Meet Anshita Sharma , a distinguished author of the acclaimed book “Shine n Inspire”, a passionate social activist, and a leading psychological wellbeing coach, healer, meditation teacher, and therapist.

She is the Founder and CEO of Illuminating Paths & Nurturing Souls Pvt. Ltd., an organization committed to holistic healing and empowerment. Driven by a sincere desire to create meaningful impact, Anshita joined the “Awakening Revolution” to inspire individuals to embrace habits that foster happiness and a fulfilling life. Her dynamic presence extends to multiple roles—motivational speaker, Past Life Regression and Inner Child Integration Therapist, Aura Reader, Reiki Practitioner, YouTuber, Podcaster, Host, Blogger, and Corporate Wellbeing Coach. She is a certified expert in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and specializes in managing depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and phobias. During her interview with Ms Venture, she says about her challenges-” I’ve always had a deep passion for personal growth and helping others unlock their true potential. My journey has been shaped by years of exploration, learning, and immersing myself in programs focused on energy, healing, mindset, and leadership. What truly inspired me to pursue this field was witnessing how many people struggle with self-doubt and a lack of confidence. I felt compelled to offer practical tools, encouragement, and guidance to help others break free from their limitations. Shine n Inspire became the platform where I could share my experiences and insights, with the goal of empowering others to overcome their challenges and embrace their fullest potential. 

The most significant challenge I’ve faced has been overcoming my own moments of self-doubt. As an author and coach, there are always voices that question your worthiness or your message. I addressed this challenge by leaning into vulnerability and embracing the discomfort of growth. I turned to meditation, journaling, and supportive mentors to help me rediscover my confidence and stay aligned with my purpose. The key was remembering that our struggles are often the seeds for our greatest growth. Staying inspired is a continuous process for me. I make it a point to stay connected to my “why” - the reason I started this work in the first place. Regularly reading inspirational books, attending seminars, and surrounding myself with a supportive community keeps me charged. Additionally, I take time to disconnect and recharge so I don’t burn out. Self-care is essential in maintaining my energy and motivation. And I always celebrate small wins to keep the momentum going!

Finding balance is an ongoing challenge, but I make it a priority by setting clear boundaries. I schedule time for both work and personal activities, ensuring that my loved ones and personal well-being don’t get overshadowed. I’ve learned that being present in each moment - whether I’m working or spending time with family - is key. Mindfulness practices have been helpful in managing the demands of both work and personal life.”

She also shares about her inspiration-” Yes, I’ve been fortunate to be inspired by several mentors throughout my journey, but the most profound influence on my career has come from aligning myself with the teachings of my Guru, Paramhansa Yogananda. It was through his guidance that I experienced a life-changing shift, embracing the path of living consciously and with purpose. His teachings revealed to me the transformative power of mindset and the profound truth that true change begins from within. Yogananda’s wisdom empowered me to understand that we each hold the ability to shape our own destinies, and that our external world is merely a reflection of our inner state. This realization ignited my passion to continuously work on my inner self, knowing that the journey to transformation starts from within.”
