This week, I’m so excited to be in conversation with the inspiring Vasavi Kumar.

Vasavi holds dual master’s degrees in Special Education from Hofstra University and Social Work from Columbia University. She’s the Former Co-Host of Studio 512, a lifestyle and entertainment morning show in Austin, TX. She was featured in The Wall Street Journal, FOX, VH1, and was a regular on NBC’s Kansas City Live as the “Keepin’ It Real Guru.”

Vasavi pushed past the barriers of her youth and built her six-figure business as a Coach and Licensed Therapist. Her mission is to share everything—the good, bad, and ugly—in order to teach a more mindful, practical, and simple way of running every aspect of your life.

Through her Say It Out Loud podcast, workshops, keynote talks, group programs, social media, and weekly email newsletters, Vasavi has taught thousands of entrepreneurs, creatives, and artists from all walks of life how to move through any situation—by saying it out loud.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

What a childhood trip to India with her parents taught her about suffering at a very young age
Normalizing conversations around mental health and how she approached her bipolar disorder with curiosity and compassion
The way she connects the dots between mental health, entrepreneurship, and creativity
Her new book, Say It Out Loud, and how it can help you learn to love yourself
Her current favorites: Book: Conversations with God, Speaker: Lisa Nichols, and Podcast: The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan
