Jalandhar witnessed a powerful celebration of female potential as renowned US-based motivational author and speaker Priya Kumar launched her latest book in the city. The event, held at the Lovely Professional University (LPU) campus, resonated with a message of self-belief and empowerment for women from all walks of life.
A Call to Recognize Inner Strength
Addressing a captivated audience, Priya Kumar shared the core philosophy behind her new book, 'The Calling: Unleash Your True Self'. She passionately articulated her belief in the unique power women hold. "I believe women can create magic," Kumar stated, emphasizing that this 'magic' stems from intuition, resilience, and an innate capacity to nurture and transform.
The author did not merely speak in abstractions. She wove in real-life anecdotes and insights from her book, which is structured as a fictional inspirational tale. Kumar explained that the narrative is designed to guide readers on a journey of self-discovery, helping them confront fears and embrace their authentic purpose.
Celebrating Local Stories of Resilience
The launch event was more than just a book promotion; it was a platform sharing inspiring local narratives. The stage was shared by Dr. Monica Gulati, Senior Dean at LPU, and Dr. Riti Gupta, a city-based dermatologist. Both women shared their personal and professional journeys, highlighting the challenges they overcame and the 'magic' they created in their respective fields.
Their stories served as tangible proof of Kumar's message, showing how women in Jalandhar and beyond are already making significant impacts. The discussion delved into the pressures women face in balancing societal expectations with personal ambitions, and the importance of creating supportive ecosystems.
Beyond the Book: A Dialogue on Empowerment
The interactive session saw enthusiastic participation from students, professionals, and homemakers. Priya Kumar engaged in a meaningful dialogue, answering questions about overcoming self-doubt, finding one's voice, and the practical steps to heed one's 'calling'.
She stressed that empowerment begins with a shift in internal dialogue. The event successfully created a sense of community and shared purpose among the attendees. Many left with not just a signed copy of 'The Calling', but with a renewed sense of possibility and a clearer understanding of their own potential to create positive change.
The book launch, set against the vibrant academic backdrop of LPU, underscored the growing appetite for motivational and personal development content in the region. It highlighted how global thought leaders like Priya Kumar are connecting with Indian audiences, particularly women, encouraging them to write their own stories of success and fulfillment.
