Behind the careers and titles are two people who’ve felt broken, unworthy, and lost in love. Ruchi spent over 17 years in global investment banking, leading high-impact teams across India, Hong Kong, London, and Singapore. Praveen built his career in the U.S. designing inclusive financial solutions for underserved communities. But no role taught us more than the role of being in—and recovering from—deeply painful relationships. Ruchi survived 12 years in an emotionally abusive marriage while holding up a high-functioning professional façade. Praveen lost his first wife to a tragic illness, and later experienced a scarring, turbulent second marriage. These weren’t just personal struggles—they were identity-shattering chapters that forced us to confront our worth, our wounds, and our patterns. Through therapy, inner work, parenting alone, and rebuilding brick by emotional brick, we eventually found clarity—and then, found each other. Not to complete each other. But to walk alongside each other, as equals, in conscious connection.
