👉 (Free 3-Day Experience) May 23 - 25, 2025 and get a chance to win a trip to India ---------- I’m taking you behind the scenes of one of the biggest identity shifts of my life — a shift that turned my scrappy, piecemeal yoga hustle into a multi-million-dollar Dharmic Legacy Brand.

đź’Ą The Likability Trap: How Soft Manipulation is Holding Women Back
What happens when being “likable” becomes a strategy? In this real and raw episode, I’m calling out the quiet, insidious ways women use soft manipulation—hiding behind kindness and likability to get what they want. But here’s the thing—it’s costing us our power. I’m unpacking how this wounded approach to leadership is ingrained in us and why it’s time to break free. This is about choosing integrity, authenticity, and fierce honesty over the need to be liked. 🌿
🌱 Dismantling Soft Manipulation: Why Integrity Matters More Than Likability
In a world that’s constantly telling women to smile and be pleasant, what happens when we choose truth over likability? In this episode, I’m diving into how women have been conditioned to soften their edges and please others to survive. But we’re done with that. I’ll share how soft manipulation shows up in leadership, why it’s a trap, and how I’ve learned to embrace my boldness and authenticity—even when it triggers others. Let’s redefine what it means to be a strong, empowered woman who leads from truth, not from the need for approval. 🌱
🌟 Why Likability is Overrated: Reclaiming Your Power Through Radical Honesty
If you’re tired of feeling like you have to please everyone to succeed, this one’s for you. I’m getting real about why emotional integrity, direct communication, and standing firm in your boundaries are non-negotiable in my world. People-pleasing is just another form of manipulation, and we’re here to break that cycle. It’s time to get comfortable with being misunderstood, stand in your truth, and lead with the kind of integrity that’s rooted in authenticity. 🌸
