My Story
The journey from a girl in Raipur to a certified women\'s life coach and author.
Early years
A girl raised between two stories
Lavya grew up in Chhattisgarh, watching the women in her family quietly hold entire households together. From very early on, she was asking a question she wouldn't fully name for another twenty years: what would it look like for a woman to belong to herself first?
2000s
Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya
She studied at Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya, Indore — a university named after one of the Indian subcontinent's most iconic women leaders. She didn't know yet how much of that lineage would shape her work.
The turning point
The quiet crack that became a calling
The exact moment isn't dramatic — most women's turning points aren't. It was an ordinary week of juggling, shrinking, apologising. And one unmistakable thought: this cannot be all of it.
2018
Becoming a coach
She began coaching women — first informally, then formally, then relentlessly. Seven years, five hundred clients, and a thousand late-night WhatsApp voice notes later, her method had a name: Power Moves.
2024
Two books in one year
The Parenting Pledge and 24K Values landed in readers' hands within months of each other. The response was immediate and emotional — suddenly, the work had a shape you could hold.
Today
One story at a time
Lavya writes, speaks, and coaches from Raipur — serving women across India and, increasingly, the diaspora. Three more books are in progress. The mission remains: empowering the heart of the home, one story at a time.
