Wellness With Kajal

Wellness With Kajal Wellness cooking and natural foods have been a part of my life for decades. That is where 'Kajal's Healthy Kitchen' was born!

As a relationship expert, I combine coaching, energy work, and somatic practices to help you release emotional blocks, heal connections, and create lasting transformation. My mother's personal struggle with health and wellbeing led me to pursue my passion for cooking and make a difference in the world around me. Over the last 28 years, I've learned that we are deeply rooted in mother nature, which provides and heals if we stop and listen to the body.
​
Having experienced firsthand the power of nutrition and a balanced lifestyle in bringing back my mother from stage 4 cancer, I embarked on a journey of becoming a wellness chef and nutritional expert.​

I started by creating my own recipes using ancient healing ingredients, some of which are now known as superfoods, and brought them to a plate as a piece of art. It was my mission to change the idea that healthy eating was boring, bland, and uninspiring! I am a well-being coach and see clients online. I run online wellbeing programs, workshops, supper clubs, and wellbeing retreats. Get in touch with me by PM or by visiting my website www.kajalskitchen.com https://www.kajalskitchen.com/

We’ve learned to name our pain, but have we learned what to do with it?

There’s something quietly shifting in the world of healing and wellbeing, and I’ve been sitting with it for a while, not quite sure how to say it, but here it is!

Somewhere between the therapy rooms, the podcasts, the breathwork circles and the inner child work, understanding trauma started sliding into something else.

It started sliding into blame. And I get it, I really do. When you finally have a name for why you feel the way you feel, there is enormous relief in that. Years of confusion suddenly make sense. The anger, the shutting down, the patterns in love, all of it becomes explainable.

But explanation is not the same as liberation.

Gabor Maté says trauma is not what happened to you. It’s what happened inside you as a result. And if that’s true, then so is the capacity to heal lives inside you too. Not in the past, not in your parents. In you.

Esther Perel asks it even more directly.

“What are you going to do with what happened to you?”

Not who caused it. What you choose now.

Because here’s what I see in my work with individuals, couples and families. The people who transform are not the ones who stop feeling. They feel everything, but they also reach a point where they stop outsourcing their healing to the story of their past.

They learn to say:
Yes, this hurt me.
Yes, this shaped me.
And now, I get to choose who I become.

That is not bypassing your pain.
That is not excusing anyone who caused it.That is the moment healing becomes real. I’ve sat with hundreds of people in their pain. The ones who found their way through weren’t the ones who stopped hurting.They were the ones who stopped waiting for someone else to fix it.

Your parents shaped your beginning, but you, only you, are responsible for your continuation. You have a choice.

Awareness without ownership is just a very well-explained stuck

We are the most trauma-aware generation in history. The question is, are we the most healed? Wellness With Kajal

Most relationships fail for the same reason cakes do…You don’t build strong relationships overnight. Just like baking a cake, it takes the right ingredients, patience, warmth, and care. Sometimes it feels messy, uncertainty too, but when nurtured with love, it becomes something beautiful. cake Wellness With Kajal

The retired CEO’s Wife.

A woman in her early seventies sat across from me and said something I haven’t stopped thinking about.

Her husband had just retired, after decades as a CEO, he had led teams, made decisions worth millions, and commanded rooms. He was used to things running smoothly around him, and that was always the point. The difference was at work, there were people to make that happen. At home, there was just her.

The meals, the routines, the kids, School runs, the emotional scaffolding of a family. Decades of invisible labour that no one measured, no one promoted her for, and no one retired her from.

Now he was home every day, and the expectations inside the house hadn’t moved an inch.

When she gently suggested that perhaps things could be shared, his response was familiar. He had worked hard all his life, made life affordable for all! Why should he start doing housework now?

But so had she. Her work simply had no title, no salary, and no exit package.
Then she said the thing that revealed the real weight she was carrying.

“If I leave this marriage, he becomes my children’s responsibility. How can I do that to them?”

This is the quiet bind many retired CEO’s women are living inside, long after the corner office has emptied.

High-achieving men are often celebrated for what they built professionally, but the question worth asking is, what was being built at home, and by whom, while all of that was happening?

If you are a young leader building your life, partnership, and career, pay attention now. The patterns you create in your 30s quietly become the architect of your 60s. The most successful leaders understand that sustainable performance begins at home. A partnership built on genuine equity doesn’t drain you, it grounds you. What you model at home shapes the leaders your children become and the life you will one day retire into. Wellness With Kajal

MAA, the first word most of us ever spoke.

Not a title, not a role! A sound that lives in the body before the mind even learns language.

In Sanskrit, the root mā means to measure, to know, to give finite form to something infinite. A mother is called Māta because she measures the immeasurable, gives a finite shape to the infinite, and that is extraordinary. Every breath of safety, every moment of being held, every time someone saw us and stayed, that was maa at work, and yet we have built a world where that word is tied almost entirely to biology. To a womb, to a birth certificate.

I have sat with enough people in my therapy room to know the truth that most are too polite to say out loud. Not everyone who gives birth nurtures, and not everyone who nurtures gives birth.
The real question is not who carried you. It is who held you.

Feminine creative power cannot always be contained within a womb. It lives in the aunt who always made time when your mother didn’t. The grandmother who was the whole heartbeat of the family. The teacher who believed in you when you had stopped believing in yourself. The friend who showed up at your door without being asked.

In many traditions, mothering has always extended beyond biology. It is a practice rooted in care, protection, and collective responsibility, a radical form of love that emerges not just from family ties, but from communal bonds. This is not a new idea. It is, in fact, a very ancient one.

Maa was never only about one person. It was a frequency, a quality of presence, a nervous system that regulated another nervous system, a hand that held instead of withdrew.

So this Mother’s Day, I want to honour the women who were never called Maa but who lived it every single day. The ones grieving today because their womb did not carry what their heart was ready for.
The ones who mothered children through difficulty, disease, and distance. The ones whose mother was physically present but emotionally absent, and who have spent years quietly learning to mother themselves.The ones who became the cycle breaker, who chose to give what they never received.

You do not need a birth story to have a mothering story.

Maa is not a biological event, it is a somatic act of presence. It is the nervous system saying you are safe here, you are seen here, you belong here, and that, in every language, in every body, is the most healing sound in the world.

Who is the Maa you are honouring today, whether they share your name, your blood, or simply your story? Wellness With Kajal

The relationships that heal you aren’t the ones where you made yourself smaller to fit.

They’re the ones where you arrived fully, messily, completely, and found someone who didn’t flinch.

You don’t need more people in your life, you need the right ones, and here’s the part nobody tells you! The right ones can’t find you while you’re hiding.

Stop shrinking.
Start being found.
Show up daily.
Shine your light.

So many students go to university and suddenly realise, they don’t really know how to cook. But honestly, it’s not just students, many adults also stare at the fridge wondering what on earth can I make with this?

What if there was a simple app that helps you cook easy meals using the ingredients already in your fridge or pantry?

I’ve been shown an early version of something like this and it’s quite clever.

If you’d like me to send you the details so you can try it, just comment YES below and I’ll message it to you.

Would you be interested in an app that helps you cook easy meals from the ingredients you already have? Wellness With Kajal fans
