In this episode BAPS Better Living: Inspired, we sit down with Dr. Hemali Patel - neurologist, educator, mother, and children’s book author - whose journey is rooted in resilience, representation, and spiritual grounding. 

Hemali shares how she navigated the demanding years of medical training while staying connected to her satsang values, drawing strength and perspective through long hours, uncertainty, and the emotional weight of caring for patients. 

Inspired by a lack of representation in the stories she read as a child, Hemali now writes children’s books that help young readers feel seen, included, and 

 connected to their cultural identity - all while balancing motherhood and a thriving academic career.
