She helps high-achievers overcome self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and people-pleasing behaviors to lead more fulfilling personal and professional lives.

She holds certifications in life coaching, wellness, high-performance coaching, and conscious parenting. Kamini’s unique approach helps her clients achieve personal and professional fulfillment. In our discussion, we explore the impact of imposter syndrome and how it stems from feelings of "not being enough" or "not deserving." Kamini provides practical strategies for recognizing and addressing these feelings by reconnecting with your core self and values. We also discuss self-sabotage as a form of self-protection and how to break free from it.  Key Takeaways: Imposter syndrome often originates from limiting beliefs of not being good enough or deserving of success.
