Hi There,
I’m Kanika,
And I love a good story!
I am genuinely interested in the faded memories of my parents’ friends, mesmerized by the corporate tales of the slightly buzzed business traveller at the airport bar, enamoured by the longwinded life story of the artist on the beach, and I am (probably far too) interested in the misadventures of my own life—the mountain tops, the valleys, and the rollercoasters in between.
I believe our stories connect us, and in every tale, there is a tool, a tip, or a learning lesson that can add colour to the canvas of our own lives.
So, through this website, I tell stories— in our newsletter, the blog, and the podcast—to understand and make meaning of the lives we lead, to learn from each other so we can live better, and to remember that we’re all a lot more connected than we think.
Let these stories help you rewrite yours!
Dear Beautiful Reader,
EVERYTHING IS ALWAYS CHANGING.
I’m so glad this site found you!
I reckon you’re a person of many dreams, who is yearning to live up to your full potential, embrace both the rainbows and the rain, and to take life and all it’s lemons with a pinch of salt (and maybe some tequila).
Think of me as your companion on your journey back home to you, your guide on your way to growth and self-belief, and the girl next door who shares with you learnings from the people she’s privileged to know and meet.
I’m a mom of two little girls who knows deeply that the best gift I can give them is the gift of my best self. And so through all my scars and brokenness, I strive to think, feel and live better every day.
I started Stepping into Better, because I needed it.
Despite the many amazing things I had worked on and created in my life, I reached a pivotal turning point when I realised that the most important thing I could create was my wiser, braver, happier and more connected self!
A rather lengthy phase in life marked by several massive life changes, confusion, stuckness, and rediscovering myself led to an innate resolve to be the co-author of my life, and architect of my future, no matter what was going on externally.
I wanted to learn what I wish they taught me in school – to become my own best guide and friend, and to think right, feel light, and live bright! And so began my Stepping into Better Adventure!
Elevation though, comes with a lot of isolation, and I knew that if I had had a like minded group of humans growing through what they were going through, while still finding joy in everyday living, the journey for me would have been so much more fulfilling and so much less lonely.
One person’s recipe, could be someone else’s meal 🥙
One person’s music, could help someone feel 🎶
One person’s writing, could help someone heal ✍️YOURS TRULY, KANIKA
My love for self-improvement, passion for people’s stories, and the joy I get from writing, all led me to create Stepping into Better.
I hope, that Stepping into Better becomes that space that you can turn to and return to, while you’re going through metamorphosis. Growing, but needing to love yourself as you are. Evolving, but also accepting all parts of you. Sometimes a conflicting journey, made so much easier with well travelled companions along the way. Welcome, to the adventure 🙂
Make yourself at home. You belong here and I am happy to call you my friend. Get yourself a glass of wine or some coffee, and get comfortable, as there is a lot of encouragement for you to explore here.
You have amazing potential within you and it is my prayer that I will help fuel you with the courage and confidence to cultivate it and to live life beautifully.
I appreciate you being here, and I hope you stay awhile for what’s to come!
Much Love,
Kanika
