In September 2025, I took the stage at Shoshanna Raven's Living Brave Live to share a story that has shaped every part of my life, my leadership, and the global movement I've built through SoulWork.
This is a deeply personal talk about what it takes to rise as a woman who is devoted to both spiritual depth and business mastery, while creating a legacy of holy redistribution and meaningful impact in the world.
The journey begins in the red-light districts of Kolkata, India, where I first encountered the raw edges of human suffering while working alongside survivors of human trafficking. That experience forever changed me. It sparked a defining moment in a cracked mirror, where I asked myself if I was willing to give up everything to be the one who took action — and made the decision to stop waiting for somebody somewhere to do something, and instead become that somebody myself.
Out of that moment, SoulWork was born — an organization dedicated to training trauma-informed yoga teachers, leading global retreats, and supporting humanitarian projects around the world.
Since its founding in 2015, SoulWork has:
Certified thousands of teachers worldwide
Built schools and classrooms in India, Guatemala, and Costa Rica
Created programs that merge trauma-informed leadership with spiritual practice
Crossed $3 million in lifetime revenue while staying rooted in purpose and integrity
But my journey hasn't always been easy.
Behind the scenes of sold-out retreats and visible success, I struggled with financial scarcity, debt, and the pressure of carrying a global mission. I share how I went from being overextended and exhausted — running 50 retreats a year — to completely restructuring my business into a sustainable, high-profit, low-maintenance model.
This shift didn't just transform my business, it transformed my life. It gave me the space to:
Renovate my grandfather's home in cash
Build a stable financial foundation for my family
Deepen my spiritual practice as a lineage carrier in the Himalayas
Expand my humanitarian efforts in a way that is truly sustainable
In this episode, I also introduce the archetype of the Philanthropic Femme — a rare kind of woman who embodies three essential pillars:
Spiritual Depth – devotion to personal practice and a connection to something greater than herself
Business Mastery – the strategy, systems, and leadership required to scale her vision
Holy Redistribution – using wealth to fund movements, support marginalized communities, and create systemic change
This talk is an invitation to every woman who feels the tension between her desire for inner fulfillment, her outer success, and her calling to make a difference.
If you are ready to:
Build a business that reflects your soul's purpose
Step into financial sovereignty while staying deeply rooted in service
Merge feminine leadership, conscious business practices, and philanthropy
And become the woman who stops waiting and starts creating the change she longs to see
…this episode will light a fire in your spirit.
You'll leave with a new perspective on leadership, wealth, and impact — and the clarity to walk your own path as a Philanthropic Femme.
