In this powerful continuation of our soul’s yatra, Maneesha revisits the two coordinates of our journey—where we are and where we wish to go—and brings us deeper into the heart of conscious living. From ancient wisdom to personal transformation, she reminds us that we are not victims of circumstance but architects of our destiny. Through introspection, storytelling, and humor, she explores the mind’s role in shaping our reality, the danger of living by others’ labels, and the path to reclaiming our intuitive intellect.
This episode will awaken the part of you that’s ready to stop surviving and start choosing—your path, your voice, your identity.
