🔔 Less doing more being, less hustle more flow!

🔔 Less doing more being, less hustle more flow!! This year I'm all about truly embodying this day in and day out while still living my passion and my purpose 🔥 ☯️ (Trying to) balance my masculine and feminine energies feels sooo incredibly liberating and I've been feeling all the feels like NEVER.before! 📆 In the process, I've so far dropped about 80% from my 'to-do' list - out with the old, making space for the new, living without any URGENCY, taking MASSIVE ACTION, and trusting DIVINE TIMING!!! 💯 MANIFESTING all day, every day! 🤪 So yeah, no long caption today for a change haha. ✅ AND, if you want to be (more) in alignment with who YOU truly are, then slide into my DMs, and let's talk, heart-to-heart! #divinefeminine #holisticliving #leadwithlove #leadwithpurpose #purposedrivenlife #purposefulliving #lifecoach #lifecoaching #seattleblogger #seattlebloggers #bayareablogger #palmspringslife #bossladymindset #manifestation #manifestyourlife #iamcreator #cocreating #conciousness #conciousliving

Our biggest teacher, this little one! My biggest test in life, this little one!! Learning to do life right every single day from this.little.one!!! ⠀
⠀
BUT, I haven't, and won't, allow me being a (doting) mother ever take away from my identity of who I am as a person/woman. I am my own person as are you, my beautiful ladies. Please NEVER forget that before losing yourselves in a dozen other labels and identities! My heart truly breaks when I chat with women who have forgotten who they truly are as they go about life fulfilling their 'duties' as a mother, as a wife, as a daughter, as an employee, as a friend, etc, etc. Let alone the gender biases/stereotypes we all have to fight day in and day out! ⠀ So please remember that you CANNOT pour from an empty cup, please please please fill YOUR cup first!!! ⠀
⠀
On a similar note, as a mother of a boy, my #1 responsibility is to raise a son who is not only respectful of girls/women who treats them as an equal but also one who will stand up for women and empower them along the way. ⠀ I was born and grew up in a culture where being born a girl was (still is in many ways and in many families) viewed as a curse. I saw that all around me as I grew up, but I was fortunate enough that my own parents never made me feel as such. So here I am to be the voice for those who aren't yet able to use their own (and lift you and empower you!). If you ever feel called to have a conversation with me in a safe, judgment-free space then NEVER hesitate to reach out! ⠀
⠀
Happy International Women's Day! Celebrate and love on yourself just as much as you do others. Sending you all BIG virtual hugs 🥰 ⠀

Moments of reflection & reassurance! [AD ] When I

Moments of reflection & reassurance! [AD ] When I had my reading with @CaliforniaPsychics advisor last year, I was a skeptic. But shortly after, sooo much changed for me both with regard to my own beliefs & in my personal life that it completely transformed me into someone who believes in every.single.thing that might seem woo woo to many. ⠀
⠀
🔥I had another reading with a psychic advisor recently, & I found so much clarity as my advisor was so spot on & my mind was blown. A peek below:⠀
⠀
California Psychic advisor (CPA): You have many gifts but one of your biggest gifts is that you size people up in a snap, the best in them & the worst in them. Your rejection is your protection!⠀
My inner voice (MIV): Wait, what, did you just say that!? You have no idea how much I needed to hear that.⠀
⠀
CPA: You are highly intuitive & you need to use your “healing abilities” more, that is how your clients get the most from you ⠀
MIV: Wow, I've signed up for several healing-related courses as I've “received” this message multiple times from multiple sources since last year⠀
⠀
CPA: You have goddess energy, very charismatic & magnetic. And you have a brilliant mind that attracts those who are drawn to very strong/intelligent people. When people can’t take your light they try to put it out ⠀
MIV: Speechless at this point ⠀
⠀
CPA: You have very powerful abundant energy that in general is going to challenge anything that is weak. Don’t become humble & lessen your power. It’s not your business
MIV: Wow, this psychic uses “my language.” ⠀
⠀
CPA: You are very mushy & soft inside, even if others feel intimidated by you, after connecting with you there is a sweetness you bring into their lives that they didn’t have before. You are sort of an acquired taste!⠀
MIV: Haha you couldn’t be more true ⠀
⠀
CPA: You speak the truth & call things out!⠀
MIV: & have gotten into trouble way more than I’d like⠀
⠀
The rest of what I heard from my psychic advisor brought such a huge sense of relief as I forge ahead with my plans⠀

Netflix and (Chill, nah) Reset, with @alexa99 🎬

Netflix and (Chill, nah) Reset, with @alexa99 🎬 [ #Ad ] I used to be one of those who'd be the all or nothing types when it came to workouts, but over the years I've learned my lesson. We can't always dedicate a whole hour to workout first thing in the morning and that's ok. And even if we did get a morning workout in, given that we all spend so much time in front of the computer it is so essential that we move our body and stay active throughout the day.

🤸🏻‍♀️ Last week on stories I was talking about how I ground and recenter myself during the course of the day. And during that time, I also add in a few lunges, squats, etc as I reset. Even 5-10 minutes of dynamic/static movements a few times a day can help regulate blood pressure, improve posture, and ease the mind.

💪🏽 And now, I can simply say, "Alexa, open Netflix” as I get those lunges in while catching the latest shows and movies on my @Amazon Echo Show, the perfect entertainment right in my office (especially on gloomy days, without my toddler screaming and running around in the background. Shhh, don't tell him that). #AskAlexa #workinyourworkout #workingmommylife #dailyinnerworkout #resetyourbody #resetbutton #mindsetreset #hoodiestyle #snowyseattle #gloomyday #netflixshows #seattleblogger #seattlebloggers #seattlemom #lifestyleguide #workoutfit #productivityhacks #tipsandtricks #amazonfinds #amazoninfluencer #amazonhome

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ "To be a parent is

⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING ⚠️ "To be a parent is to forever have your heart walk around outside your body."⠀
⠀
This past week our little one gave us a mini-scare with his tummy & chest abbo (pain). For someone who rarely ever complains of any kind of pain, it was extremely concerning for us parents every time he'd say, 'Abbo, I'm just going to lie down for a bit.' ⠀
⠀
Thankfully, he is all fine now & nothing to worry about! ⠀
⠀
💔 But immediately after, what hit me like a ton of bricks is the realization (thanks to a Clubhouse conversation) that I/we NEVER truly grieved and/or honored the soul that we lost 2.5 years back. ⠀
⠀
When our little one turned 1, we found out that we were pregnant again, but within weeks that angel's heart stopped beating. While we were still trying to process that shock, the doctor said there might be an emergency complication of my uterine rupture & that I'd have to go into surgery. ⠀
⠀
At that moment, our only focus was to avoid any further complications & that I stayed healthy (and here) for our baby boy who was already in our lives. ⠀
⠀
So I/we quickly made peace that that soul & we weren't ready yet, and I/we were grateful for what we already had. ⠀
Were we upset? Yes! But, we also quickly moved on trusting that it was all for the best. ⠀
⠀
But little did I know that in these 2.5 years the pain was buried deep inside, a wound that I needed to heal, one that I didn't even know existed!? Now that I think about it, the chain of events this past week followed by that CH conversation was leading up to this. ⠀
⠀
The universe & its master plan, WOW! ⠀
⠀
👼🏼 Finally this weekend I bawled my eyes out for the loss of that soul, and in the process, hopefully, healed those wounds. And yesterday, on Valentine's Day, we (finally) made that angel baby a part of our family, lit deepas (light), wrote a letter, made a snow angel (it snowed both days as if it was for that angel), & celebrated life beyond the realms of what we know exists! ⠀
⠀
We are very sorry, you pure soul! Your mama, dada, & big brother love you very much, will meet you when the time is right!⠀
⠀
Q to y'all: what wounds have you buried deep down that need acknowledging & healing?

What would you do if you were always exuding confi

What would you do if you were always exuding confidence? 💥 Or are you a 10/10 on confidence & already kicking-b***?⠀
⠀
💯 Confidence is a basic foundation for everything we do & do NOT do! While this isn't the first time I'm talking about confidence, one of your DMs from last week prompted this post. ⠀ A compliment that I always get is how confident I am in how I show up & what I do. Trust me, it takes a lotta work. My confidence is how I'm even here today in the first place, & do what I do (without worrying what others think/say/or do not say). I had written about where that confidence comes from here 👉🏾https://bit.ly/3oOM2Ay ⠀ Last week, I shared on IG stories that that very confidence of mine was questioned a while back and how I spiraled (swipe right).⠀
⠀
Honestly, someone's opinion of me/my personality is none of my business 🙅🏽‍♀️ especially when it doesn't serve me (the same goes for y'all too), but at that moment (& for the next couple of days) there were tons of ?'s in my head. I mean, nobody's an exception. ⠀ So why does anyone lack confidence? ⠀ Now, that's a loaded Q & there could be a dozen different underlying root causes (which many never dig deep enough to identify), but here are some common culprits —⠀
◼️Self-doubt: always looking at what's missing rather than focusing on what's already there ⠀
◼️Unrealistic expectations: oh, the need to be perfect & 100% at all times⠀
◼️Imposter syndrome: I am not good enough, self-judgment⠀
◼️Fear of failure, judgment, rejection⠀
◼️Lack of experience, skillset, knowledge⠀
⠀
Which of the above rings true to you?
⠀
💁🏽‍♀️But you know what? Lack of confidence is simply an indication of the areas of growth, that's it! But many overlook that very indication & constantly seek external validation. ⠀
⠀
In the last 6 months, I've helped many of my coaching clients do just that - gain their confidence & step into their superpower, now they are truly kicking-b*** 🔥 check out their testimonials. ⠀

Being stuck where we are or being proactive & taking action is our own choice! ⠀ #confidencecoach #confidenceissexy

Oh, the places we can go! ✈️ [ #Ad ] @qatarair

Oh, the places we can go! ✈️ [ #Ad ] @qatarairways launched its new route from Seattle to Doha this past Friday (1/29) and my family/I couldn't be more thrilled about this new addition to @flysea 💃🏽 You might have caught my excitement if you watched the stories. The travel itch just got a lot more intense 🌍 ⠀
⠀
👏🏽 Having flown all over the world from NYC, the hubs & I were we were spoiled for choice. And that changed since we moved to Seattle as we don't yet have those umpteen flight options from here. Even flying back home to (Bangalore) India added extra wait/travel time, and that was especially hard on our parents. So you can only imagine why I am as excited as I am about Qatar Airways coming to Seattle (also to SFO & LAX). ⠀
⠀
🎥 Backstory - About 10 years back, hubby and I were flying in Qatar from NYC to India to get engaged, we had gotten a free upgrade back then! And now, in a few weeks, it'll be our 10 years wedding anniversary & we were going to celebrate this milestone occasion in Bora Bora. 🏖 While that's no longer happening right now, a whole range of possibilities to travel to Africa, the Middle East & South Asia in Qatar Airways has opened up soooo many travel options for us (i.e. when our family chooses to hop on the flight again). QR is currently flying to over 120 destinations. So in a way, this news itself makes for our 10-year anniversary gift 💝 #travelcollab ⠀
⠀
🧑🏽‍🦳👨🏽‍🦳 And believe it or not, our parents are even more thrilled about QR's new route. Given QR's high standard of service, logistics, & cost-effectiveness, our parents have mostly flown in QR all these years, even if that meant flying to the east coast to do so. 💯 But now they can directly catch their 1 connecting flight back home from right here in SEA. ⠀
⠀
🙌🏽 I know that all you Seattleites share both in my experiences + excitement! ⠀
⠀
🧳 So yay, great news to kick off the new month, & look forward to 'upcoming travels'. ⠀
⠀
📸 Pic from our anniversary trip to South Africa back in Feb 2013 🦁 👩‍❤️‍👨 P.S. I was going to edit out the people behind us but it felt symbolic and chose not to - growing old and traveling the world together #qatarairways #travelpartner #airportdiaries
