Vasavi Kumar, Therapist + Visibility Coach, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 728, to reveal why speaking your truth out loud is the key to claiming self-worth and real freedom, and how daily mirror work, honest self-talk, and embracing your authentic voice can shift the trajectory of your life, relationships, and mental health.

Allow yourself to say the thing that is taking up space in your mind so that you can have a mind that actually is thriving and peaceful within." - Vasavi Kumar

EP144: Vasavi's Journey: Finding strength, balance and purpose through health In this episode, I'm joined by Vasavi, a determined and inspiring guest who has transformed her approach to health, fitness, and mindset. Her journey is a powerful mix of self-discovery, breaking limiting beliefs, and embracing both physical and mental well-being. Vasavi lives in Surrey UK but has a strong cultural connection to Sri Lanka where she and her family are from. I hear how her Tamil heritage has played a significant role in life and shares the highs and lows of her relationship with food, body image, and cultural expectations around weight. We discuss her early struggles with self-confidence, her experience with 75 Hard, and how she ultimately found a sustainable, empowering way to transform her body and mind. She also dives into the impact of fasting, how it connects to her fitness goals, and her dream of becoming a spin instructor who blends high-energy workouts with the music and culture of South India. Key Highlights: • Cultural influences on body image – How Vasavi navigated family and societal expectations about weight. • Discovering fasting and hormone-focused nutrition – Learning to work with her body instead of against it. • The power of movement – How pole fitness, running, and structured workouts helped her regain confidence. • The mental shifts that made the biggest difference – Overcoming self-doubt and embracing long-term change. • Her future in fitness – Training to become a spin instructor and how she plans to incorporate Sri Lankan and South Indian music into the industry.

Practice using verbal prompts to become the person you aspire to be. Vasavi Kumar, a well-known wellness influencer, recommends speaking out loud to achieve your goals.

It teaches you to pursue your ambitions with intention, focus, and compassion. Combat negative thoughts effectively by speaking them out loud!

In this episode Vas explains the importance of "saying it out loud" whether it is an intrusive thought or a desire & dream. We also talk about Hindu culture, spiritual connection, cultural appropriation, prostration and Vas's journey in making her the expert to birth this book. book preorder: vasavikumar.com/orderthebook sayitoutloudbook.com Vasavi Kumar is often described as the “Queen of Saying It Out Loud.” A first-generation Indian immigrant raised on Long Island, NY, Vasavi has relentlessly searched to find her own voice, access the freedom of her creative spirit, and help others along the way…out loud.When she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the age of 19, she made it her mission to understand how her mind works, starting with making room to hear herself think.

Today, I'm joined by the lovely Vasavi! Enjoy!   "Once you clear away your sh*t and you know who the F you are, you can now pay that forward to another person. I want people to clear themselves out, courageously pursue their dream, be the dream, live the dream, then help somebody else. What's the point of all this work if you're not going back to help those people?" In today's episode, we talk about: Healing from harsh parenting How you talk to yourself matters It's about how you say it, not what you say The first 2 steps to take to really lead your life Why you should live your life out loud and what that means And so much more! When I think about the ultimate reinvention queen, going from the conventional to completely UNconventional, I think of today's guest, Vasavi Kumar.    Vasavi has lived many lives. She grew up a first-generation Indian immigrant in a household with strict rules that expected her to follow a conservative life path like her parents (her mother was a cardiologist; her father an accountant).     She tried it out for a while, going to an Ivy League school, getting married to a traditional and conventional Hindu man, and becoming a therapist—all the South Asian ‘good girl' checks. But ultimately, Vasavi was a brown sheep, and never did things just because. From a young age, she wouldn't take no for an answer, and was always asking the question—why?   As she began asking herself why and questioning her own life—her marriage, her career, her likes and dislikes—everything changed. Following a divorce after 4 years of marriage, changing careers, a battle with drugs and alcohol, and refusing to be her family's scapegoat, Vasavi stepped into her power and became the impactful coach she is today (and a chef, and a stand-up comedian—she's seriously dabbled in it all!) As unique as her name, the cure for the common existence is Vasavi's inspiration. You are her mission. Let intrigue and passion meet you with a side dish of humor and intelligence in this powerful + juicy episode.   She is one of my dearest girlfriends and I'm so glad that you get to experience her again!

How many times have you caught yourself telling yourself that you're stupid, incompetent, or not worthy? My guest today is Vasavi Kumar, author of “Say It Out Loud: Using the Power of Your Voice to Listen to Your Deepest Thoughts and Courageously Pursue Your Dreams” In this powerful conversation, Vasavi and I unpack the ways in which we all talk to ourselves without really paying attention to what we're saying. Most of what we tell ourselves is negative, unhelpful, counterproductive, and straight up abusive. But as you will hear, it is your divine duty to learn how to love yourself exactly the way you need to be loved and become the person you want to be. Key Insights: How growing up in an Indian family affected her self-talk Naming the different parts of yourself How to get out of your head How to stop believing your own inner lies The power of small goals Silencing yourself is self-abandonment Bipolar disorder and depression Why our mind is not always an ally to our goals   Pre-Order Vasavi's new book “Say It Out Loud” here To connect with Vasavi Kumar, follow them on Instagram @mynameisvasavi   Connect with us!

In this episode of the I Heart My Life Show, we're talking about how to heal. I had the pleasure of interviewing my dear friend Vasavi Kumar who shares her story of addiction, recovery, and self-love. Vasavi's journey of self-discovery and healing is truly inspiring, and I am SO excited to share it with you. Growing up in a chaotic household, Vasavi experienced early exposure to therapy, which she credits as a key factor in her ability to heal and break the cycle of addiction and mental health issues in her family. In our conversation, Vasavi talks about her belief in the power of expressing emotions and listening...in fact, she's written a whole book on expressing yourself called "Say It Out Loud" which comes out this week. Her story is powerful, raw and real...she doesn't hold back! (Even admitting that after going to rehab for the second time, she had to Google "how do I love myself?"). Vasavi's stories demonstrate the power of self-love, vulnerability, and, just like most of our podcast guests, taking action toward your dreams. (She encourages listeners to find at least one thing every day that makes them feel amazing and to own who they are as a person.) If you want to hear more about Vasavi journey of self-discovery and healing, make sure to tune in to this episode of the I Heart My Life Show.

Those frustrations are holding you back from creating your present and your future.” “What are you telling yourself about the situation? That determines how you feel, how you behave, and how you respond.”“If we have a voice, it is our duty and our obligation to use it to stand up for ourselves and for others.”“Compassionate curiosity is all about the tone of voice that you use with yourself to foster openness.”“At the end of the day, we are always with ourselves. Whether you're surrounded by many people, or you live solo like I do…you must learn how to talk to yourself. I'm trying to encourage people to foster a safe space in their head.”“I encourage people to be honest with themselves about what is holding them back. You cannot move through your resistance if you continually lie to yourself.”“Confidence is not a feeling, it is a skill that can be developed by doing the very things that you don't believe you can do.”    Connect with Vasavi:⭐ Connect on Instagram:  @mynameisvasavi⭐ Website/New Book: https://www.vasavikumar.com/orderthebook Connect with Allison:⭐ Connect on Instagram @allisonwalsh⭐ JOIN OUR FREE COMMUNITY: https://www.facebook.com/groups/shebelievedshecouldcommunity⭐ Check out book recommendations from the show here⭐ Download your free 90 day planner here
