Discover authentic healing rooted in family wisdom as Somya turns a cancer diagnosis and past trauma into two soulful businesses blending ancient traditions with modern healing for both humans and pets.
In this episode of Unfiltered Solopreneur, host Nikhil Vaish speaks with Somyata Saxena, how she recounts her unexpected entry into cancer research and the profound realization that shifted her path: witnessing patients "come in healthy and leave devastated". Learn how she navigated her own cancer diagnosis by trusting her intuition over conventional treatment, a strength nurtured by her grandmother's unconditional love and her aunt's spiritual guidance. Her healing journey was further propelled by high-vibration, plant-based recipes inspired by her grandma's home cooking.
Key Topics Covered:
Her background in economics and marketing, not the medical field, and how a phone call led her to cancer research.
The critical moment she "couldn't do the job anymore" due to her own cancer.
Rejection of chemotherapy and radiation post-surgery, opting for natural methods and ancestral wisdom.
The Garden Recipe: a multi-faceted platform offering plant-based recipes, spirituality, and trauma healing.
Building a business focused on "depth rather than breadth" and a community of "high quality people".
Strategies for navigating personal challenges, including the loss of her grandmother and beloved dogs, while leading a mission-driven enterprise.
Perfect for solopreneurs seeking to transform personal adversity into a powerful mission, individuals exploring holistic health, and anyone committed to an authentic healing journey for mind, body, and soul, inspired by deep family connections.
