In this intimate solo episode of Deeply Well, Devi opens up about a part of her story — the journey from broadcast journalism to the creation of this very podcast, which began as Dropping Gems. What started as a shift in career eventually became a full-circle return to her truth.

Devi reflects on what it meant to unlearn the polished performance of traditional media and reclaim her authentic voice, one rooted in softness, presence, and real connection. This episode is an offering for anyone who’s ever felt the call to pivot, to let go of perfection, and to trust their own becoming.

She speaks candidly about the discomfort of stepping away from who the world expected her to be, the growth that comes from choosing vulnerability, and the sacredness of showing up as your whole imperfect self. She also shares updates regarding her sabbatical, the creative projects coming soon, and some gentle wisdom about planning for the future while staying grounded in the present moment.

This is a love note to your evolution. A reminder that your path is yours alone, and that even when it feels unfamiliar or nonlinear, it is still deeply worthy and divinely guided.
