ep 28: nothing is wasted - on grief, loss and finding your way

Sandeep Adnani is an Amazon number one bestselling author, mental health counsellor, and life coach based in Dubai. He spent years working as a director of media before following a quiet calling into psychology and counselling, completing an 18-month course in nine months and building an online practice that he has run since 2018. He is the author of eight published books across multiple genres — from the award-winning Exiled Rogue Trilogy, a metaphysical and transformational fiction series about the purpose and meaning of life, to the You Decide nonfiction series drawn from his years in the counselling room. His first nonfiction book Wounded or Wise opened at number five in the Counselling category on Amazon Australia. The omnibus of his trilogy won the Silver Medal at the 2022 Global Book Awards. He writes with the heart of a seeker and the precision of someone who has spent years listening deeply to other people's pain — and his own.connect with SandeepSandy’s website: https://sandeepadnani.com/ Sandy’s instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sandeepadnani11/ Sandy’s counselling: https://www.instagram.com/counsellinglife/ ~📺watch and subscribe on youtubeSandeep Adnani left a successful career as a director of media in dubai to become a counsellor. he wrote six books across completely different genres. he lost his mother.. and found her again in a whole new way. in this conversation we get into what it actually looks like to walk away from a path that no longer fits, why listening to your body is one of the most radical acts you can do, how creative expression becomes a doorway to healing, what grief really is beneath all the pain and what it means to be liberated when only you know your journey. this one is warm, wise and deeply human. enjoy 💙what we explored this episode00:00 the career pivot that was always waiting03:56 the obstacles (redirections in disguise)08:58 why listening to your body terrifies most high achievers18:58 three trips to the emergency room24:23 junk data27:15 we are all children walking around looking for validation32:43 wounded or wise36:19 alchemising pain into creative expression40:14 we don't want things for the thing itself42:34 the 60th anniversary and the moment his mother passed44:15 changing the whatsapp group name47:17 what to do with all the unspent love50:56 it's okay not to know if any of this is real55:28 if you chose this, why did you choose this?56:28 your value is not determined by what someone else says about you57:41 what liberation actually means to Sandyconnect with me👉take the root cause auditfree five minute assessment - answer a few honest questions about what's showing up in your life right now. i'll personally review your responses and send you back a detailed breakdown of the specific emotional pattern driving your behaviour within 48 hours. no call and no pitch. just clarity on what's actually keeping you stuck.👉free resourcespractical tools, guided practices and resources to help you create more clarity, confidence and alignment - all 100% free. no catch - just high-impact support for high performers & purpose-driven humans ready to grow. enjoy! 👉need more support?if you’re interested in coaching programs and more support.👉linkedin👉facebook👉instagram👉tiktok👉youtube👉websitelots of love,david 💙
