I’m Ritu — a belonging devotee, empowerment author, leadership speaker, life coach, and justice advocate who wants to help you live a life you love.
My mission is to help create a world that’s filled with belonging for all. I want everyone to experience the beauty that comes with living their truth.
As a passionate advocate for authenticity, I’ve now presented to hundreds of thousands globally and coached over a thousand people to cultivate and claim belonging. I’m living proof of what can happen when you stand in your power while fighting the hate and hardships in your way.
I wasn’t always empowered to be an unapologetic, fiercely authentic person.
I carried my insecurities and the pressure to conform into my work life, first as a lawyer and then as an HR leader at a global law firm. While it may have looked like I was living a “dream life”, on the inside I was so unhappy. The person I was in my day to day life bore little resemblance to my true self.
Born in Toronto, Canada to Sikh Punjabi immigrant parents, I experienced the constant sting of racist bullying growing up, while also struggling with cultural tension about my identities. I internalized that something was wrong with me because I was a sassy and smart Brown girl from a humble background. I learned to self-loathe.
