✨ What if the struggles you face today aren’t random — but patterns carried from past lives?

In this episode of Founder in the Chair, Veena sits down with Gautami, an astrologer, numerologist, and past life regression therapist, to explore how karma, energy, and soul lessons shape our life path.

From Bollywood beginnings to guiding people through their karmic cycles, Gautami’s story is one of deep transformation. She explains how past life regression reveals root causes, why every soul chooses its lessons, and how true remedies lie in mindfulness and awareness — not just rituals.

🔑 What you’ll learn in this episode:

• The truth about karma and how it really works
• How past life regression uncovers repeating patterns
• Why the soul chooses its parents, life path, and lessons
• The link between astrology, numerology, and soul purpose
• How mindfulness is the most powerful remedy
