This is my father at 80 - still checking his list, still remembering everyone’s birthday, still showing up for people the way he always has.
My grandfather Apu Selo gave everything away. My father Bah did the same - left for Saudi when I was six, became a public servant who couldn’t stay silent against corruption, spoke truth even when it hurt his throat to do so.
I followed this legacy blindly until I learned: giving from overflow is sustainable. Giving from depletion is not.
Bah, you’ve given so much. Some remember, some forget. But I see you.
At 80, you don’t need another purpose. You’ve proven your worth a thousand times over.
Now it’s time to simply live. To receive. To let life spoil you for once.
Thank you for all your love, your support, your thoughtfulness. You taught me how to love by loving so completely.
Happy 80th birthday, my dear father. You deserve every bit of this celebration.
With all my love, Kends

I recorded this last night right after a session, still processing what moved through me.
It’s 2.46 minutes of raw reflection on what it means to hold space and to be held.

Last night after a client session, I cried.
This morning? I woke up completely clear, like nothing happened.

That’s actually the whole point.
My client asked me yesterday how I stay present, how I find peace.

Here’s the real answer: 𝙄 𝙡𝙚𝙩 𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝 𝙢𝙚.
𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙤 𝙖𝙣𝙮𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜,
not even my own tears.

The crying wasn’t a problem.
It wasn’t something that needed fixing or processing for days.
It was just energy completing itself. I felt it fully, and then it was done.

I think a lot of us believe that if we’re truly spiritual or “doing the work,” we won’t feel things as intensely anymore or that if we do feel them, it means something’s wrong, that we’re backsliding or not healed enough.

However, that’s not how it works.
You can be deeply moved by your work, by life, by another person’s journey and still wake up at peace.

You can cry and be sovereign at the same time.
You can hold space for others precisely because you know how to let everything flow through you without it sticking.

Presence isn’t about not feeling.
It’s about not clinging.
Nothing lingers longer than it needs to.
That’s the practice.
That’s the gift I want you to know is possible for you too.

If something in you recognized itself in these words, you’re welcome to reach out.

I work with clients one-on-one, and I hold space the way I’ve described here - with presence, without agenda, allowing whatever needs to move through you to complete itself.

𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞.

Not tied to moments or outcomes,
but to all of it.

Every person.
Every encounter.
Every situation that clarified truth.

Nothing was a mistake.
Nothing was wasted.

I hold the past without charge now,
only reverence.

No story to carry forward.
No identity to defend.

Only presence.
Only clarity.
Only quiet gratitude.

I’ve opened a quiet writing space on Substack.

It isn’t instructional or self-improving.
It’s a place to pause, notice, and remember what’s already here.

Sharing it in case it resonates.

Sometimes, the stories we carry convince us we are broken.
Yet wholeness was never lost. It was only waiting to be remembered.

Being featured in Woman Business Circle Magazine is not about what I do. It is about why I serve.

I hold space for those who are ready to lay down the burdens that were never theirs to carry,
and to release inherited patterns, dissolve fear, and return to their own sacred inner knowing.

In my presence, women remember that freedom is not something to chase.
It is something to choose.
It is here. Now.

Thank you, Woman Business Circle, for sharing this story of remembrance, reclamation, and new beginnings.

📖 “Vida reminded me I wasn’t broken. I was just carrying stories that weren’t mine to hold.”

✨ If you are ready to step into your own Limitless Abundance Lifestyle, my door is open.

There is something I want to share with clear intention. When you step into my space, you are not entering a method. You are entering a field that remembers who you are before your mind catches up.

You do not need to impress me.
You do not need to appear strong.
You do not need to tell your entire story.

Your system responds first.

Your breath may settle on its own.
Your chest may open with ease.
A part of you may soften that has been tense for years.

This is not pressure. This is remembrance.

I do not take you back into pain. I help your system dissolve the emotional patterns that once protected you yet now drain you. We work through sensation, breath, stillness and the truth that rises naturally when it feels safe.

Why I Work in Packages of Four or Six Sessions

My work is not lifelong therapy. It is not talk based. It is not about reliving the past again and again.

One session opens the awareness.
Four to six sessions complete the transformation.

Each session opens and closes a layer.
One layer settles.
Another reveals itself.
The work unfolds in a gentle sequence your system chooses.

Across four to six sessions, we move through the connected layers that belong to the same emotional root. Each session completes something. Each session clears something. Each session brings you closer to your true self.

The transformation lasts.
The shifts stay.
The work becomes part of you.

If you feel the pull, something within you is already opening. You may message me when you are ready. Your timing is wise.

🕊️ If you need support, I am here.

What a night to remember! ✨
Walked the ramp for “Where Style Meets Sustainability” — my first ever fashion show and a cause I deeply love.

Wearing a restyled piece by Sabira, guided patiently by Deedu, and supported by Rekha, Vasanthi, and Gowri — it all came together so beautifully.

Sustainability never looked this stylish. 💫

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿

I didn’t take a public speaking class to find my voice.
I already knew who I Am.

Every moment, I’m seeing a deeper, more radiant light—
one that grows louder, clearer, and impossibly powerful.

From the moment I set the intention to speak with confidence,
life started opening doors: chances to rise, express, and shine.
It wasn’t about perfect delivery.
It was about presence.
It was about letting my light speak before my words ever did.

Thus, when my teacher called me the 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 at the culmination of our six week-Public Speaking class (Batch 2),
it wasn’t new, it was recognition,
a mirror, and
a remembering.

Thank you Sir Kent of for recognizing. You are able to see it in me because you are also a Light Bringer. We all are.
Some are just ready to claim it.

To everyone walking home to themselves:
You don’t need to become anything.
Just keep allowing your light to reveal itself, moment by moment.

✨ Ready to let your own light speak? Drop a 🌞 below.

Watched my first Rapid Fire at a week later… and felt the cringe rise — then melt.

I felt cringe not because I said the wrong thing,
but because I saw myself unfiltered.

When Nisha asked, “One word to describe you?” I said, “Quirky.”

When she asked for my go-to mantra when life feels overwhelming, I said, “WTF.”

Let’s be honest, when emotions run high, affirmations don’t always land.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can say is “WTF.”

There was something so raw in that moment that I think I’m only ready to see now with love and acceptance.

I used to think those moments meant I’d lost my alignment.
Now I see them as proof that I’m human enough to feel it all.

✨ What part of you are you finally ready to see with kindness?

🌟Are you ready to embrace you for all that you are and do, unapologetically?

If you’re ready to meet yourself with more compassion, that’s the work I love to do. You’re welcome to connect.



P.S. Thank you to Nisha for this fun and insightful experience, only at her Thursdays’ . Come and join us.

Going through my IG drafts and saw this post as unsent. It was one of my reflections few months ago. I feel like sharing it now to whoever it resonates with.

Now, I claim emotional mastery. So can you.

*****
August 2025

Last year, I came to the beach for 21 days straight—
burnt out, bitter, overwhelmed, full of silent rage.
I didn’t want to be healed.
I just wanted to be held.

So I let the waves hold my resentment.
My overwhelm.
Even the revenge I was too ashamed to admit.

And something shifted.
I didn’t dissolve…
I remembered.

Now, I no longer drown in my emotions.
I let them move.
And I stay sovereign.

If your body is asking to be seen,
message me.
Let’s return you to your truth.

𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲?

I used to believe it wasn’t safe to be seen.
Especially to be seen in my truth.
So I hid—just enough to survive, not enough to live.

Then I noticed… most thoughts are just echoes, not truth.
“It’s not safe to be seen” was never proof, only memory.

Now I let it flow. Truth changes every moment.
What remains is presence—quiet, whole, unapologetic.

→ Read that again. You’re not the voice in your head.
You’re the space it moves through.

𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙝𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙨 𝙮𝙤𝙪?

I’ll hold presence while you remember it’s safe to be fully seen.
That’s who I am.
