In a nutshell, therapy is when you go to the therapist’s room and talk about your past and in life coaching, you plan your future and work towards it. Personal Branding is a tool to achieve those goals that you set during the life coaching sessions.

You set goals in the sessions with your life coach. Then work on a step by step process to achieve those goals. Your coach keeps you accountable to do the things you need to do in order to achieve your goals. 

Now you have made peace with your past, and know what you gonna do in the future, that’s when personal branding comes in. That’s where you wanna package yourself, your business and idea so that you will be able to communicate better and people will understand.

I started going into therapy since I was a teenager. I had this HUGE BREAKUP and I was hurting so much. Luckily, one of my very good friends introduced me to therapy. 

Recently, I casually mentioned my therapy sessions, with my girlfriends. We were on a conference call and one of them went silent for about a minute. I said ‘hello’ a few times. Then she quietly said, “Yes, I’m here and listening,” but in an utter shock. I asked, “Why?” She said, “First of all, don’t believe you go to the therapy. And you are sharing about it in a group chat?” I replied, “Yes.” I looked somehow put together, that doesn’t mean I don’t need counseling. As a matter of fact, I had my shits somehow together because of those counseling sessions. And there is no way I have everything figured out. It’s a process.

The point is, therapy is still a taboo in Nepal, and even in the United States. I haven’t experienced South Asians talking about therapy openly. I was fortunate enough to get started early. Ever since I am in and out of therapy several times. It is similar to the routine annual physical checkup. We need to get our mental, emotional state examined regularly to make sure everything is functioning right.

Recently, I have started my journey with a life coach. I figured out what my goals have been, what I was doing right or wrong. There are some big goals I wanna achieve in the coming decade. We broke down the goals into small actionable steps so that I wouldn’t choke into the big piece of reality. My coach is keeping me accountable to make sure I achieve my goals in the coming decade. Talking about a decade, I have done my decade-in-review in episode 3. Please listen to it, which may help you to look back into your past and learn from it as well.


I am not a life coach, let alone a therapist. I am a personal branding consultant. I can work with you to build your brand online. The idea is, you should be able to promote yourself, your art, products, and services on your own. Personal autonomy is a great quality to develop. It helps you to connect and collaborate. If you are thinking about going into therapy, your insurance should cover it. Many non-profit organizations offer it for free. If you are into school, your school must have some kind of counseling services as well. Comparatively, life coaching is a little expensive. It is still considered to be a luxury. You can google for them. Almost all of them offer a free first session. You should take advantage of it, regardless of wherever you live because most of the services are online. Life coaching is one investment you can make on yourself that gives you the highest ROI (Return on Investment).
