Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Keya Murthy. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Keya , thanks for joining us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.
I was trained to be a Physicist and a Software Engineer. I thought I would do that until I turned 58, and retire and live happily ever after. I was in middle-level management, earning 6 figure salary in 2000. I was 34. By 2001, the dot-com bust had occurred, and September 11 followed.
As a mother of three young children, and a frail marriage, I went through nearly 4 years of the nights of the soul, while being a housekeeper, a mother, and a wife. I was still earning money, but it was not filling my cup.
In 2004, I took my family on a 6-month cruise up the Himalayas with an open heart and a curious mind.
I realized that for things to change, I had to change. I couldn’t help but wonder why things happen or what I could do next. The questions born from ego lead to ego-based results, which are never aligned with our inner calling.
While meditating at 12000+ feet in the courtyard of the Tung Nath temple dedicated to Lord Shiva, the question came up from within, “What are you good at?” The response organically flowed out right behind the question. “I am good at being healthy, happy, feeling safe, and sharing love.”
The answer came: “Help others with what you are good at.” This defining moment brought me down the mountain and led me on the path to join the HMI school of Hypnotherapy in Los Angeles to become a Clinical Hypnotherapist.
Your inner script runs your outer life. Alter your script, alter your life.
I still do that today, to help my clients and audience change their unconscious script to create a conscious life they desire and deserve.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
As an intuitive alchemist, I am both a vessel and a channel. I hold space for my clients to process and release their emotional clutter carried forward through lifetimes and inherited through ancestral trauma to claim their wellness and brilliance.
I help my clients forgive their past, step into their present, and, using the universal laws of creation, honor the reason they incarnated.
Everyone has a purpose. First, you have to know what it is; next, you need support, guidance, and accountability to materialize your dreams.
Inner self-talk creates external misunderstandings, failing relationships, health, career, and wealth.
My clients learn to live free of blame, shame, and guilt as transparent, empowered empaths.
What’s a lesson you had to unlearn and what’s the backstory?
My father loves to love, and as a result, enables others. My mother loves to love, and as a result, calls out people to be their better version. Dad – soft love. Mom – tough love.
My mom came across as loud, and I hated that growing up. I felt embarrassed, though I always knew she was right.
My dad let people walk all over him, but people loved him, which I found attractive.
In my heart, I am as fierce as my mom, but I always feel bad for people who make excuses about money or time, and over-deliver, over-give, nearly choking them with my smothering mothering ways. I tried to be the mother that I didn’t have.
Finally, I got it, not to give people what they can’t handle and are not asking for explicitly. Claim my price and give people a reason to buy or move on.
I am learning to marry the enabler(dad) with the sovereign(mom) and walk the middle path, chin up, head high, as an empath leader.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
In 2005, I moved to California from Dallas, with no income and no family to support. My husband stayed back and withdrew everything from our joint savings account.
I was in California, going to school, three little kids, two dogs, never took any handout from the government, yet had rent money, gas money, and added dumpster diving into my weekly activities to buy milk and bread for my children.
Resilience is the only choice every wild mom is left with. I integrated it into my lifestyle because I wouldn’t beg, borrow or steal to survive.
I went through divorce, bankruptcy, more than one near-death experience, and was cheated by “friends” because of my naivety. I had a hit and run, someone hit me, I didn’t take their insurance, and left the scene, and they called the cops on me, for which I was sued by the city. Even the judge and the lawyer expressed remorse over the situation.
Each time I fell, I only stood up stronger.
I have many other stories….
