ABOUT
LEADERSHIP PARENTING
There’s more to being a loving parent and true leader
than just being the BOSS laying out rules and dangling bribes.
Leadership Parenting shows you that parenting is anything but control!
It’s about empowering and nurturing the innate wisdom and strength that’s already inside of them.
By honoring what a child needs practically, emotionally, and spiritually, Leadership Parenting draws upon the ancient Vedic philosophy of Bhakti Yoga to meet children where they are, using loving guidance, intentional connection, and timeless spiritual wisdom to tap into their unique potential.
When you learn to lead your children this way, you’ll soon discover that your child already has everything and so much more to thrive the way you know they’re meant to – whether that’s making friends at the playground, leading a team at school, handling conflict or thriving academically.
And as you guide them to this state, both you and your child become leaders in your own way!

I Was The Bossy Kid & Parent!
When I was about 9 years old, I vividly remember being captivated by the classic parenting book Adele Faber’s “How to Talk So Kids Will Listen & Listen So Kids Will Talk.”
I read the book cover to cover and then used it to “boss around” my mother, correcting her when she did something differently than what the book had suggested. (Yes, I was that child!)
Whenever my friends called me out for being bossy, I told myself it was a good thing —
“I have to be bossy because things need to be done right!”
When I became a parent and teacher, I thought I had it all figured out. I believed I knew exactly what they needed and expected them to follow my every instruction!
And when the children didn’t respond the way I wanted them to, I became reactive.
I ended up overusing time out in the classroom, and I became too controlling at home. I found myself yelling at my kids more than I wanted. And my conversations always ended up in tears, either the kids or mine.
Then when my eldest son became a teenager, he sat me down and had a brutally honest conversation with me.
He told me how disconnected and controlling I had been, even though I had the best possible intentions for my children and the kids I taught at school every day.
His words humbled me and opened my eyes in a way that I’ll forever be grateful for. It made me realize I had to find a better way if I really wanted to impact those I served.

Looking Back On My Childhood...
Growing up in a Hindu Brahmin family raised in a temple, meant starting our days meditating before sunrise, followed by studying Sanskrit verses before heading to school, a routine that shaped my childhood until I turned 18 years old.
Surrounded by a beautiful community of people who lived by the Bhakti principles, an ancient Vedic philosophy where every task of the day was offered in loving service to the Divine became ingrained in me.
As I began to reflect back on those days, I realized that the spiritual principles I learned in my childhood could be directly applied to the challenges I faced as a parent and educator.
The Brain Tumor
A couple of years later, I faced my toughest challenge when my son came home from school one day, saying he was having a hard time reading.
It turned out that it was a life-threatening brain tumor, and he needed emergency surgery right away! While he is hale and hearty and thriving now…the 6 nerve wracking hours I spent during the surgery, made me realize just how much other parents were suffering.
Because in those deepest darkest moments, I found peace and strength in my spiritual beliefs, in my mantras and meditation practice, and in the grounding principles of family leadership that I teach.
During the weeks in the hospital, I saw many other parents in such immense pain. And I realized that that was just one place, in one building, in one city… I knew there must be so many others.
I wanted to find a way to share my tools, ideas, and source of strength and comfort with more parents. And that’s why I created Leadership Parenting.
