“I Thought Something Was Wrong With Me”: A Client’s Story of Leadership, Identity, and Coming Home to Herself

I was 32 years old, doing everything right—at least on paper.

Good education. A strong corporate career. Promotions that came faster than expected.

By the time I reached a Senior Manager position, everyone around me thought I had “made it.”

But inside, I felt something I couldn’t explain.

Life suddenly felt… misaligned.

When Success Started Feeling Heavy Instead of Fulfilling

Until that point, my career graph had been smooth and upward. I was ambitious, capable, and respected.

But at the senior leadership level, the rules felt different.

I was expected to:

• Be more aggressive

• Be more authoritative

• Be tougher, louder, sharper

Slowly, I started feeling like I had to become someone else to survive.

I remember thinking:

• Why does this feel so unnatural?

• Why am I exhausted even when I’m succeeding?

• Why does leadership suddenly feel like a performance?

That’s when I realized—it wasn’t burnout from work. It was burnout from trying to be a version of myself that wasn’t me.

Coming to Astrology Without Fear—But With Confusion

I didn’t come to astrology because I was scared.

I came because I was confused.

I wanted to understand:

• Why my confidence felt shaken

• Why leadership no longer felt intuitive

• Why I felt pressure to “harden” myself

That’s when I decided to speak to Bhagyashree Holistic Astrology & Lifestyle.

The Moment That Changed Everything

During the session, Bhagyashree looked at my chart and said something I had never heard before.

She explained that I had:

• Libra Lagna

• Moon placed in the 10th house

Then she said:

“You are not designed to be a strongman leader. You are a soft leader.”

That sentence landed deeply.

Understanding What a “Soft Leader” Really Means

She explained that my chart showed leadership through:

• Emotional intelligence

• Balance and fairness

• Relationship management

• Intuition and people awareness

I wasn’t meant to dominate rooms. I wasn’t meant to bulldoze decisions.

My strength was in:

• Holding teams together

• Reading unspoken dynamics

• Creating harmony in chaos

• Leading with grace instead of force

And then she said something that stayed with me:

“You don’t need to become a man to be a leader.”

I didn’t even realize how much I needed to hear that.

Letting Go of the Pressure to Perform Masculinity

Until that moment, I had unconsciously believed:

• To succeed, I had to be tougher

• To lead, I had to suppress softness

• To survive, I had to abandon intuition

Bhagyashree helped me see that this belief was not ambition—it was conditioning.

My chart wasn’t failing me. I was failing myself by rejecting my natural leadership style.

Practical Shifts, Not Just Emotional Relief

What I appreciated most was that the session didn’t stop at insight.

She helped me:

• Reframe how I showed authority

• Use calm presence instead of force

• Trust my instinct in decision-making

• Stop overcompensating in meetings

• Redefine success on my terms

This wasn’t about quitting my job. It was about leading as myself.

What Changed After That

Once I stopped trying to “harden” myself, things shifted naturally.

• My confidence returned

• My communication became clearer

• My leadership felt authentic again

• My exhaustion reduced

I didn’t need to shout to be heard. I didn’t need to dominate to be respected.

I needed alignment—not armor.

What This Experience Gave Me

That session gave me:

• Language for who I already was

• Permission to stop self-betrayal

• Clarity instead of self-doubt

Most importantly, it taught me that:

Not all leaders are meant to lead the same way.

Some lead with force. Some lead with presence.

Both are powerful—when honored correctly.

Why I Trust This Work

What made this experience different from any other guidance I’ve received was this:

I wasn’t told to change myself. I was taught to understand myself.

That is rare.

And that is why Bhagyashree Holistic Astrology & Lifestyle felt less like a consultation and more like a return to self.

A Quiet Truth for Women in Leadership

If you are a woman in a high-responsibility role and you feel:

• Out of place despite success

• Tired of performing strength

• Conflicted about ambition

It may not be because you’re weak.

It may be because you are leading in a system that hasn’t taught you how to honor softness.

Astrology, when practiced ethically, doesn’t box you in. It gives you permission to lead as you are.

And that changed everything for me.
