Happy Turtling

Be random. Be real. Be kind. Be happy. Slowly, and steadily, pursue progress, over perfection.

Hi! I’m Vasudhaa, and I’m a "Transition Coach".?

I coach young adults by partnering with them as they identify or navigate:

• academic or career transitions;
• significant events or changes in their lives that could affect how they show up professionally

Our work often includes dealing with big life questions, finding clarity, making personal & professional choices, accepting circumstances, setting action points, and working towards achieving client-set goals.

I help my clients embrace change and take important decisions in their lives. I firmly believe in the philosophies that:

1. the earlier in our lives we own our decisions and make?conscious choices, the more fulfillment, and satisfaction we have in our lives, and?
2. empowered people empower others.

These philosophies form the foundations of my coaching practice.

I’m on a mission to help spread more happiness, and self-satisfaction in the world. This is my way of making the world a place where people feel more empowered about the direction of their lives.?

Get in touch with me to explore synergies and co-create a roadmap for moving forward in your life, career or business.

Who am I?

I am a dynamic person with over 5 years of professional experience which include:

• ?Entrepreneurship:?I’m a co-founder of?the platform, ILA for Placements (check it out?here), and?
• Corporate Law:?I used to work with Khaitan & Co. – one of India’s oldest and largest law firms.??

To know more about my professional background have a look at?my LinkedIn page.

Over the past 5 years, there have been several students and young working adults that I have had the privilege of supporting as they navigate their academic & career decisions.

This sparked my passion towards coaching which then crystallised as I set out on my own quest to harmonise my work with my true identity. It’s what I now see as my life’s higher purpose.

The Inspiration:

While sadness, stress, frustration,?confusion,?and hardship are but part of life, the resilience to face and manage them has gone down, especially over the past couple of years. The world around us today is characterized by an abundant construct of how -?

• we’re "just not good enough"
• we "just don’t have enough",?or
• we're "just not doing enough".

So what does everybody crave?

To be, to have, and to do, "enough".

I believe that the root of this lies in not knowing?what?we want,?why?we want it, and?what hurdles we really need to cross?in order to achieve it.?

Moreover, I believe that these feelings of “not enough”, usually arise when we find ourselves in a?transition phase or a circumstance that calls for us to?make?or?accept?an important?change?in our personal or professional lives.

Toxic positivity can do more harm than good.?

In order to be real, we must accept that we cannot be happy & content with our lives and choices all the time.?

In order to find happiness within us, we must first accept and allow ourselves to feel all our emotions - be it anger, sadness, frustration, or?loneliness. This helps us?delve deeper to explore ourselves and our circumstances?and understand the basis for them.?

With better insights about ourselves, and our situations, we make better decisions.

There is freedom and empowerment, in taking risks, forming our boundaries, and accepting the good, the bad and more importantly, the?imperfect.?

With this, we become more present as we experience our lives.

The Dream:

To develop a culture and community of self-acceptance – the biggest key to our collective happiness…

I will provide a space where you can feel safe to be curious about yourself, to grow at your speed and find ways to lead a more balanced and sustainable life, in order to?achieve simultaneous professional and personal growth.

So that we can feel, not just “enough”, but “fulfilled”.

What is this space for?

As a coach, an entrepreneur, and the author of Happy Turtling, I am also fighting daily battles, just like you are. I will use this space to:?

1. share my personal & professional journey as I evolve as a coach
2. provide information to current and prospective clients about my services
3. share resources to assist people through their change and transition journeys, and
4. showcase contributions from other community members

Happy Turtling is not about rainbows and butterflies but explores the rabbit holes we all find ourselves falling into every now and then.?

I believe sharing our vulnerabilities, reminds us that we are not alone and have so much to offer in support of each other. Through the process, you might also find ways to laugh in the hardest of times, because there is also healing in humour.
