Hey, I’m Kanika…

And I love a good story!

I am genuinely interested in the faded memories of my parents’ friends, mesmerized by the corporate tales of the slightly buzzed business traveller at the airport bar, enamoured by the longwinded life story of the artist on the beach, and I am (probably far too) interested in the misadventures of my own life—the mountain tops, the valleys, and the rollercoasters in between.

To me, stories are a gateway to connection and a tool for understanding. They are the one thing we all share in common—and when we tell them well, we make meaning of our lives, individually and collectively.

So, I tell stories— in my newsletter, my blog, my podcast, on stages—to understand and make meaning of the lives we lead . . . and to remember that we’re all a lot more connected than we think.

Let these stories help you rewrite yours!

Hi Beautiful Reader,

Everything is always changing.

I’m so glad this site found you!

I reckon you’re a person of many dreams, who is yearning to live up to your full potential while embracing both the rainbows and the rain. You take life and all its lemons with a pinch of salt (and maybe a splash of tequila).

Think of me as your companion on your journey back home to you, your guide on your way to growth and self-belief, and the girl next door who shares with you learnings from the people she’s privileged to know and meet.

I’m a mom to two little girls who knows deeply that the best gift I can give them is the gift of my best self. And so through all my scars and brokenness, I strive to think, feel and live better everyday.

Most days, I’m a hot mess in mismatched socks, trying to answer deep-life questions while making sure no one’s eaten crayons.

Make yourself at home. Grab a coffee. Or wine. Or both, if it’s that kind of day and get comfortable, as there is a lot of encouragement for you to explore here. You have amazing potential within you and it is my prayer that I will help fuel you with the courage and confidence to cultivate it and to live life beautifully.

I have stories to tell, thoughts to share, and a perspective that I won’t dim anymore.

I’ve lived multiple lives in one. Law, film, entrepreneurship, theatre, writing, public speaking, coaching—each chapter shaped me, each pivot refined me. I’ve stood in boardrooms negotiating deals, sat in green rooms prepping for the spotlight, sat across a table mediating high stake conflicts, and spent nights unravelling thoughts onto paper, wondering if they were worth sharing. Turns out, I finally believe they are. And so, here we are.

I’m going to try to be raw, honest, and make you think. We’ll talk about the power of communication and leadership, ambition and self-worth, the quiet strength of reinvention, the weight of expectations, and the audacity to create a life that feels like yours. I love real conversations about the things that matter, and I’m inviting you into many of mine.

Some will stay, some will scroll past, some will watch silently. And for those who lean in, who resonate, who crave something deeper than surface-level noise—this is for you.

So, hey. Let’s begin.

This space is just getting started, and I’d love for you to be part of it. You may like to start with this.

Much Love,

Kanika
