We were lucky to catch up with Urvi Shah recently and have shared our conversation below.
Urvi, appreciate you joining us today. What’s the best advice you ever gave to a client? How did they benefit / what was the result? (Please note this response is for education/entertainment purposes only and shouldn’t be construed as advice for the reader)
The best advice I have given is to a client was to focus inward – pour love to yourself. What happens internally is a reflection of the external. As within, so without. This helped her tremendously because it took away pressure but also helped in focusing on what was in control. Suddenly things started to feel easier and more manageable.
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?
I am the founder of Inner Serenity LC and also a certified spiritual coach and healer for women on their motherhood journey. I started my career as a certified life coach and I knew I wanted to dive a bit deeper into spirituality with the clients I was serving. Simultaneously, I was going through my own personal journey with fertility and trying to conceive. This 8 year journey led to IVF cycle and eventually becoming pregnant with my son. Through the process of fertility, IVF, pregnancy, birth and postpartum – I realized how much I was living in this silence and navigating to find resources to help with understanding the emotional and mental state. Through my journey, I grounded in my faith – and that faith pulled me through fears and the darkest times of postpartum where I had intrusive thoughts and was suicidal. This entire journey of motherhood was also a portal for many spiritual awakenings and as I journeyed through them – I started remembering who I was. I started connecting to spiritual healing modalities and learned about energy work like reiki, angelic healing, chakra cleanse, etc. I also became certified in mindfulness modalities like meditation, breathwork and EFT tapping. This year, I self published a book called Soul Full Womb – My Motherhood Journey with the Divine – which is the legacy I want to leave behind. This book is vulnerable and goes through all the experiences I went on in the past 8 years to become a mother and thus after postpartum. I am so proud of this book and that I was able to put it out in the world.
I focus on working with women that are on their motherhood journey – from fertility to postpartum. I blend /marry the worlds of coaching, spirituality, mindfulness and mindset work into a healing sessions that bring them from a state of overwhelm/mental overload to calm/ease and joy. It isn’t about fixing anything, but actually undoing and remembering our Soul — connecting to our Soul and listening to the messages.
Products that I created are an affirmation deck, Soul Full Womb — a book about my motherhood journey and a mindfulness course for mamas. I also have group coaching programs, 1-1 coaching and 1-1 healing sessions. These can all be found on my website and social media pages. I also have a podcast called Soul Diaries – Discover Your Inner Serenity and a youtube channel where I have free educational videos, mindfulness practices and more!
We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
I have always lived with a feeling of “I am not good enough” “I can’t do this..” “I am not worthy enough..” — the past few years, I have really unlearned this and grounded into the certainty that I am enough as I am.
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
Being a mother in general requires resilience – however my entire journey to becoming a mother is an example of resiliency. In the 8 years, I could have given up at any point, but I kept going. I was consistent and held the vision. It didn’t matter on when, just mattered that it happened.
