This was such a lovely reflection Mansi. Especially how you described learning to find flow inside the uncertainty, and that quiet turning point where life starts feeling less like survival and more like presence. Beautifully said 🤎

Thank you so much for being here. I think we can never be immune to uncertainty - it will always feel uncomfortable. It is all about finding silver linings in these seasons of uncertainty. We do find ways to navigate it some way or the other. ✨

That's so relatable. The last line truly captures what's most important in life. Achievements at work are inflated to the point where it feels like a person's identity and worth depends only on that. The conversations you had with your loved ones on a road trip, the little things they do to make you feel comfortable, the diwali snacks that every mother sends; the list is unending....

On a slightly related note, I highly recommend the movie "Frances Ha" starring Greta Gerwig. It just breaks me open every time I watch it. It is about a 27 year old woman finding her feet in NYC as a dancer, navigating relationships, realizing what's important and so on.

I have been in the corporate world long enough to know that a job title does not define one's worth in life. Sure, most days we stress about deadlines like our life depends on it but the world doesn't end if we pause and take a moment to breathe. The older I am getting, the more I am realising that life is much more about the little moments which go far beyond our careers.

And thank you so much for the movie recommendation. I have added it to my watch list. Appreciate you taking out the time to read my words!💫🙏
