already shaping the future in ways we may not yet fully see.

Opportunities like this reaffirm why education, mentorship, and exposure matter so deeply. If even one student walked away believing a little more strongly in their ability to make an impact, then the moment was worth it.

Grateful to The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), Pine Crest School, the families, the organizers, the faculty, and most of all, the students- for the inspiration you gave me.  The future is in very capable hands- yours!

Thank you to CREW and Cal Fussman for the “Storytelling Experience,” which helped prepare me for moments like this.

Standing in the Dubai desert with a falcon (specifically the Saker falcon) is more than a memorable experience- it’s a powerful lesson in leadership, heritage, and vision.

The falcon holds deep significance across the UAE and the broader MENA region. Historically, falcons symbolized survival, partnership, and precision- working with humans, not for them. Today, the falcon represents strength with restraint, focus with patience, and ambition grounded in discipline. It’s no coincidence the falcon is a national emblem and a recurring symbol of leadership here.

What struck me most is that a falcon does not rush. It waits, observes, and when the moment is right, it moves decisively- with clarity and purpose.

As we kick off 2026, that feels like an important message:
- Lead with vision, but stay grounded
- Move boldly, but only when aligned
- Build partnerships based on trust, not force
- Honor tradition while embracing innovation

In a world moving faster than ever- across business, technology, and global markets- true leadership isn’t about constant motion. It’s about knowing when to pause, when to focus, and when to soar.

Here’s to a year of intentional growth, global perspective, and purpose-driven leadership. It’s all easier said than done, so let’s help each other! 

What lessons are you carrying into 2026?

Thank you to the trade mission hosted by the Miami Chamber of Commerce Dubai for this experience.

As we step into 2026, I’m reflecting with gratitude on 2025—a year marked by growth, resilience, and meaningful global connections.

One moment that stayed with me was watching the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, especially the match between Egypt and South Africa. The opening of the stadium was, quite honestly, chaotic—crowds surging, energy overflowing, unpredictability everywhere. And yet, within all that chaos, there was undeniable joy. A powerful celebration of culture, unity, pride, and shared humanity.

It felt like a metaphor for the year itself—and perhaps for leadership and building businesses today. Not everything is orderly or perfectly planned. Sometimes progress unfolds in noisy, messy environments. But even then, there is beauty in the momentum, meaning in the gathering, and purpose in showing up fully.

As we move into this new year, I’m reminded that growth doesn’t require perfection—just presence, adaptability, and the willingness to lead forward even when conditions aren’t ideal.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year filled with clarity, courage, and collective wins. Here’s to 2026—may we embrace the chaos, honor our cultures, and continue building with intention.

As we honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I find myself reflecting on the responsibility we carry- not just as leaders and citizens, but as parents shaping the next generation.

Dr. King’s legacy is not meant to live only in history books or annual celebrations. It is meant to be taught, modeled, and lived- starting at home. As parents, we play a critical role in ensuring his lessons endure far beyond our own lifetimes.

He taught us that courage matters, especially when standing up for what is right. He showed that using your voice with purpose and compassion can change systems. And he reminded us that character, empathy, and integrity must always guide leadership.

For our children, Dr. King’s life teaches:
• To stand up for justice, even when it is uncomfortable
• To treat every person with dignity and respect
• To lead with empathy, not fear
• To believe that one individual can make a meaningful difference

As parents, our job is not just to encourage big dreams- but to help our children understand the values behind those dreams. To show them, through our words and actions, what service, courage, and kindness truly look like.
If we want a more just, inclusive, and hopeful future, it starts with the lessons we choose to pass on today. 

When we intentionally teach our children to lead with heart and purpose, Dr. King’s dream continues—through them.

I had the honor of speaking on a panel at APEX - America's Property Expo - one of the fastest-growing global real estate gatherings, bringing together developers, investors, and industry leaders from around the world. 

Our conversation dove into why real estate remains a cornerstone for global capital allocation- from institutional funds seeking diversification to high-net-worth investors attracted to U.S. property fundamentals with insights on how cross-border partnerships and capital flows are shaping new market opportunities.

What I specifically focused on is that real estate is more than an asset class- it is a powerful engine for economic development, driving job creation, infrastructure investment, and long-term community growth while serving as a gateway for global capital into local markets.  For example, Miami’s startup ecosystem has ranked among the fastest-growing in the world, expanding nearly 28.5% in 2025, with thousands of startups contributing to innovation, talent attraction, and capital inflows. This vibrant entrepreneurial activity, paired with real estate development, reinforces Miami’s evolution from a gateway city into a global hub for investment, innovation, and community-centric growth.

Curious to hear from this community: what trends are you seeing in cross-border real estate investment right now?

This week, I attended Uncorrelated Alts at The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach, stepping deeper into the world of alternative investments and learning from allocators, fund managers, service providers, and investors exploring strategies beyond traditional markets.

As I continue to expand into this space, the conversations around diversification, private markets, and differentiated investment strategies have been especially valuable. It was great seeing my colleagues from the Miami Chamber of Commerce Dubai and the Miami Chamber of Commerce Riyadh sharing insights on the broader Middle East- highlighting the growing momentum of cross-border capital flows driven by family offices, sovereign capital, and innovation shaping a globally connected alternatives ecosystem.

It was an exceptionally well-curated event—thoughtful, high-caliber discussions and meaningful connections throughout.  And yes—only in Miami do you get to discuss alts and meet a robot 🤖. A fun reminder that innovation is influencing how we think about capital, technology, and the future of investing.

Curious to hear from this community: where are you seeing the most compelling opportunities in alternative investments right now?

As we begin the new year, I’m reflecting on a powerful moment from my Human Future Podcast conversation with Kirill Ignatieff- exploring the importance of childlike curiosity: the openness to question, relearn, and grow alongside a rapidly changing world.

In a time of rapid change across technology, business, and society, curiosity isn’t optional- it’s a leadership skill. The leaders, founders, and investors who remain curious are the ones who adapt faster, recognize patterns earlier, and build more human-centered solutions.  Grateful for the thoughtful dialogue and the opportunity to explore how curiosity shapes learning, innovation, and the future we’re building together.
