About Me
Philosophy About Belong to yourself( BTY)
When we belong to ourselves we empower ourselves we make ways for ourselves by creating new Paths for ourselves. We are less dependent, especially emotionally we are independent.
We don’t expect from others nor do we live with others’ expectations, we believe in ourselves, and we draw healthy boundaries in relationships. And that is a reason we have better relationships when we belong to ourselves.
You are self-sufficient. You don’t try to fit in to be accepted by others and that is the reason you don’t change yourself to please others or to impress others. You bring changes in you for your development, when you feel it’s going to be helping you and those around you in your relationships.
you are much more self-aware because you are connected more within and less with the outside world.
You continue to remain Authentic to yourself and others, it no where means arrogance or being self-centred and shedding away people and relationships from your life.
Being alone does not scare you, you are capable of fulfilling your wishes and needs.
By your means you bring love and care to yourself, you are not in any relationship bcoz of needs.
You are detached from longing to be with others and to be taken care of by others.
You enjoy Solitude as a means for your development, it doesn’t make you feel lonely
My Professional Journey till 2022
I come with 27 years of work experience in the corporate world (Mumbai-based). The first work experience lasted for a year and a half. (service industry) Second work experience for almost 5.5 years. (coaching/ service/ Retail)
And the third work experience lasted for two decades (20 years till 2022 in Retail) and was associated with the same organisation in a senior leadership role in HR and as a core team member. I have gained a deep domain understanding of Indian corporate workplaces and overall employee management. Have had the privilege to birth, develop, and nurture the HR department with them by creating a Legacy of a strong foundation through my dedication and devotion.
Have walked the journey from 450 employees to almost 4500 employees, it was a marriage. Have been a contributor to the company‘s major business Expansion. Having worked closely with the respected Founder and the prestigious team, I understand the delicacy of emotions and the many struggles faced by Employers and Employees in workplaces and personal lives.
Being an employee, a policy maker along with my psychological knowledge and perspective i do understand the mindset and mental blocks or acceptance towards any policy by the creator and the follower. My strength is decision-making ability, being opinionated, creating policies, management, nurturing and knowing the many WHYs of human behavior. Work continues to be my first passion, it has remained unchanged over the years.
Foundation and New Beginnings in 2023
My brand Belong to Yourself (BTY). My brand name is just not my philosophy i live by it in every sense, personal and professional. I’ve always been a people person, both by nature and profession. This quality helped me start a new journey in 2023. I’m ready to unlearn and relearn, tap into my hidden potential, and uplift others, especially women, along the way. I have a strong and bold identity but also a nurturing side. I’ve positively impacted many lives during my two-decade journey as a role model, fulfilling my motherly instincts.
I’ve grown stronger from who I thought I was and have fearlessly thrived in a man’s world. Although it took more than half a life to understand this. Such a beautiful, gracious, liberating feeling it is, which needs to be felt and embraced. My purpose is to bring more awareness towards this philosophy by supporting people to have a better relationship with themselves. I’m a deep thinker, emotionally aware of the meaning of pain, and I work towards healing others through various methods. My work isn’t just a passion; it’s my love and philosophy. My brand name is like my child, which I continue to nurture and develop.
In our busy lives, we often lose touch with our true selves while trying to manage our relationships with others. Belong to Yourself explores a holistic approach to reconnecting with our authentic selves. It’s about breaking down barriers, challenging our own limiting beliefs, and letting go of the need for validation from others. It’s a path less traveled one that can lead you to a life full of strength.
Remember, no one else has lived your life or walked your unique path. It’s about taking control of your own life with confidence, in doing so you not only improve your journey but also inspire others to love and accept themselves It’s a journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, self-love, Self-care, and self-esteem, it’s all to do with “self”, so how can anybody else outside you make you feel good?
Empowerment isn’t about exerting control or power over others; it’s about cultivating one’s strength and autonomy. We grapple with our share of self-doubt, anxiety, fears, and even depression. We are not superhuman; we are human, marked by vulnerability and imperfections.
Yet, this is where your true power emerges. You possess the remarkable ability to transform pain into power. Despite these trials, you navigate your course with unwavering confidence. You hold the choice: to forge a new path, despite its difficulties, or to become the architect of a path not just for yourself but for others to follow one day. You are not reliant on the support or sympathy of others, not even from those closest to you. Your strength resides within, independently forged through your experiences and your indomitable spirit. Here you don’t have it all but with what you have you create it all by moving ahead.
You are harmonious in your relationships with others, it is not ego, but it is being self-sufficient in your way by knowing having less does not make you feel less of yourself. You may not be capable but you work in making yourself capable. Empowerment isn’t just a buzzword; it’s a journey. It’s about realizing your potential, taking control of your life, and creating positive change. The ripple effects go beyond personal growth, impacting the economy, innovation, social harmony, and human development. So, remember, it all starts with believing in yourself.
New beginnings after a roller coaster journey with the corporate world. The year 2023 was one of the most fulfilling years as a professional. I returned to my practice as a full-time (certified) Psychotherapist and REBT Practitioner (Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy). This is where as a Founder I conceptualized the true essence of my philosophy “Belong To Yourself” by presenting it officially by playing many different roles to reach maximum people. The mission statement of BTY is Empower, Inspire, and Uplift, and all my work revolves around it.
I have shared my philosophy combined with my wisdom by presenting many videos as a YOUTUBER, and have been vocal about my self-expression and I urge others to do so.
As a Digital Writer, have been consistently active on social media with a daily post about life experiences, dealing with pain, relationships, leadership, and the importance of employees’ emotions in the workplace, etc.
I also had this amazing experience of sharing my views and thoughts as an Expert with the opportunities that came to me from respected media portals that had insightful articles of my opinion as an REBT Practitioner.
Media portals – Hautterfly, Sugar Mint, CXO Today, Hello Entrepreneur, Midday, News 18, and Times XP.
Some of the Subjects covered were,
- Benefits of building a diverse and truly Inclusive Workplace.
