Welcome to Satya Creates, a newsletter dedicated to exploring personal and career development through self-coaching tools, insights, and real-world stories. Rooted in the Sanskrit word for “truth,” Satya Creates is a space where I share lessons from my own dynamic career journey, major life transitions, and deep commitment to helping others align their work and lives with their authentic selves.
I believe that true fulfillment comes from embracing who we are at our core—our values, passions, and purpose—and using that clarity to shape our careers and lives. Through my writing, I aim to provide thought-provoking perspectives, actionable strategies, and inspiration to help you navigate your path with confidence, authenticity, and fulfillment.
More About Me (Professionally & Personally):
I have always been writing in journals since I was a child but started writing online in 2020 in the thick of the pandemic, first on social media and later for blogs. I joined the On Deck Writers Fellowship in 2021 and this newsletter was my capstone project after the 8 week program. Read more about the beginnings of this newsletter in my first issue, The Origin Story of Satya Creates.
I've served as a trusted advisor and coach to founders, senior executives, managers and employees since 2010. In that time, I've also led innovative learning programs at well known high growth tech startups, led global teams, and provided coaching services that have helped 1000s of people worldwide manage their careers, become better leaders, develop their skills, navigate challenging work/life situations, and pursue work that is meaningful and in alignment with their lives.
My early career was in the social impact and education space where I worked as a mental health counselor, leadership program manager for young women of color, NYC public high school teacher, and higher education professional.
I was born and raised in Ohio and studied Psychology @ "the" Ohio State University and moved to NYC for grad school at New York University to study Counseling. My background in mental health coupled with being a board certified coach has given me a unique perspective in how to help people both with their personal and professional challenges.
I'm also a mom who has navigated the ups and downs of returning to work, separation/divorce, co-parenting, and healing a chronic health condition. I live in Brooklyn, NY with my teenage son who is about to launch off to college.
Personally, I am very passionate about mental health, the wellness space and functional medicine/nutrition. In my spare time, I like to experiment in the kitchen with gluten and dairy free cooking, dabble in an art & craft project, and spend time on my balcony enjoying my container garden while reading or writing.
