Description
“So how did you overcome chronic pain?”
People kept knocking at my door asking me for the magic recipe that led me to overcome chronic pain. I wrote about it in my book Becoming Untethered and still when potential clients came, navigating some kind of pain, I felt shame and heard my Dad, a medical surgeon, whisper in my ear: You are not a medical doctor. I sent those souls my book and looked in the other direction. “This is my map to transmuting pain, good luck”.
I only wanted to speak about ecstasy, bliss, peak states, quantum leaps and falling in love with your life. Because that was alive within me. And because I was still holding some shame around this zone of genius.
Until I crashed.
A minor event sent me back in a loop of deep spiritual pain. The dark night of the soul. And I remembered.
The only way out of pain is through it. And “The wound is the place the light enters you”, in Rumi’s words. My capacity to tap into bliss as a baseline is directly tied to my ability to alchemize pain, be it physical, emotional or spiritual into power. Working from the body up to the energy field.
That day, feeling like it was the end of the world, feeling trapped inside a body that could not see the light at the end of the tunnel and felt overwhelmed with grief, sadness and disempowerment, I remembered. All the times I wanted to escape my body. At first not to feel the physical pain. And then not to feel the spiritual pain. I remembered what it took to move to the other side, again and again, to become the person that can sustain bliss in and out of the meditation. I remembered the dark nights of the soul. And from that space, I knew. It is time for me to come out of the closet with the activation Pain Alchemy I’ve been keeping close to my heart and to an inner circle.

Becoming Untethered
“There has to be a better way.”
This is how this journey started. I’d like to think it started in 2019 when my body staged a revolt but in truth, it started long before then. I kept hitting the milestone and it was never enough. “When I achieve this, then I’ll be happy.” The goalpost kept on moving.
Early 2019, what started as a mild injury turned into months of chronic pain. And it came bearing gifts. After dozens of medical tests and months of sleepless nights, one doctor told me: Your only way out is through meditation, and forever changed my life.
Pain became the doorway to an initiation that had been long coming. A coming home to the Self, with capital S, that no outside achievement can ever give you.
On the afternoon of July 16th, I invite you to celebrate the birth of Becoming Untethered—a book that began with chronic pain and became a roadmap for anyone who has ever whispered: There has to be another way.
Becoming Untethered weaves my own unraveling—from a pianist forced off her path to a strategy consultant whose body staged a revolt and a biotech CEO who whispered, “I cannot stop or I will die”—and finally understood why.
Each chapter weaves my journey with the neuroscience that finally explains why you can’t just think your way out of pain and offers meditative practices rooted in the body that will hold you in the moments when you can’t seem to find a way out.
At its core, this book is a roadmap to transform pain—physical, chemical, emotional, spiritual—into love. A deeper love. An unconditional love that has been sitting within you all along.
