In this episode Vas explains the importance of "saying it out loud" whether it is an intrusive thought or a desire & dream. We also talk about Hindu culture, spiritual connection, cultural appropriation, prostration and Vas's journey in making her the expert to birth this book.
Vasavi Kumar is often described as the “Queen of Saying It Out Loud.” A first-generation Indian immigrant raised on Long Island, NY, Vasavi has relentlessly searched to find her own voice, access the freedom of her creative spirit, and help others along the way…out loud.
When she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 19, she made it her mission to understand how her mind works, starting with making room to hear herself think. Her mission is to share the fullness of the human experience — the good, bad, and ugly — in order to teach a more mindful, practical, and simple way of creating every aspect of your life. Through her Say It Out Loud podcast, workshops, keynote talks, group programs, social media, and weekly email newsletters, Vasavi has taught thousands of entrepreneurs, creatives, and artists from all walks of life how to move through any situation — by saying it out loud. Vasavi is a TV host, Licensed Therapist, Speaker, Voiceover Artist, and Creator of the BOLD VOICE training program. She holds dual Masters degrees in Special Education from Hofstra University and Social Work from Columbia University.
