WHO IS POOJA TANEJA?

The true essence of success is found in deep alignment with one’s soul: this revelation came to Pooja at an Arhatic meditation session 15 years ago, and it changed everything for her. To Pooja, every role we inhabit––whether as a leader, parent, partner or friend, must be an authentic reflection of who we are within. She strongly believes that when we live soulfully, our pursuits in business, relationships as well as personal growth reach their fullest potential. Without this inner connection with ourselves, fulfillment eludes us, sometimes leaving life feeling incomplete and devoid of purpose, says Pooja.

POOJA AS A LEADER

With more than 15+ years in leadership roles in both spiritual and corporate settings, Pooja brings a unique merge of rational insight, strength and wisdom of the heart to her work. She approaches life with a childlike wonder to learn and grow with every opportunity that life presents, and believes that true leadership is when we empower those around us to become leaders themselves by nurturing authenticity and purpose. To Pooja, a life fully lived is one where every facet comes together to form a harmonious, unified whole.

POOJA THE COACH

As one of India’s first Authenticity Coach, Pooja has created a sacred, non-judgement space, where individuals are welcome to look into their inner reality, let go of limiting beliefs and become the truest version of themselves. Her life’s mission is to help others find their inner light even in times when they don’t see it themselves, and guide them to a life of genuine living. Pooja’s coaching philosophy is one of profound empathy and gentle guidance, encouraging each person to embrace their own unique journey to finding themselves.

POOJA AT HOME

In her personal life, Pooja is a woman of many facets: a mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend. She sees each relationship as sacred grounds for growth. An avid gardener, who enjoys spending her time in the great outdoors, she draws inspiration from her time in the garden to nurture the souls around her the same way. Through her work, Pooja dreams of illuminating a spiritual path that enables others to find true happiness in being their true self.

“Life is the canvas upon which my soul leaves its brushstrokes — each experience a lesson; each connection a reflection. Our journey is one of relearning and radiating the light within. As I embrace my own authentic self, so shall I empower others to do”

From my journey to ours

It all began with an innate curiosity, and a lifelong commitment to spiritual growth. I was five when I first meditated and felt an intense pull toward understanding life’s deeper truths. In the years following this awakening, I built a successful standing as a family figure, leader and businesswoman, simply by harmonising my material achievements with inner calling. 

The year was 2020 when I experienced an overwhelming disconnection from my own self and essence. As someone who had been healing and coaching other souls in their quest for fulfilment and joy for a decade, I realised it was time for me to reset and recalibrate. 

I embarked on an inner routine of unlearning, releasing old beliefs, and relearning the true self I am and the one I aspire to be. While meditating and expressing this discontent to my spiritual guru during this sabbatical, I found a release from roles and responsibilities that no longer served my life’s true purpose. This catharsis brought upon a deeper connection with my most authentic self and marked the beginning of my journey as a spiritual co-creator. 

As I engaged in formal training with renewed clarity, an inner guidance inspired me to start a journaling practice called, ‘The feedback of my Soul.’ Through this deep work drill, I have rekindled with my joyous passion to serve other souls from the purest depths of my own.

Truly yours,
Pooja
