Breaking Barriers: A Desi Woman’s Guide to Freedom and Fulfillment
🎙️ Global Desi Women welcomes a deeply moving and empowering conversation with Maneesha Ahluwalia, a remarkable woman who embodies courage, authenticity, and transformation. In this episode, your host Arti Solanki—real estate broker, business coach for women entrepreneurs, and author of Hindu Rituals—is joined by co-hosts Bhavana Shelley, a sharp and insightful business analyst, and Bhawna Luthra, a compassionate marriage and family therapist. Together, they explore the life journey of a woman who dared to walk away from societal expectations to embrace a path aligned with her inner truth.
Maneesha is The Life Coach for Indians who are done living for everyone else’s expectations. Formerly an infectious diseases physician, Maneesha made the bold choice to leave her medical career, end her marriage, and let go of the pursuit of motherhood—not in rebellion, but as an act of deep self-respect and alignment with her truest self. Her story isn't just about walking away—it's about stepping into something far more powerful: the life she was meant to live.
In this episode, we dive into: ✨ The emotional toll of living up to others’ expectations ✨ How coaching helped Maneesha reclaim her identity and joy ✨ The mindset shifts that changed her life ✨ The cultural weight of "success" in South Asian households ✨ Learning to say "no" and stop justifying every decision
Maneesha now helps others who feel stuck or overwhelmed by life decisions. Through her coaching practice, she empowers people—especially Indians—to stop second-guessing themselves and start building lives they don’t need to explain to anyone.
