Mental health spirituality life coaching is not a trendy trio for me. It is the language of survival, and later, the language of purpose.

When a Prime Minister Needed a Mirror: Indira Gandhi, Krishnamurti, and the Quiet Power of Life Coaching
India loves the image of the lone strong leader. The iron will. The sleepless patriot. The person who is somehow beyond confusion, beyond fear, beyond the very human wobble we all experience when the lights go off, and the mind begins its nightly commentary. But leadership does not cancel the nervous system. Power does not…

The overachiever’s secret panic: when doing more is how you survive
I meet them in coaching rooms all the time. People who do not fall apart. They optimise.

Gender-Equal Justice in Mauritius: What World Religion Day Made Me See
I walked into the World Religion Day gathering today with the cautious curiosity I reserve for anything that uses a phrase like “reconceptualising justice”.
