Reclaiming Self-Trust: Identity, Transitions, and Aligned Living

What happens when your life is shaped by constant change—and you’re still learning how to come home to yourself?In this episode of Elsplend Realities, we sit down with Vanita Prisha Daryanani — empowerment coach, founder of Broaden Mindz, and mentor specializing in self-trust, clarity, and aligned decision-making — for a deeply reflective conversation about identity, belonging, and emotional resilience across life transitions.Vanita’s journey spans multiple continents and cultures, from growing up as an Indian girl in Taiwan to studying in Australia and building a life and business in Ghana. Along the way, she navigated early marriage, motherhood, cultural displacement, entrepreneurship, and reinvention—experiences that shaped her understanding of self-worth, adaptability, and purpose.Together, we explore what it means to grow up feeling like an outsider, how major life transitions can disrupt or rebuild self-trust, and why so many people struggle with the feeling of being “behind” in life. We also discuss the emotional impact of perceived failure, the difference between alignment and expectation, and how to gently reconnect with yourself when clarity feels distant.This episode is for anyone who has ever questioned their path, felt disconnected from their identity, or wondered whether they are allowed to change direction in life.A conversation about empowerment—but more deeply, a conversation about returning to yourself with compassion, patience, and honesty.
