Serena Low speaks with Kanika Vasudeva, a Radiant Empowerment Coach and Akashic Records Reader who helps spiritual entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers break through invisible ceilings and embody more — more radiance, more freedom, and more soul.

Kanika opens up about the personal tragedy that became the turning point in her journey — the stillbirth of her daughter — and how it awakened her to the vastness of life, the illusion of control, and the unconditional love of Spirit. Through her story, she shares how she learned to find peace, forgiveness, and purpose by connecting with her soul and understanding her soul contracts.

Together, Serena and Kanika explore how our deepest pain can become the portal to transformation, how to free ourselves from “good girl” conditioning, and why surrendering to the universal flow allows us to live with more authenticity, joy, and trust.

This episode is a reminder that healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken — it’s about coming home to who you truly are.

Key Themes & Takeaways

• Turning Pain into Awakening – Kanika shares how the loss of her daughter became her soul’s wake-up call and how pain, when faced with grace, becomes a teacher of light.
• Soul Contracts & Akashic Records – What they are, how they influence our relationships and life experiences, and how understanding them helps us heal at the deepest level.
• The “Good Girl” Conditioning – How cultural expectations to please and conform can keep women trapped in unhappiness, and what it means to choose your own happiness as an act of courage and love.
• Healing Triggers and Inner Children – Why we get triggered by others, how every person in our life mirrors what needs to be healed, and how to reclaim lost energy by meeting our younger selves with compassion.
• The Power of Surrender – Letting go of control, trusting the universal flow, and allowing life to unfold with ease and alignment.
• Grounding Practice for Self-Love – Kanika guides listeners through a soothing earthing meditation to release heavy emotions and reconnect to unconditional love and safety.

In this deeply reflective conversation, Louis Kim shares his journey from chronic burnout and emotional numbness to becoming a heart-centered leader who blends business acumen with soulful awareness.

Born to Korean immigrants in the United States, Louis grew up navigating two worlds, channeling discipline and drive into building and exiting over $50 million in businesses across healthcare, real estate, and technology.

Now as the founder of Yusan Capital, Louis leads with values of principled equity, radical collaboration, and abundant prosperity. In this episode, he opens up about how introversion, curiosity, and stillness shaped his leadership philosophy — and why the ability to sit in silence can be the ultimate power move.

Key Takeaways

• The evolution from introvert to expansive leader: How Louis reframed his identity and learned to use curiosity as a catalyst for growth.
• Reclaiming stillness as a strength: Why silence and observation are powerful tools in leadership and negotiation.
• The long game of mastery: Lessons from bodybuilding, business, and life — success is built one rep, one decision at a time.
• Immigrant grit and generational influence: How his mother’s courage and quiet strength became a blueprint for his entrepreneurial spirit.
• Creating safety in collaboration: How radical honesty and shared intent allow diverse personalities to thrive in business and teams.
• Quiet leadership in action: Redefining what strength, authority, and impact look like for introverts and reflective leaders.

In this insightful episode of The Quiet Warrior Podcast, I speak with Susan Barber — a leadership visibility coach, former Fortune 500 executive, and author of The Visibility Factor and the upcoming Your Journey to Visibility Workbook.

Susan shares her powerful journey from sitting quietly in the back of corporate meeting rooms to becoming a visible, influential leader who helps others do the same. Drawing from 25 years at Kraft Heinz, she opens up about overcoming imposter syndrome, reframing self-doubt, and learning to take small, consistent actions toward visibility — all while staying true to her introverted nature.

If you’ve ever wondered how to be seen and heard without being loud, this conversation will inspire you to start your own journey — one micro-action at a time.

In This Episode, We Discuss:

• Evolving from invisible to visible: how Susan went from hiding in the back of meetings to sitting confidently at the executive table.
• Reframing imposter syndrome: why feeling unsure can actually be a sign of growth — and how humility can work in your favor.
• Preparation over panic: how introverts can replace the fear of “freezing up” with calm readiness and self-trust.
• Feedback as fuel for growth: Susan’s practical advice for exploring — not fearing — feedback, and using it as a leadership superpower.
• Little experiments, big impact: how to build confidence through small, strategic steps instead of giant leaps.
• Owning your narrative: why it’s essential to define how you want others to perceive you — and how to start embodying that version of yourself today.

Key Takeaways:

• Visibility isn’t about self-promotion; it’s about sharing value and contributing meaningfully.
• Every interaction is an opportunity for visibility — from meetings to everyday conversations.
• Being visible can start with something as small as offering help, asking a thoughtful question, or sharing your team’s wins.
• You were hired for a reason. Your voice and ideas matter.
• Confidence grows from trusting yourself, trying new things, and staying curious.
