MMP Talks

Smita Joshi recently took the MMP stage with her powerful talk, Can Yoga Be Weaponised?  In this captivating presentation, she explores how yoga can go beyond the physical, becoming a transformative tool for mastering the mind and emotions. Watch now to discover a fresh perspective on yoga’s potential to empower and elevate.

Meet Smita

In her two-and-a-half-decade corporate career, Smita worked with C-suite leaders of global industry giants, winning and delivering multi-million-dollar contracts—including a landmark $1 billion deal. She was a pioneer in bringing India’s Information Technology Services into the core operations of major British and European corporations, reshaping industry paradigms.

Alongside my corporate career, I became a life coach and led personal transformation programmes to groups of hundreds at a time. As a TV presenter and host of The Self Discovery Channel,  she has interviewed global thought leaders and gurus, entrepreneurs and politicians. A devoted practitioner,  Smita is also a certified yoga teacher and transformation coach.  She’s married and lives in London.

Follow a young woman’s gripping journey of Self-discovery across continents and lifetimes as she struggles to conquer life’s conflicts … then she starts heeding the inner voice …
Dive into Smita’s curated collection of guided meditations, inspired by a lifetime of personal practice and ancestral wisdom. Whether you’re seeking inner peace, clarity, or a deeper connection to your inner Self, each audio offers a unique pathway to mindfulness and spiritual growth. Designed for both novices and seasoned meditators, Smita’s audios provide the perfect backdrop for introspection and self-discovery. Embrace the serenity and let Smita guide your inner journey.
Smita Joshi offers a transformative mentoring and coaching experience. She guides individuals to elevate their leadership potential and achieve significant breakthroughs in their chosen fields. Through her program, participants learn to silence disruptive ‘mind monkey noise’, challenge limiting beliefs, and harness insights beyond everyday consciousness. Smita’s holistic approach ensures decisions align with one’s authentic self, leading to internal and external satisfaction.
Smita Joshi stands out as a British-Indian orator, renowned for her ability to captivate and inspire audiences. Drawing from her rich tapestry of experiences, she seamlessly bridges the wisdom of Eastern spirituality with the practicalities of Western insights. With over twenty years in the realm of personal transformation, Smita’s talks resonate deeply, providing listeners with transformative perspectives and actionable insights. Whether it’s about self-discovery, purpose-driven living, or the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern challenges, her speeches are a beacon of enlightenment and motivation. As a speaker, Smita doesn’t just communicate; she connects, leaving her audience invigorated, enlightened, and empowered.
Yoga is not just a physical practice but a transformative journey of the mind, body, and soul. Originating from ancient traditions and deeply rooted in spiritual philosophy, yoga offers a holistic approach to well-being. Beyond the asanas or postures, it integrates breath control, meditation, and moral disciplines to harmonize the inner and outer self. In the words of the Bhagavad Gita, “Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the Self.” Embracing yoga means embarking on a path of self-discovery, promoting mental clarity, physical strength, and spiritual enlightenment. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned practitioner, yoga provides a sanctuary of balance and peace in our often chaotic world.
The Self-Discovery Channel – be inspired and connect to the “Real You” beyond the noise of your mind, the chaos of life.

  • This is what it means 👇
 
If someone keeps popping into your head, it’s not random. It’s your mind signalling what needs attention:
 
1️⃣Unresolved Emotion
That mental loop is your brain begging for closure.
 
2️⃣Energetic Echo
Deep connections leave a vibration that lingers.
 
3️⃣Trauma Bond
Intense or unpredictable ties train your nervous system to stay alert.
 
4️⃣Projection of Needs
You’re craving what they once gave (or could’ve given) so your mind fills the void.
 
5️⃣Mirror to Your Growth
Their face reveals what you need to heal, integrate, or release.
 
Have you experienced any of this? Let me know in the comments.

  • You've mastered the art of looking like you have it all together
 
On the surface, you're crushing it. You show up, you deliver, you're the one everyone turns to when they need something handled.
 
But behind closed doors? 👇
 
👉🏽You're emotionally drained and running on empty
👉🏽You feel disconnected from yourself and what you actually want
👉🏽You're constantly giving but never receiving the same energy back
👉🏽You've become an expert at suppressing your feelings just to keep going
👉🏽You know something's missing but can't quite put your finger on what
👉🏽Self-care feels like another task on your endless to-do list
👉🏽You've lost touch with who you are beneath all the roles you play
 
Here's what no one tells you: You're not broken. You're just carrying emotional weight that was never meant to be yours alone.
 
The exhaustion you feel isn't about needing more sleep or better time management. It's your soul asking you to finally come home to yourself.
 
Follow me here if you’re ready to stop just coping… and start feeling whole again 💎

  • Here they are, six hidden childhood wounds that may surprise you. Save this for when you’re ready to heal ☕️
 
1. Safety Wound
 Growing up tiptoeing around unpredictable moods taught you to brace for the worst. Now calm moments feel uneasy, your mind races with “what ifs,” and true relaxation seems out of reach.
 
2. Abandonment Wound
When a parent was physically or emotionally absent, you learned to expect being left behind. Now you either cling to those you love, shut down in fear, or push them away before they can walk out on you.
 
3. Trust Wound
If caregivers let you down or you were forced to care for everyone else, you don’t fully let anyone in. You anticipate disappointment and struggle to feel truly supported in your relationships.
 
4. Worthiness Wound
Being ignored, blamed, or only praised for your achievements taught you that you’re only “enough” when you perform. Now you overdo, overgive, and over-apologise just to feel worthy.
 
5. Rejection Wound
Criticism, comparison, or messages that you were too much—or not enough—made you take everything personally. You hide parts of yourself or play a role to win acceptance.
 
6. Love Wound
Conditional love—“be good, don’t fuss, don’t burden anyone”—leaves you fearful of intimacy. You either attract unavailable partners or sabotage real connection because vulnerability feels unsafe.
 
These wounds live in your body, shape your thoughts, and drive your default responses—shutting down, overreacting, isolating, people-pleasing, over-functioning, staying small.
 
Here’s the truth: these patterns are not your personality or your destiny. They’re learned survival strategies—and they can be unlearned.
 
Your healing journey begins when you recognise the programming and choose a new way forward.

  • It's trapped you in survival mode
 
Growing up surrounded by constant chaos, conflict and arguing keeps your nervous system stuck in perpetual survival mode. That fight or flight response becomes your default setting 🧠
 
What does that look like? 👇
 
👉🏽You're always on high alert and scanning for danger 
👉🏽You never truly feel safe or relaxed 
👉🏽Small things stress you out easily 
👉🏽Anxiety feels like your constant companion 
👉🏽You're always trying to control your surroundings 
👉🏽Silence and stillness actually make you uncomfortable 
👉🏽You may struggle with hyper-independence because you had to mature too quickly 
👉🏽You might have developed people-pleasing habits, constantly trying to keep others calm by giving them what they want
 
Growing up in family dysfunction is a form of trauma that erodes your self-worth and destroys your fundamental sense of safety in the world.
