A Little About Me
If you're looking for a chic, curated bio, I didn't bring one. What I do have is 5 home addresses, 3 professions, 1 husband, 2 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat, the full marriage package, and 25+ years of being on default mom mode- all packed into my 4.9 decades. If you've managed to decode that inventory, cheers, you've landed! That's me.
And, I am still sane.

My Journey
The Story So Far
Hey! I'm Anuradha. Younger of the two siblings, I grew up in a modest Maharashtrian family- a father rooted in discipline and quiet diligence, and a mother immensely dedicated to home making and her family, shaped much of who I am. The diligent student that I always was, my life until my graduation was as box pleated and crisp as my skirt in St.Joseph’s High School.
From 15 years of dentistry to business and language coaching, the last 26 years have been anything but linear. My professional trajectory has been interesting, to say the least. Meanwhile, the default mode has been set to 'Mom' since 2001. My pink and blue are now adults.
The most consequential decision was when I decided to shift from a 9-to-9 working mother to a full-time mother. What then felt like the toughest call of my life, looking back, I know I wouldn't change a thing.
The pause taught me growth, patience, and a deeper sense of responsibility, quietly reshaping my identity.
Parenting isn't only about what our kids become, but equally about what we unbecome along the way.
The Why
Why MeSoFar Exists
Some of life's biggest transitions arrive without a roadmap. Parenting, relationships, identity, family, midlife, and everything in between often leave us with questions we don't quite know where to take. MeSoFar exists for those conversations.
The Milestones
The milestones arrived as expected. What they would ask of me, did not.
The Realisation
Turns out I wasn't the only one asking these questions. Many of us were navigating the same waters, just in different boats.
The Unlearning
The biggest lessons came from unlearning old scripts and making room for new perspectives.
MeSoFar
MeSoFar is where those learnings, unlearnings, questions, and conversations continue.
What I Believe
A few things this marathon taught me.
Twenty five plus years of parenting, professional shifts, and life in general have left me with a few quiet truths I keep returning to.
Milestones go both ways
Be it parenting or life, it isn't just about the milestones we reach; it's also about what we unbecome along the way. It is a work in progress, for both, always.
Unlearning is its own skill
Being sensitive to the emotional needs of children of all ages requires unlearning conventional methods most of us were conditioned to.
We are in the same ship
Most parents are sailing in the same ship, and so are the children. The sooner we admit this, the lighter the marathon feels.
Change is not just for parenting
The willingness to change and unlearn does not confine itself to parenting. It helps us run the rest of the marathon as changed people. That is its beauty.
Our Direction
The Heart of MeSoFar
Two quiet anchors that hold this space steady, the why behind every conversation, and the world it hopes to build.
Mission
What we are here for.
To create a warm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental space where women can pause, feel heard, and navigate life, relationships, identity, and midlife transitions with greater clarity and a fresh perspective.
Vision
What we hope to build.
A space where honest conversations around womanhood, relationships, family dynamics, emotional wellness, and evolving identity feel normal, safe, and human- and where women find support in creating a happier, more fulfilling life.
A Personal Note
Hi there!
If you have scrolled this far, thank you. It truly means a lot to me.
I did not plan to start anything called MeSoFar. It grew slowly out of years of lived experiences, conversations, and quiet noticing. Out of realising that most of us are running the same marathon, just at different stretches, with different shoes, and sometimes a few blisters.
The universe has been incredibly kind to me. I have been fortunate to receive the right help at the right time from the right people, and to have people who have had my back through life's many twists and turns. They have helped me navigate this trail so far and shown me the value of unlearning and restoring my emotional well-being.
I certainly do not have all the answers. But through my writing and my work as an empathy coach, I hope to walk alongside you as you navigate relationships, parenthood, womanhood, life's transitions, and perhaps understand yourself a little better along the way.
If anything here resonated, that is reason enough to say hello. Write. Call. Message. No script needed, just begin where you are.
With warmth and gratitude,
AnuLet's Connect
The marathon is more fun together.
If any of this made you nod, smile, and think, "Oh, that's me," or felt like someone had been reading your mental notes, that is reason enough to reach out. No expectations, no agenda. Just an open door and a warm cup of conversation when you're ready.
