In this episode of Founder in the Chair, Veena speaks to Urvashi on her journey to self discovery and her journey to entrepreneurship which started accidentally. Urvashi didn’t have an entrepreneurial background and neither was it in her family but this ‘accident’ changed the trajectory of her life!

Meet Urvashi a Soul Purpose life coach, Numerologist, Sound Therapist, qualified Personal Trainer and award winning Podcaster for Brown Girl Rising. She is on a mission to help women break down the internal barriers they’ve created for themselves and step into their best life by letting go of the past, moving through pain and raising their personal frequency to be more aligned with the soul authentic self.

Today, she helps women attract and manifest their deepest desires (abundance of love, health and great relationships) into their life like she did…

But but journey to self wasn’t easy, she faced a huge sexual trauma at university which changed her life and made her step into a more unbalanced masculine version of her… leaving her with thousands in debt, an unhealthy relationship with food and alcohol and bulimia in her early 20’s… Which ultimately meant she remained single for most of her 20’s and 30’s even though her heart craved love and companionship.

It wasn’t until she was on the path of awakening and she started to uncover the love she had for herself, where she started moving her body, boxing, lifting, eating intuitively that her true feminine nature started to shine through. And her life changed for the better… It transpired that her numerological gift of 9 was the divine feminine and mastery of self… but she had no clue until she got her chart!

After really working on her love for self, claiming back her life from the trauma and embodying the power of the divine feminine…

Urvashi finally met her soul mate at the tender age of 43 and it all happened ‘quickly’ after the work she did … and just before her 44th birthday she moved in with him and became a step mum to 2 lovely children. (She now does the school run and has made an impact on the kids lives).

Today Urvashi impacts the lives of women across the world with her story of reclamation, becoming and self love to inspire women to find themselves , get unstuck, heal relationships and step into the most magnetic version of themselves through life coaching, health and fitness coaching and numerology.

She is also making an impact on the children around her and on children who are going through the process of their parents divorcing and meeting parents new partners by publishing a series of children’s story books over the next few years.
