Part 2: Why I Decided to Leave My Corporate Life

corporate life

Since I was a teenager, I believed happiness meant being rich, admired, and successful. Growing up, I was inspired by American movies that showed glamorous lives filled with money, power, and things. I thought: that’s what it means to live fully.

So I worked hard. I climbed high. I became the leader I dreamed of becoming. On paper, I had everything. But inside, I was at war with myself.

To succeed in the corporate world, I had to be louder, tougher, and more dominant than I naturally was. I had to compromise my values—the empathy, care, and people-first approach that felt true to me. The longer I stayed, the stronger the inner conflict became.

Then came another wake-up call: I was diagnosed with endometriosis. What felt like a curse at first became the beginning of my healing journey. I discovered the power of nutrition, herbs, movement, and holistic treatments—not just to cover symptoms, but to heal the root causes of disease.

One moment changed everything. At an Ayurveda retreat in Colombo, Sri Lanka, I was receiving a Shirodhara treatment when I had a sudden realization: This is it. This is what I am meant to do. I want to learn Ayurveda and help others heal.

From that moment, I began studying Ayurveda while still working in corporate. But as months passed, the pull toward this new path grew so strong, I could no longer silence it. I knew I had to choose: keep living a life that looked successful but felt empty—or bet on myself and follow the calling of my heart.

I chose me.

Today, I’m dedicating my life to helping others heal, just as I have been healing myself. More and more people are getting sick, and I believe deeply that there is another way forward—through awareness, balance, and holistic care.

This is just the beginning. I invite you to follow my journey and see how it unfolds.
