  • PROSE-POETRY AS EMOTIONAL ARCHITECTURE: HEALING, IDENTITY, & BELONGING
    Mar 19 2026

    — "I want a second chance with you in a world
    where time is infinite boundaries will not divide religion will not win and loving you is not a sin."

    For Shuchi, writing has always been a form of healing — not in the sense that it erases pain, but that it gives pain meaning. Every poem is an attempt to understand a feeling more deeply, to honor it, and to transform it into something that might help someone else feel less alone.

    Through her bestselling books "You Belong With Me" and "Why Did You Let Me Go?", she has explored the full spectrum of love and loss. These works emerged from personal experiences, but they belong to everyone who has ever loved deeply, lost painfully, and found the courage to begin again.

    Valeria interviews Shuchi Batra — She is the author of "You Belong With Me , A Million Times Over and Why did you let me go?."

    Shuchi Batra is an internationally recognized prose-poetry author known for blending narrative and micro-poetry to explore themes of identity, belonging, healing, and emotional resilience. She has written over 1,000 poems and authored the bestselling book "You Belong With Me", a prose-poetry novel that guides readers through heartbreak, self-discovery, and inner wholeness. She has authored 2 more books: "A Million Times Over" and "Why did you let me go?".

    Elected Secretary of the Poetry Society of Virginia, Shuchi also serves as a literary judge and has been invited to speak and perform across literary platforms. Her work bridges cultural nuance and personal transformation, positioning poetry not as ornament, but as emotional architecture - a pathway toward integration, reflection, and healing. She was born in Delhi, India. At 17, she left home to pursue her education. She holds 3 degrees, including a CS engineering degree and 2 MBAs, and has worked in the fintech industry for over 11 years. Shuchi started writing poetry when she was just 8 years old. After losing her father at age 10, she coped with her emotions through poetry, diaries, and letters to God. She never imagined that her book- " You belong with me" that was written in the same format- in the form of diary writing will be loved by so many people across the world. She has been posting micro poems since 2021 and have 68k+ followers on Instagram and FB

  • Breaking Subconscious Patterns: A Path to Freedom
    Mar 19 2026

    — In a world where our experiences can challenge our sense of self-worth, it's essential to remember that we are inherently worthy just because we exist. Join Renée, the founder of True North Coaching and a dedicated trauma-informed guide, as she explores the journey of healing and growth.

    Together, we'll uncover how to create space for love, compassion, and authentic connections in our lives. True healing encompasses the mind, body, spirit, and soul, allowing us to develop a deeper relationship with ourselves. As we evolve, we invite more empowering energies into our existence.

    Discover how protective patterns that once kept you safe can lead you to your true self. Renée draws upon her expertise in neuroscience, timeline therapy, and emotional integration to guide you in gently dissolving unconscious patterns that shape your relationships and choices.

    Join us as we delve into the powerful topics of subconscious patterns, the missing link in healing, and the reflections our relationships provide about our inner world.

    So, get ready to embark on a journey toward freedom and transformation, where healing becomes evolution and your true self awaits!

    Valeria interviews Renée Guay — She is the author of "Why We Attract Narcissists: Three Steps to Freedom."

    Renée Guay is the founder of True North Coaching and a trauma-informed guide in emotional integration, subconscious patterning, and inner authority. Drawing from neuroscience, timeline therapy, neurolinguistic programming, nervous-system work, and lived experience, Renée guides others to recognize and gently dissolve the unconscious patterns shaping their relationships, choices, and sense of self.

    After healing from PTSD herself, Renée discovered that insight alone doesn't create lasting change, safety and integration does. Her work focuses on helping the body complete what it never had the chance to finish, allowing clarity, choice, and self-trust to return naturally.

    Known for her grounded compassion, and clarity, Renée brings conversations back to what truly creates freedom: integration, not fixing. Listeners leave feeling regulated, empowered, and equipped with simple tools they can use immediately.

    At the heart of her work is one guiding truth: when the nervous system feels safe, life reorganizes and freedom becomes possible. All conversations are grounded in nervous- system safety, emotional integration, and restoring choice.

  • How to Become the Person You Want to Be & Stay That Way
    Mar 19 2026

    — "Sustainable success isn't about big breakthroughs or dramatic changes—it's about the small, steady actions that keep you moving in the right direction. Daily Questions and self-reflection aren't just concepts; they're the habits that build a life of purpose, growth, and accountability. Whether you're leading a team, moving up in your career, or simply trying to be a better version of yourself, the key isn't just reaching your goals—it's keeping the momentum going. Keep measuring what matters, stay open to feedback, and surround yourself with the right people. That's permanence." — says Lisa.
