Feeling exhausted and depleted and want to better access your signature strength, wisdom, and brilliance?
Longing to connect with other brave and purpose-driven mothers who want to own their ambition but do so on their own terms?
Looking to deepen your self-awareness, strengthen your self-belief, and lead and parent from this place of abundance, enoughness, and confidence.
Want to be a part of the solutions for the many problems our world is facing tbut are too burnt out to step outside of your work and caregiving responsibilities
Can you relate?
Ask for what you need from your boss, peers, direct reports, and family (including your kids) so you feel empowered, heard, and valued more often
Claim your authentic voice & ideas in your work, draw effective boundaries & prioritize with integrity so you are thriving more often than not
Detach from the shoulds of motherhood, leadership, & ambition and lean into what works best for you in the different seasons in your career & life
Define success, ambition, worthiness, & motherhood on your own terms & have the courage to make work & life decisions that align with your values
I believe all of this is possible for you when you make time and space to reflect, connect with yourself and others in a safe space, and do the inner work so you can have a greater impact on the outside in ways that matter to you. Doing this work isn't easy and changes don't happen overnight but is a lifelong practice of coming back to our own deep truths of inner knowing and enoughness.
Bring more joy, plan, and fun, and question our chronic hustle and grind culture to feel worthy, whole, and impactful
Unapologetically own your working motherhood identity and not feel guilty every time you are at work or at home
Use your voice, talent, and skills to contribute to taking action to be of service to “one” of the many problems in our world today
I am honored to be your guide on this journey with you!
"I was at the juncture in my life where a lot of my self-worth was associated with my career. Earlier this year, I chose to walk away from a cushioned job and a role that I had created for myself after years of hard work. With this decision came a lot of anxiety, and self-doubt that left me questioning my judgment about everything in life. Neha's invitation to join the BOLD LEADERSHIP for mothers program was that ray of hope I was looking for. The safe space she created for over three months was the routine I looked forward to every week. It connected me with a lot of mothers at different life stages spread across the globe which made me realize that our thoughts, feelings, and trade-offs were more similar than they were different. Neha's thoughtful facilitation during these sessions and her asking deep questions along with reflection via journaling allowed me to face a lot of my own complexes that were a result of years of social and cultural conditioning. Highly recommend being a part of this giving circle. You receive so much more than you can imagine going in!
Being a part of this program has been transformative. I built deep meaningful connections with this group of really strong women who will be my lifelong allies.

There will always be another countertop to wipe, a swim lesson the kids are late for, college application deadlines to contend with, laundry to be folded and one more email to send. Can we really find time and space to bring forth what is longing to be felt and expressed?
Yes. And this couldn’t be more important for ambitious and thoughtful mothers. We tell our children to seek a life of meaning, purpose, creativity, self-expression, and service. We need to model what we hope for them to achieve as adults so they have the freedom, courage, love, and space to find their own path on this beautiful journey called life.
I love Kevin Cashman's definition of leadership:
Authentic self-expression that creates value.
Yet, we live in a world where leadership is defined largely by the grandiosity of our metrics regardless of the value -- the size of the team, the title on the Linkedin profiles. Yes, many people in positions of formal authority operate as leaders and are doing some incredible work. But, that is a very limiting view of leadership and there are so many leaders out there who are not calling themselves leaders, yet.
Many of them are viewing their leadership only by what happens within the constraints of their formal responsibilities (I am a Director of Marketing or CFO at this organization) vs. truly celebrating and nurturing who they are in all that they do and the impact they are having. It may be in the way they support their direct report to find a meaningful opportunity at a different organization, the choice of books that they are reading to their kids, the monthly volunteering project they do as a family or the decision to spend a Sunday morning joining the march for women’s rights.
As we look to the future, we know we need more of these stories. The pandemic & everything that came over these last few years has shown us how much is not working about our world the way it exists today. I’d like to invite you to take a bolder stand for yourself, step into your full power, & share your voice, gifts, and ideas because the world needs you. I’d encourage you to call yourself a leader because you matter, your voice and work matter and collectively we can design a world where we are all proud to live.
It is quite rare to be in a program where there is a goal but no formal instructions, an empty space that makes room for expression, unlearning, and relearning, where your hands are held together in solidarity but not to lead you to a predecided place but one where you find the answers for yourself. A space where there is a diverse group of people living different lives across geographies and cultures but uplifting each other in a safe space.
BOLD Leadership for BRAVE Mothers was this powerful, transformative journey.
This program helped me clarify my own path. I learned to practice contentment on my journey, and identify my triggers to be a more skilful leader in my life.
The biggest gift was the safety and warmth in our space where we all co-created our shared experience and one where I had space to bring forth my unfiltered self, express my vulnerability and mistakes, and learn and grow together in community.
I learned tools to own my power, celebrate my confidence and be a more skilfull leader in my life.

This program was incredibly transformative and I achieved this amazing clarity of thoughts and that the answers to all of my questions and doubts lie within me. Neha created this beautiful safe space for me and all the other women from around the globe and it was really insightful to know that we women were navigating so many similar challenges regardless of our career or life journeys.
Women leaders deserve more spaces like these where we can learn and grow in community. I truly believe if there were more such opportunities women would be more confident in their own abilities to lead both in the workplace and at home.
I really loved the time I spent exploring different topics and the visualizations were my favorite activity. I would have never imagined that something as simple as closing your eyes for a few minutes and imagining a scenario would bring up such incredible answers from within. It was unbelievable and I really, really enjoyed it.
When I joined, I really didnt know what to expect as I hadn’t done anything like this before and now look forward to being a part of future cohorts. It was so hugely impactful.
Spaces like these enable women to be more confident in their own abilities to lead both in the workplace and at home.

This program gave me permission to own my ambition and own my path as an entrepreneur after walking away from a stable career. This program gave me the opportunity to move through parenting with more purpose, intention, and integrity. It allowed me to get more practice sharing my voice in a bold and truthful way, without worrying about how others perceive me. It gave me permission to make space for myself in my life, quieting the internalized shame stories around this. It helped guide me through a transition during which I most definitely needed guidance and support. Finally, it was powerful to hear others’ stories and recognize how similar we all are while being so different. It helped lift the frequency of my day-to-day life both in my career and at home. I felt so seen and safe and will always treasure this amazing space we co-created together.

I loved the dedicated time to slow down, reflect, and learn. It's incredible how much you can unlock with even 5-10 minutes of quiet reflection. The content and themes always seemed to be just what I needed, went beyond the standard “women in leadership” topics, and provided excellent opportunities for continued reflection throughout the week. For example, I've always considered boundaries to be walls I put up to keep people out. Hearing a fellow participant describe boundaries as a way to create a cocoon of safety so that she could show up as her best was a nugget I will carry with me forever going forward.
There is tremendous power in learning from others, and Neha has done an incredible job harnessing this power in her "Bold Leadership for Brave Mothers" program. Neha has a gift for introducing meaningful, thought-provoking topics that speak directly to ambitious mothers across the globe, and then creating the space for both individual and group exploration. I am grateful for the empowering insights that were uncovered as a result of this program.

I am a executive coach and possibility partner for leaders who aspire to bring forth their authentic voice in their work and lead with their values, power, and brilliance without burning themselves out in the process.
I’m also a certified yoga teacher and have led numerous yoga and meditation classes and retreats. I’ve also completed an Engineering degree, and an MBA in sustainable management and have 15+ years of experience in the corporate world with a focus on developing and launching new products. So, I understand the pulled-apart feeling of trying to balance work and home, rush and quiet, creation and contemplation. I coach busy, thoughtful humans to claim their own leadership power (regardless of their job description or title!) and find fulfillment through contribution, self-expression, and meaning in small and big ways.
Neha is a thorough, passionate, and knowledgeable coach. She is also super fun to work with! Through this program, I learned to give myself permission to relax and ask for help and the power of setting up boundaries both at work and at home. I learned to prioritize my own joy and take better care of myself which ultimately makes me a better leader both at work and at home. I am inspired to encourage my kids to volunteer and contribute to the many problems in the world. This was an excellent learning experience and was an absolute pleasure to be a part of this program. I highly recommend this program
