In this deep dive conversation I connected with Sneha Rani Augustine founder of Happynut Tree, transformational therapist, former engineer and someone who has walked the long path from living by expectations to living in alignment with her authentic self.

Growing up in India, Sneha excelled in everything she did. She followed the path that was expected of her, built a successful corporate career and achieved what many would consider success. 

𝗬𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. 

Through trauma, healing, neurodivergence, spirituality and profound self-discovery, she found the courage to stop asking who the world wanted her to be and start asking who she truly was.

What struck me most is that this conversation was never really about leaving corporate or even about healing trauma. It was about remembering that home is not a place. Home is the relationship we build with ourselves.

Deep dive talking points:

👉🏾 Coming home to yourself: discovering that safety is something we can cultivate within instead of searching for outside ourselves;

👉🏾 Healing layer by layer: how trauma, integration and daily practice gradually reconnect us with who we have always been;

👉🏾 Reclaiming authenticity: stepping beyond expectations, labels and cultural conditioning to live life on your own terms;

👉🏾 Embracing every part of yourself: bringing together science, psychology, spirituality and lived experience instead of hiding parts of your identity;

👉🏾 Living from agency: accepting full responsibility for your own life while allowing others to walk their own path;

Empowering nuggets:

🙌🏾 Healing is rarely one breakthrough. It is the quiet practice of returning to yourself again and again;

🙌🏾 The parts of ourselves we once tried to hide often become the very qualities that allow us to serve others most deeply;

🙌🏾 Authenticity begins the moment we stop asking for permission to become who we already are;

In Sneha's words:

🙌🏾 "Home is about coming back to my center"

Books mentioned:

📚 Being You by Anil Seth: exploring consciousness and how our brains construct reality.

📚 The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk: understanding how trauma lives in the body and how healing becomes possible.

Perhaps coming home has never been about finding the right place. Perhaps it has always been about remembering the person you've been beneath the expectations, the fear and the conditioning.
