Episode 9: Creating Legacies of Love with guest Uma Girish

In this episode of the podcast, Uma Girish shares her deeply moving journey through grief, transformation, and her path to finding purpose and meaning in life. Having moved from southern India to the United States in 2008, Uma's life took an unexpected turn when her mother was diagnosed with, and soon passed away from stage 4 breast cancer.

Uma discusses the significance of language, narrative shaping, and the power of sharing one's story for healing and transformation. She also touches upon the impact of Human Design on her life, offering insights into how it has provided her with a deeper understanding of her purpose and how she serves others. Uma's journey underscores the importance of navigating life with authenticity, and the continual process of becoming and embodying one's true self.
