We recently had the chance to connect with Simi Gandhi and have shared our conversation below.
Simi , it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
I lose track of time when I am immersed in emotional connection and spiritual flow – whether that’s sharing wisdom, dancing, singing or being in nature. In those moments, the noise of the world fades, and I reconnect with my true self. It’s in getting lost that I find myself again – whole, present and complete.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
I help people slow down, breathe, and remember who they are! I’ve spent three decades in the fast-paced corporate world, but my heart has always been called to a different kind of work. Through my brand, OneWithSimi, I hold space for one-on-one journeys where we peel back layers of stress, fear, and self-doubt, so my clients can find their way home to themselves and their purpose. Out of my own healing path and learnings as a certified yoga, meditation, and breath work facilitator, I created the 3M Program – a mindful blend of these modalities – designed to nurture mental and emotional well being. I’ve seen it open hearts and steady minds, from youth finding their confidence to adults rediscovering their spark. For me this work is a devotion to remind others that wholeness is never lost, only waiting to be remembered.
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who were you before the world told you who you had to be?
I was always a free- spirited, happy and sensitive soul. I loved to sing, play in nature, talk to people, and even dance in the rain – completely unfiltered and alive. Like many of us, life’s expectations slowly pulled me away from those essential parts of myself, but I never lost the “frequency” of what that felt like. That vibration became my compass, leading me back to that place – back to the truest version of me. The journey has been empowering, profound and healing. It is why I do the work I do today: because finding our way home to ourselves is not just a personal longing, it’s a soul’s dharmic and karmic calling.
What did suffering teach you that success never could?
Suffering taught me something success never could—that it’s in the breaking that you uncover the pieces of yourself you didn’t even know were missing. Success often brings comfort and stability, but comfort rarely demands change. Suffering, on the other hand, stripped away the illusions I had absorbed from culture, society, and others’ expectations. It forced me to release the life I thought I should be living and redefine it on my own terms. In that space, I gathered the scattered fragments of my true self, rebuilt my courage, and learned to move through fear until nothing felt impossible.
Success gave me stability. But suffering gave me evolution—and the wisdom to live authentically and unapologetically as myself.
Sure, so let’s go deeper into your values and how you think. Is the public version of you the real you?
Yes—the public version of me is the real me. My path has always been about living authentically, whether I’m in an intimate conversation or standing before a crowd. People often tell me they feel they can trust me, and I believe that’s because what they see is what they get—no masks, no hidden agendas. I consciously work to keep my vibration high through meditation, mindset practices, and surrounding myself with the right energy. Throughout my life, I’ve been told I carry a magnetic aura, and I think that comes from one simple truth: my inner and outer worlds are aligned. That alignment is not just my practice—it’s my greatest strength!
Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: What do you understand deeply that most people don’t?
What I understand deeply, in a way many might not, is the weight of not living in alignment with your own truth. I’ve felt the subtle ache of betraying myself – ignoring my intuition, silencing my needs, and bending to expectations that weren’t mine. Many move through life never fully tasting that loss. But I’ve also experienced the luminous opposite: the clarity, the peace, and quiet power that comes from honoring yourself, prioritizing your own growth, and choosing self-love consistently. That contrast has shown me that living with integrity to your inner voice is a form of spiritual awakening.
