“Paradox isn’t a confusion. It’s really not a problem to fix. It’s actually how reality works.” This conversations moves like a quiet current through paradox, wisdom, and the unseen ways life reshapes us. Together, Prashanthi and I explore the Tao Te Ching, the meaning of surrender, and how moments of illness, loss, and longing can open the door to deeper understanding. Prashanthi shares how her journey from India to engineering, to a life-altering experience, ultimately gave rise to her published work: Embracing Paradox.
Prashanthi’s bio & links:
Driven by a heart-centered philosophy and her name's meaning—"the highest form of peace"—Prashanthi operates at the unique intersection of fast-paced technology and deep spiritual logic. Rooted in diverse Eastern and Western philosophies, her path evolved through a mystical pull toward Taoism, teaching her that true wisdom thrives within the ordinary. Whether navigating strategic decision-making as a technology professional or embracing her roles as a mother, daughter, and friend, she brings a gentle mindfulness to high-stakes meetings, parenting, and relationships alike, gracefully holding life's contradictions without forcing a resolution.

After walking through the world as somewhat of a cynic for many years, Natalie found herself deeply humbled by a quite sudden and profound state of “non-ego” in 2014. This 48-hour period initiated her into a life-long spiritual journey. While on this path, Natalie has discovered that unique, first-hand, spiritual experience can threaten rigid belief systems of religious, secular, and New Age people alike. Because of this, she is dedicated to empowering people to look withinfor the security they seek and to release complete dependency on blind belief or external systems to guide them. Over the past ten years Natalie has been certified in MindfulSchools, Reiki Level 2, and has graduated from the Spiritual Guidance Mentorship program at Atlantic University. Natalie is also an ordained Avalon Rose Priestess through the Avalon Rose Chapel in Glastonbury, England. Her current advocacy centers around creating educational content to help people extract harmful ideology from truly spiritual and compassionate practices.
In the muggle world, Natalie is an actress, singer, dancer, choreographer, director, and playwright. She holds a B.A. in musical theatre performance, an M.A. in theatre education, was a high school theatre director for seven years, and is passionate about the connection between spirituality, mental health, and the arts, and the powerful healing effects that they can have, especially for disadvantaged youth.
