Some of the best lessons in leadership, empathy, and awareness don’t come from work – they come from the people who know us beyond our titles.
For me, it’s my sister.
Our conversations move from books and healing to courage, gratitude, and shaping the next generation with consciousness.
It reminded me – growth is not just professional, it’s deeply personal.
What Do Sisters Talk About?
This can’t be covered in a single post. I’ll share more in my upcoming blog once it’s live, but here are a few things that might resonate with many of you.
All through our childhood, we fought a lot – as most siblings do. But somewhere along the way, without me realising it, she became my pillar of strength. And yes, she’s the younger one.
She began her journey toward awareness first, and it’s the very book she forgot that became the one I started mine with.
Now, our conversations flow from books and healing sessions to growing awareness, reflections on the past, and how we now see those experiences through the lens of consciousness we continue to build together.
We talk about what helps us overcome fears, the small and big things we do to heal, and even the joy of our new Instagram page we’re currently enjoying.
My sister knows the energy I carry to fight for what I believe in – and she often helps me align it toward causes truly worth my time and heart.
We often let people deal with their own karmas, but once in a while, we decide to take them head-on – together.
Amid all these serious discussions, we often burst into laughter when my little niece picks up the call on another device, insisting on joining in.
I rarely feel work and life are two separate things. What truly matters is what we are made of – and from where we operate – in both. Whatever we do today becomes a guideline for the next generation; whatever we leave unresolved becomes theirs to solve.
At work, you might have “lessons learned” sessions – we sisters have our own versions, drawn straight from life. And how beautiful it feels to pass those reflections to the mini version of us.
I still remember a late-night chat with my eight-year-old niece this year, when she was struggling with jet lag during her visit to India. As we talked, I found myself answering her innocent questions through my childhood experiences – realising how life quietly comes full circle in these small, tender moments.
Teaching her the power of prayer, the strength that comes from self-belief and self-acceptance, and how gratitude enriches every experience – reminding her never to shrink herself just to be accepted by others, and to use her voice to express herself fully and authentically – all of this feels sacred. And as we share these lessons, they serve as gentle reminders to us too.
Our talks may begin as sisterly chats, but they always end as lessons in empathy, awareness, and the quiet leadership of simply being human – together.
