What if art could heal, empower, and reconnect you to yourself?

In this episode of Flawthentic Me, I sit down with watercolor artist Shelja Sharma, who left behind a career in education to pursue her true passion—creating art and helping others do the same. Shelja’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of creativity and how embracing self-expression can lead to healing, self-love, and authenticity.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Art as Therapy – How painting became a space for emotional release, relaxation, and self-discovery.
• Letting Go of Perfection – Why the process matters more than the final product.
• Building Confidence – How consistency and self-belief helped Shelja grow a thriving online art community of 60,000+ followers.
• Starting Your Creative Journey – Practical tips to help you explore art, no matter your skill level.
• The Power of Community – Why surrounding yourself with a community  of like minded people fosters growth and inspiration.

Whether you're on your healing journey simply looking for a creative outlet to de-stress or an aspiring artist, this episode will leave you inspired.

What would you say to your younger self over a cup of coffee? In this episode, I went on this unique exploration into that poignant yet inspiring idea. 

Picture this: sitting across the table from your younger self, thanking her for her unyielding perseverance and courage. Inspired by a popular Instagram trend, this is my heartfelt love letter to the past versions of me acknowledging the struggles and triumphs that laid down the foundation for who we've become. 

Travel back with me to a time:

- when the pieces of my life felt scattered after my first marriage ended, 

- when my younger version was frazzled, carrying the weight of societal pressures, yet resilient in her pursuit of love, 

- when she was questioning herself at every step, and

- when she was mad at the world and at herself. 

I am so grateful for my younger self's persistence. This episode is a celebration of healing and self-discovery. 

We journeyed through childhood experiences that shaped us, from the loss of our mom to shouldering adult responsibilities at a young age. These early challenges sparked feelings of jealousy and anger, which I learned to transform through understanding and forgiveness. 

I invite you to reflect on your own path of healing. Embrace every stage of your life, reaffirm your self-love and worth, and dance joyfully to the rhythm of your unique story.

I am thrilled to invite you to a free two-day inner child healing workshop to deepen this transformative journey. Join Here

What if you could break free from the confines of societal expectations and truly embrace who you are? Join me, Sunny Lamba, as I share my personal journey from the "good girl" who ticked all the boxes to someone who shed restrictive labels and found authentic self-love. In this episode, I am sharing 9 pieces of advice based on my life journey.

We celebrate South Asian women and the transformative power of unlearning unhelpful beliefs, letting go of age-related limitations, and pursuing passions that light up your soul.

I share advice like:
- You are more than the labels
- Age is just a number
- Unlearn what doesn't serve you
- Follow your gut feeling
and much more..

Together, we tackle the impact of societal and self-imposed labels that often stifle our potential. From battling the pressure of beauty standards to challenging the notion that certain achievements must be met by a certain age, I discuss how to rise above these constraints and redefine fulfillment on our own terms. Through anecdotes and rapid-fire advice, I encourage listeners to view age as just a number and explore new avenues of growth at any stage of life.

Join the Discover & Manifest Vision Board Workshop coming up on December 10 & 11 at 7 pm EST. Let's dive deep within ourselves to set soul aligned goals and create a vision that fires you up.

Ever found yourself constantly criticizing yourself in order to motivate yourself to get things done? You're not alone.  

I, Sunny Lamba, know this struggle all too well, especially as a South Asian woman conditioned by cultural expectations. Join me on "Flawthentic Me" as we unravel how these patterns of self-criticism sap our motivation, making us believe we're inherently flawed or lazy. Through my own experiences, we explore how easily we can slip into negative thinking but more importantly, how we can break free by understanding our brain's potential to rewire these patterns.

In this episode, we’ll explore:  
- How swapping self-loathing with neutral affirmations like "I am learning to be consistent" transforms our mindset and fuels long-term motivation.  
- The impact of societal conditioning and ancestral fears, and why these patterns no longer serve us today.  
- How small victories build confidence and foster a positive self-identity.  
- The importance of celebrating your accomplishments—no matter how small—and embracing your true, empowered self.
