About Me
Poetic Becoming is an evolving reflection of my own journey - one shaped by transformation, poetry and the search for meaning.
I grew up in India, in a middle-class family, with a "Master Plan" for my life: become an engineer, secure a good job, start a family — the typical roadmap. But as life often does, it threw me off course. The planner plans, but destiny rewrites the script, and my life took unexpected turns.
For most of my life, I worked with machines and systems, but I had little interest in understanding human nature. That was until a chance encounter with a book at Munich airport in early 2020 — Surrounded by Idiots — sparked a profound shift. It was my entry point into the world of psychology and self-awareness. From there, I immersed myself in the study of personality types, diving into Myers-Briggs, the Enneagram, and beyond, discovering a new passion for the human psyche.
Around the same time, I was introduced to Vipassana meditation, a life-changing experience that radically altered my perspective. I was drawn to the spiritual path with an intensity that felt almost like an awakening, and like a pendulum, I swung to the opposite extreme. I wanted to live in a monastery, completely detach from "normal" life. I left my job, my home, and embraced a nomadic existence, seeking deeper answers.
But, as with all things, the pendulum swung back again. I returned to ground reality, recognizing the importance of integrating my spiritual experiences into everyday life. When I returned to daily life after my nomadic phase, I found myself pondering my professional future. Returning to the industry didn’t feel like the path I was meant to take. I knew I needed something more — a way to bring my truest self to life, to serve others in a deeper way, and to help guide others on their own journeys.
It was during this time of searching that a series of connected events led me to integral coaching. I didn’t actively seek it out — it was as though the universe, in its mysterious wisdom, heard my longing to become and gently nudged me in that direction.
Through the guidance of my own coach, I got in touch with my inner poet. At first, I was hesitant, unsure of how I, an engineer could write poetry. But soon, I discovered an inner poet within me, one who had been inside all along but dormant, waiting to be revived.
And thus, my next chapter began. It was here, in the intersection of coaching and poetry, that I found the foundation for what would become Poetic Becoming — a space where transformation is not only nurtured, but celebrated as an ongoing journey of self-discovery.
Through coaching, poetry, and continued spiritual integration, I learned how to help others not only unlock their potential but also embrace the fluidity of their becoming.
Poetic Becoming is, for me, a reminder that transformation is a lifelong journey, not a destination. It is a call to embrace the beautiful mess of becoming, and to live in the process, not the perfect result.
