In this episode, Shridhevi discusses how she went from a job she "hated" as she bluntly put it to one she loves and finds fulfillment doing.

Growing up in India, it was assumed she would be an architect or engineer. Although it was not where her heart was, she became an architect because she didn't want to disappoint her father. After his passing, she listened to her heart and walked away from her 10-year career to go back to school to earn her master's degree in developmental psychology.

She furthered her education by becoming a special education teacher and then a behavior analyst working with neurodivergent children. Although she loved working with her students, the limited resources in public education coupled with her recognition of how she could better serve this population of children prompted her to begin working with the parents of her students; specifically the mothers.

Although she continues to work with neurodivergent children, she approaches her work in a new way. She values connecting with the whole family and learning about their values and needs. She works with the mothers giving them tools to help them navigate their role as mom of a special needs child while also prioritizing their own mental and physical well-being.

Her vision is to guide individuals on focusing on their strengths to reach their fullest potential while staying true to their authentic selves—empowering them to truly be who they are.
