Coming soon: Being Fully Me. The Podcast from author and Spiritual Mentor, Uma Girish.

About Being Fully Me:

Stories from my life. Mistakes and failures, gains and losses, laced with the life lessons and wisdom I've gleaned from living it all. My podcast is a collection of personal shares about what I've struggled through and learned from. My soul has been shaped by these experiences. I am who I am because of the life I have lived.

The first episode of Being Fully Me is dedicated to fond memories of my paternal grandmother whom I call Thaathi. You'll hear me share about:

• why she's at the center of my vivid childhood memories
• how she shaped my creative abilities
• how significant her death was in me living my purpose

This is my way of saying a giant thank-you to my beloved grandma who didn't live to see all that I continue to create.

In Part 1 of this episode, I share how my writing journey began as an innocent love for words. I couldn't have mapped this journey. I didn't have a word for it back then, but I know now that "trust" guided the way.

• my father's encouragement and why it meant so much
• the special "high" of seeing my name in print
• a decade-long career in advertising
• my stint as a freelance writer and the success I enjoyed
• how a Booker Prize winner's words served as magic fuel
