GOD called, GAY is the way!
Gay means happy, but there was a time in the not so distant past that gay meant marginalized, in the closet, and worst of all shame.

Why i Hate Yoga
Being born and raised in India, I was exposed to yoga at an early age and surrounded by the practice of it as a part of our culture. The modern western concept of yoga differs from my own experience. Instead of an association with calm, soothing music or the cleansing smell of incense, mine revolves around the hurt, shame, and guilt for feeling too fat, too loud, and too ambitious. My yoga practice began as a 9 year old, under the pressure of my parents who insisted I needed

Why i Felt Like a Fraud
I was recently honoured to be awarded as one of the prestigious recipients of RBC’s Top 25 Canadian Immigrants for 2019. Amazing right?! It was an eventful day spent with 24 other deserving winners from all over Canada, each one of us working in a variety of fields that contribute to making our communities and the world in general, an even greater place to be. As I sat listening to the other winners accept their award, I could not help but hear a small voice of doubt and ins

Introducing the Sexy Brilliant™️ Empowerment Cards
Are you feeling a little low lately? Me too! You know what? That is okay. No matter who we are we all go through periods where we feel less than our best. Feeling happy, confident, and sexy every single moment of the day takes a lot of mindfulness. Without lows, we could never appreciate the highs. Everything in life is cyclical, including emotions, and emotions are never right or wrong they simply exist. When I need a spiritual pick me up I turn inward and reflect on what ha

Why i LOVE Hate Messages!
The number of #hatemessages I receive has gone up - a LOT! Whenever a woman becomes LOUD, empowered, or outspoken she is perceived as a threat, because a woman who knows, accepts, and loves herself is rather POWERFUL. I received the following comment by email: "You are fat, yet you are very sexy? If you are interested in performing live sex-cam shows I can help you make a lot of money." he said. I laughed, a LOT! This message was the highlight of my day; it actually helped m

How to Make Money Your New BFF!
Let’s face it - we all need money! It is not possible to survive as human beings in the modern world without money. While there is a lot of talk about how to make money and how to invest money, very little time is spent talking about the beliefs we have about money collectively and individually. Money is an energy, and spending money is exchanging energy. Many of our ideologies regarding money come from ideas, and even superstitions we have learned from family, friends, and o

Divorce Just Got a Little Bit Easier! Introducing The SEXY BRILLIANT ™️ Heartbreak Process!
After my arranged marriage ended it took a lot of self-work to get back into the world of dating and relationships. Like yourself, I have gone through my fair share of heartbreaks. I know how tough ending a relationship can be. A break up is one of the hardest events we go through in life. A few years ago I went through the worst break up I have ever had! After doing a lot of personal development work after my divorce I had a long term romance with someone who I thought was t

Mental Health is not a choice, compassion is!
Just the other day a woman in my neighborhood jumped from her 9th-floor balcony, taking her life, and leaving behind 3 toddlers. Everyone was shocked - it was a traumatic experience that affected the whole community! Her tragic death made it to the local newspaper. In the following days, I got a lot of messages on Facebook asking me if I knew this person and what had happened. One message that stood out to me was from a man in the neighborhood. He said, "How could she do this

Is networking the new arranged marriage?
If you have been following along the Sexy Brilliant journey, you may have heard me mention that I am divorced but what many of you may not know is that my husband was chosen for me - yes, you heard right - I was in a traditional marriage! Arranged marriages are fairly common in India. In fact, my parents' 35-year long relationship is the result of an arranged marriage. The families met through common friends and decided to turn the meeting into a matrimonial alliance. My pare

Traveling Alone as a Single Woman is Empowering
I grew up believing that I could not travel alone. I thought that traveling was something you did with your significant other, family or friends. It was instilled in me by friends, family, and the news that that traveling alone was dangerous. As an Indian woman, this fear was ever present in my mind because of the number of violent attacks, assaults, and rapes that happen in India every year. India is considered to be the most dangerous country in the world for violent crimes

Depression is a Gift!
Many people believe that if a person has mental health issues they are unemployable, unstable, unlovable, and a burden on society! I completely disagree with this sentiment! By age forty 50% of the population has been affected by a mental health issue.* It could be your father, your sister, your best friend, your co-worker, or the person sitting next to you on the bus. Mental health issues affect people from all walks of life. Far too many of these people suffer in silence. I

We Are Never Too Old To Learn Something New!
As I recently discussed on a Facebook Live video, which you can check out here, I signed up for a class to learn a new language. I enrolled in the class because I love learning new things. In particular, I really enjoy learning new languages. As you might have noticed on my videos I speak English, French, Hindi, Punjabi, Assamese, Urdu, and am actively learning Spanish and Japanese. The more languages we speak the more people we can connect with. Connecting with people, learn

Hairy Armpits: Fad or Fabulous?
I recently saw an ad online for a deodorant. Pretty common - right? This ad was anything but. It featured armpits in every form imaginable. Skinny armpits, fat armpits, muscular armpits, shaved armpits, hairy armpits, even gender-neutral armpits. Every possible type of armpit was represented and celebrated here. Something that really caught my eye about this ad was that it included a man with shaved armpits and a woman with hairy armpits. I have never seen another ad feature

EVERY Body is a Bikini Body
I have put in a lot of weight in the last year due to overcoming depression and often I am very body conscious but wittingly I know that ... every body is a bikini body! A few weeks ago I was traveling when I woke up to a stunning sunny morning, I could hear the surf through my window and as I breathed in the glorious island air, I felt the joy of the day ahead fill my heart. I laughed with delight at the thought of jumping into the ocean, already beginning my 100 laughs a da
